Hadn't heard about this, but that's really sad. Also, always weird vibes when high profilish scientists are murdered. It can easily be just an unfortunate case of wrong place and wrong time, but its a strange coincidence.
Hard not to think of the cold fusion scientist who was really just in the wrong place at the wrong time apparently. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eugene_Mallove
Brookline, where he lived and was shot, is very safe relative to the surrounding city and the state as a whole, which are already the safest in the country. It is definitely a really strange shooting (albeit, but necessarily some crazy conspiracy--but I can't imagine this isn't targeted).
Mallove was a bullshit artist.
It's Not Cold Fusion... But It's Something An experiment that earned Stanley Pons and Martin Fleischmann widespread ridicule in 1989 wasn't necessarily bogus
I'm not sure it's really fair to classify Mallove as a bullshit artist.
A bullshit artist would be somebody funded by the oil and gas industry in 2025 who commissioned debunked climate science reports, attempts to close the Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations, and avoids testifying before Congress.
With about two daily mass shootings in the US, a single kill of a relatively low-profile person does not get any media attention.
Sadly true, but considering this man might have had some very valuable testimony to provide regarding a recent Congressional hearing, this one really, really, really deserves much closer attention.
I have a hard time believing it was "wrong place, wrong time" when they broke into his house to murder him.
You're not going to believe this but Trump just got into the nuclear fusion business.
