I very much would like to see attempted replications of Langmuir's hydrogen-tungsten experiment, as well as Wendt and Irion's exploding tungsten wire experiment and Paneth and Peter's PdH absorption experiment.
And there you have it! WTF! Is the whole “science” establishment so filled with cowardice or dominated by ‘physics as a religion’ that no one will do or discuss anomalies? And speaking of heresy, it seems to me that if there is no Creator or single “Designer” of the universe, then we should fully expect anomalies, ‘work arounds’, paradoxes and “that’s just the way it is” INSTEAD of ‘elegant” theories. Even if you maintain that all traces of Theology have been removed from scientific endeavor, I still would point out that the universe is ultimately ARBITRARY. It ‘just is’ –and so said astrophysicist Victor Mansfield ( kinda New Age) and Victor Stenger ( hard core atheist – as in his explanations of quantum correlated photons – Bell, Alain).
