Energy extraction?
I do not think this belongs. First, MDPI is ... not a publisher of high repute. Even for speculative claims, we should not compromise our sourcing standards. Indeed, in some ways we have to ratchet our standards higher, in that we must take care not to promote speculations that aren't taken at least a little seriously already.
Moreover, as WP:PATENTS observes, patent offices do not pass judgment on whether the ideas offered in the patent are scientifically accurate.
For an article on a scientific topic, that rules them out as reliable sources. We're talking quantum field theory here, not the year of the invention of the new-and-improved slicer, dicer and peeler.
And the quantum vacuum thruster is outright WP:FRINGE. XOR'easter (talk) 21:48, 18 January 2021 (UTC)
- I reverted the addition. Obvious pseudoscience is obvious. Does anyone think that it is worthwhile taking Tedweverka (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) at WP:ANI? Some of their edits regarding Induced demand and Historicity of Jesus seem rather dodgy. --Guy Macon (talk) 03:53, 19 January 2021 (UTC)
