The scary thing is that this managed to get published in the first place.
And it is sad that they had it withdrawn. I would love to see that real science rips this idea to shreds.
In layperson's terms: Standing in a certain spot while holding an iron bar will stop COVID from reproducing.
So long as that spot is 6 feet away from everyone else, they might be on to something. More research is required.
If anyone breaks your social distancing, smack 'em with the iron bar
magnetoborne virion transmission prevention
Magic rocks!
There's some rocks I'm sure that can be used to kill covid.
I recall Fearless Leader saying that covid can definitely be defeated if we can expose our insides to UV light. That's a hot rock, right?
I'm talking about the rocks that radiate an energy you can't see.
UV is energy you can't see...
Oh! Kryptonite! Good thinking!
Any rock can kill Covid if you get them hot enough.
Some rocks are naturally 'hot'.
is that spot inside an active volcano?
What is this Star Trek incantation shit
I'm a little bit stoned and it took me like 2 solid minutes and several rereads to figure out what the fuck this was, and I still think it's just buzzword salad
I'm not stoned and same.
They forgot to include the crucial step where you reverse the polarity of the neutron flow
Oh come on that's just nonsense. Let's stick to real science here please.
All you need to do is make sure that the area has been sweeped by chronotron particles filtered through a multiphasic tachyon diffractor.
That made my head spin. Sorry about the pun - guilty as charged.
You need a deflector dish to do that.
I think I lost neurons reading that.
Just the weak ones. Collectively, your brain is now stronger.
The author really believes it and has even sued over it.

The link broke.
Literally into two peices
There's something in this comment chain
Edit: autocorrect fixed the original typo, theory confirmed
Eh?
better
This pseudo science made the photosynthesis in my arepa produce chemtrail fuel
Yeah... Hmm... Oh yeah.
I know some of these words.
There is no
warpandemic in Ba Sing SeOk, small deviation, was it ever "Ba Sing Sah' instead of "Ba Sing Se"? Cause everybody that I know (and who knows ATLB) tells me it was always "Ba Sing Se", but I almost swear that it was "Ba Sing Sah"...I can hear her saying "Bah Sing Sah"...have I been brainwashed?
Nah bro it was always Ba Sing Se. You're on some weird Mandela effect, must be in the wrong timeline.
Basingse is the pinyin transliteration of the simplified Chinese characters 永固城. 城 is se. 永固城 means Great Impenetrable City. Sah, I don't think, is a pinyin transliteration.
永固城 pinyin is not Ba Sing Se, it's Yong Gu Cheng. I genuinely have no idea where that coming from.
Oh wow! That's messed up. I grabbed the characters from the wiki and just assumed it was the pinyin for those characters. Why would they make it up? All of those phonomes are pinyin. Couldn't they just use some other characters like 巴辛塞.
Right? 永固城 doesn't sounds like a good name at all. But then you can just add both up and call it 永固城巴辛塞, basically mean Ba Sing Se the Impregnable City
I've never heard "Ba Sing Sah" and I watched it when it aired, and more recently
The fuck did I just read?
serpentinization, lol

I also speak Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serpentinite
:-D
Wikipedia the next part of that title, because broken down bit by bit, shit still doesn't make sense.
I'm not sure the link between geology and virology will come clear, but IANAGeologist, nor Virologist.
I just tried to break it down in my comment chain. Absolute bat shit.
So, snake oil

In the Chinese language, Lóng 龍 is dragon. Di Long, literally earth dragon is what we call earth worms. So yes, dragons exist, depending on one's definition of the term, naturally.
I think olms should be dragons.
Ropefish i choose you
Agreed. Can we genemod them for fire, or would that be silly and impetuous?
I believe they should blow bubbles like any good water dragon.
*blinks*
Academia, here I come!
That sudy screams confirmation bias.
This is like "Is this the best barber in the world of Italian/Irish heritage with scorleosis and balding hairline named Joseph?" .... The answer is always: "Probably, yes"
Okay, but now I really want to read the rest of the paper to see what R'lyehian incantations it contains.
Tekeli-li!
Here the Research Gate link if you want to check out the full extent of this XD

Wut?
Was there a competition for longest paper title that I missed?
