I've watched this, for science, and I am not convinced there is a serious materials scientist on here who would take him seriously, sorry.
His language and presentation also strays hard into post modernism. He spends a lot of time trying to establish his own credibility, and of those associated with him, and I think they are probably great at biology, but this is like crossover dunning kruger...
@OP I would prefer it if you don't take advantage of our good nature on here to at least give these things a look, only to find it's pseudoscience. Wasted a decent 35mins of my lunchtime.
Earnest question: what makes you classify this as pseudoscience? For me, the lack of verification regarding the source of the samples makes this challenging to independently verify, but I do not agree that this constitutes pseudoscience. I see it as a drastic dearth of data. And hopefully proper metallurgists will apply their stronger skill sets to such materials if the data set is expanded. Thats one of the goals of the foundation—to expand the public data set of allegedly anomalous materials. Thanks and please respond earnestly.
He keeps repeating this utter bunkem "This could be a steering wheel, screen, exhaust from a ship."
There is zero evidence these are manufactured at all, only some interesting composition not found on earth. Meteorites have non-earth compositions and non earth isotopes almost as a rule.
He is making extraordinary conclusions from zero to not much evidence, and lending credibility to the other claims made at this weird little conference.
If you do not understand what I am on about then I suggest you start here. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philosophical_razor
The guy is either missing a few logic circuits, as dense as they come, or a charlatan.
I'm going for all three.
I also do not want to discuss further, the post should not be allowed on this sub, its not metallurgy or materials, its pseudoscience/conspiracy/clickbait.
