allo EE, you posted -->When you refer to "something which cannot be explained," the key word there is "something." It assumes that there is, in fact, "something" to explain.

Simple, explain to me something in the Universe that can actually be explained. Shall we start with EE's simple electrical factor ,"what really 'is' electricity"? Do we really know, or do we just simply have a convenient theory that can actually be used repeatably with confidence to construct things despite probably being completely incorrect I prefer the Holistic Universe explaination.

First, I don't know what the Holistic Universe explanation is, and I'm not sure I want to ask! 8)
Second, you are correct about not knowing what electricity really is. They don't even know what causes it.
That's not so bad, but did you know that they don't even know what makes capacitors work? Look it up sometime! There are "theories," but they won't even state that they're "pretty sure"!
They haven't got it "all wrong," but pretty nearly. All of Science, in fact, is that way.
But, there
is the one thing that they've got going for them, and that is, as you said, "repeatability."
And they've got some definitions that they all agree on. So they can at lease talk about it. And think about it. Thats a good first step,
if they continue researching in a
Scientific manner.
-----
The problem, as all this relates to the LRLs, is that---
1. Nobody wants to agree to any definitions (part of which are posted in the "Maybe We Can Agree" topic).
2. The LRL promoters continually attempt to drift off into definitions to which nobody in Science agrees.
3. The LRL devices, themselves, do not match up with any known Scientific definitions of workability.
4. The LRL devices have never been reasonably proven to actually work.
5. Particularly in light of #3, it becomes imperative that #4 be overcome, by passing a test like Carl's.
6. Their refusal to even try #5, combined with the nonsense of #3, and the attitude of the LRL promoters, plus all the red flags of their exact match-up with the entire list of
Predictable Patterns of Con Artists, totally locks-up the evidence that they are fraudulent.
7. If the things really did function as advertised, there would be absolutely no good reason why someone wouldn't have already won Carl's $25K. Period. That just isn't even debatable anymore.
It's just as simple as that.
