His findings will have to survive the peer review system for me to give them any credence. I hope he knows that there's a 1 million dollar prize for anyone who can show the existence of the things he claims to have proven.

If they have anything, then they are trying to make it as hard to find as possible. This is unacceptable, yet not suprising.

It's a load of garbage. Been over this before elsewhere. There's no way that they can calibrate the REGs, and there is no way to set up a double-blind test.

I've been over their data from 9-11-2001 in some detail, and none of it makes ANY sense at all. It is, essentially, the art of looking at something so long and so hard that you think it makes sense when it doesn't at all.
Do not meddle in the affairs of insomniacs, for they are cranky and can do things to you while you sleep.
