I don't know anything about science but it sounds like from your comment that the best thing about this claim is that it's not smoke and mirrors. It either works or it doesn't and there are a set of instructions that shows how to do it.

Yup.

It either works or it doesn't. Unlike many other claims, this one doesn't require anything rare or super hard to do. The furnace, tubes, materials, could be bought for around $10k.

I'm only a hobbyist scientist. When I saw the pre-print my first thought was "if this works, why the f- haven't we noticed before!? Someone should have done this accidentally freshman year!"

The good news is we shouldn't have to wait long.

The bad news is that we have to wait at all.

Very different than the six years it took before the mathematics community found a flaw in Mochizuki‘a abc conjecture proof.
