[QUOTE="Jay Barracato, post: 81919, member: 24"] Without trying to put thoughts into Pat's head, I am sure someone with his measurement chops could come up with a measurement protocol that is appropriate for new technology. Then it is fairly straight forward to show the validity of that protocol. I would start by measuring a known box with both the existing protocol and the new protocol followed by the new box with both protocols. I would also start from the null hypothesis that there is no difference between the new technology and a conventional box. If I could establish some difference, that would be the time to start trying to decide what the difference is and whether it is for the better. Science does not come with an instruction manual. But it does come with best practices. A truly new situation will require measurement techniques that are new, but best practices indicate you exhaust the tried and true methods before creating a new technique. You have often said that just because you can take a measurement doesn't mean it is useful. This concept in science/statistics is called validity and is basically "does the measurement protocol/ method of interpretation actually lead to an answer to the question posed?". Since the claims on the Big E webpage seem to indicate something is either wrong or unaccounted for in the basic work of Maxwell and Lorentz ( from my interpretation of their text that somehow one frequency affects another creating a condition where waves no longer interact with standard interference patterns), the first step must be to determine if their is a difference.
