Comments by "TheSuperappelflap" (@TheSuperappelflap) on "The "Conspiracy" to Kill Cold Fusion" video.

Every couple months there is another huge breakthrough reported in some field like the ones mentioned in this video, cold fusion, room temperature superconductors, some form of free energy, super strong materials, etc. Anyone who has any familiarity with the scientific process knows to just hold your horses and see if the study can be replicated in independent trials. Sometimes, it turns out to be correct. The LK99 thing wasnt, but there have been breakthroughs in superconducting materials in the past decades. When carbon nanotubes were discovered, a lot of people also thought it was bs. You simply cant know before people put in the work to verify the claims. Also, with video editing and AI systems being abundantly available right now, you probably shouldnt trust a video that shows a levitating rock, just saying.

If you want to see dedication to truth and holding people accountable, you should look into speedrunning. People will write 80 page essays with university level math just to try to prove that someone changed a game file to improve their RNG.

Data is never perfect. Thats why statistics exists.

@J-Johna-Jameson That's not the only time that happened. Just in Minecraft several other speed runners got banned for changing game files after people spent hundreds of hours analyzing footage and building math models of in game mechanics to prove that the items they got from chests and their luck with drops were impossible. This has also happened in Diablo 2, in Civ 6, in many other games. You don't mess with the speed running community.

@skyaero8773 Hot fusion is not a divisive issue at this point. ITER will be up and running in the next decade, the technology has been proven to work, its just a matter of scaling up. Whats crazy is that basically the entire developed world together is investing one half of a billion euro per year into technology that we know can generate nearly infinite clean energy, while investing much more into dumb measures like converting to electric cars before the energy grid and electricity generation capacity are ready for it, as well as wasting tons of rare materials on batteries and solar panels. If all that money had been invested into fundamental research we would have a working hot fusion reactor right now. But I guess that doesnt make the car manufacturers money.
