Closer than what, the Virgo Supercluster of galaxies?

True, it's not published in any respectable science journal, but the
bozo did invite newspaper reporters to publish it and 2 local TV 
stations. And everybody knows if it's on TV it must be true.

The article (http://www.physorg.com/news131101595.html)

mentions "esteemed Physics Professor Yoshiaki Arata of Osaka
University in Japan". I've never heard of him and know nothing
about him except that he knows how to type.

On January 29 2007 I wrote:

"The pattern is always the same, every few months somebody 
few have heard of claims to have detected excess heat, a few
people even more obscure repeat the experiment and say they
see it too; but when people you actually have head of try it
they see nothing."

And now it is time for Joe Blow the truck driver to repeat the 
results with remarkable ease and report the results in Spoon
Bending Digest while the boiling water IQ people at CERN fail
to find a damn thing.

Crap like this and Bigfoot and flying saucers and ESP never
dies, it doesn't even fade away, just gets more and more ridiculous.
