I read this story, and wondered if scientists and engineers are using this kind of equipment to prove our shared EU claims?
While of course all manner of sensors and such have been utilized/invented to measure and record such happenings- are Blue Gene or CRAY supercomputers (for example) used today to muscle through ump-tillion iterations of a rule-based computer model (the rules being the electric law details we know so far)?
I remember Halton Arp used modeling for his redshift work, but that seems distant-
Mathematicians use massaged and assumption-laden models to claim black holes are real. Gullible folks don't question the assumptions of the models- and ignore when sometimes the models plain don't even work.
If our science is correct, it seems a clean path to dismiss their wasting of time (pardon the pun) with phony black-hole spookiness is by displaying a repeatable model demonstration that consistently manifests the same characteristics (reflections) of the electric-action reality we see before our eyes. I hope there's effort in these areas... seems fruitful.
I would enjoy learning where I might seek more on this approach from those familiar to the topic--
