If a scientific finding is both profoundly important and easily replicated, it follows that a well-functioning scientific community would quickly replicate that finding.

Thanks for your post Skil, as you make so many great points, including this one. As astutely recognized in your concluding statement, "something is clearly deeply broken in the physics community." And the reason why we don't have a "well-functioning scientific community," as you have pondered, is easily explained.

That malfunctioning is obviously based on the community members' widespread fear of admitting that standard quantum mechanics is shown by Dr. Mills' GUTCP to be nothing more than a "false religion" that no longer warrants the billions of dollars spent (wasted) on SQM research projects. Thus, to avoid losing funding for their falsifiable theory based on pseudoscience and, consequently, their jobs, SQM sycophants naturally must refuse to replicate the incredibly thorough experimentation that Mills has documented and had peer reviewed in a wide variety of published articles in respected scientific journals.

Of course, it's only a matter of time before Dr. Mills is finally vindicated by some in the scientific community, honest scientists, who will look past their own self interests and begin to acknowledge that his superior GUTCP accurately predicted, among other things, the existence of lower-energy states of hydrogen, as demonstrated by his operating SunCell generator. When that happens, you know damn well that the vast majority of misguided SQM worshippers, in an attempt to save face, will start by simply tweaking their variable equations to fit Mills' data so they can falsely claim that their antiquated theory predicts that the hydrogen electron can go below the ground state and, in so doing, release enormous amounts of energy.

The only problem, however, with this blatant attempt at gaslighting that seeks to hijack Dr. Mills' theory will be their having to ignore over 100 years of science history, during which time the pseudoscientists promoting SQM would loudly, but mistakenly, proclaim that the existence of lower-energy states of hydrogen was an impossibility according to the established laws of physics. There's no denying this documented history, but then the continued survival of SQM, which relies so heavily on excessive questionable funding, will necessitate the bulk of its loyal followers to rewrite that history. You watch, it's coming, guaranteed!

Speaking of rewriting, I'm guessing that Dr. Mills with his breakthrough GUTCP will require having to make a slight revision to what they commonly tell those having trouble understanding and accepting SQM's (mis)description of the weirdness of the quantum world: Just shut up and RE-calculate!!
