So… how much ya wanna bet this guy faked up the video to secure/maintain funding, and didn’t quite realize how far it’d go ….
… and back tracked as soon as they realized there was about to be a shitload of scrutiny.
Could have gone way worst with years of lies Theranos style
oh absolutely.
I should release my paper about how I turned lead into gold. Nobody would care about that one, right?
well, it's already been done. (well, that may not be what's going on in the article, but the particle accelerators have created gold... by doing their smashy-smashy thing)(I'm sure the physicists love it when we reduce decades of their work to sounding like toddlers smacking stuff together to see what happens... it's really ~~grown up~~ serious science!)
So your saying that the person who sold me my alchemist degree and the secret formula was full of shit? Damn.
