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"

The fuck did I just read?
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.
Oh! Kryptonite! Good thinking!
UV is energy you can't see...
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.

The author really believes it and has even sued over it.

I think I lost neurons reading that.
Just the weak ones. Collectively, your brain is now stronger.
This pseudo science made the photosynthesis in my arepa produce chemtrail fuel
Someone swallowed a dictionary.
Yeah... Hmm... Oh yeah.
I know some of these words.
serpentinization, lol
From Wikipedia
Serpentinization is a hydration and metamorphic transformation of ferromagnesian minerals, such as olivine and pyroxene, in mafic and ultramafic rock to produce serpentinite.
A lithosphere (from Ancient Greek λίθος (líthos) 'rocky' and σφαίρα (sphaíra) 'sphere') is the rigid, outermost rocky shell of a terrestrial planet or natural satellite. On Earth, it is composed of the crust and the lithospheric mantle, the topmost portion of the upper mantle that behaves elastically on time scales of up to thousands of years or more.
In geophysics, a magnetic anomaly is a local variation in the Earth's magnetic field resulting from variations in the chemistry or magnetism of the rocks. Mapping of variation over an area is valuable in detecting structures obscured by overlying material.
Proterozoic rocks have been identified on all the continents and often constitute important sources of metallic ores, notably of iron, gold, copper, uranium, and nickel.
Over the last 200 years, the magnetic field has lost around 9% of its strength on a global average. A large region of reduced magnetic intensity has developed between Africa and South America and is known as the South Atlantic Anomaly.
Nono a buzz cut will generally produce loose biogenic material.
Apologies, after doing more "research" you are correct. Turn out clipping your finger nails also produces loose biogenic material.

Okay, but now I really want to read the rest of the paper to see what R'lyehian incantations it contains.

Here the Research Gate link if you want to check out the full extent of this XD http://dx.doi.org/10.13140/RG.2.2.30887.09128
*blinks*
Was there a competition for longest paper title that I missed?
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.
