Wow, this is huge. The ripple effect here is going to be massive as there are entire companies founded on this research being true, not to mention research grants and teams working on this exact thing.
The even bigger issue, imo, is how many other researchers have done the same thing and it goes unnoticed?
This is the biggest retraction so far.
Weelll if they base everything on what one person said it's a huge red flag. Science is based on independent verification. And if the company is half serious it would seek corroboration not only of the article, but also of what they do.
If they didn't do due diligence they lasted too long already.
Do some research. It's a huge news story.
