Comment on 'Phase transition temperatures of 405-725 K in superfluid ultra-dense hydrogen clusters on metal surfaces' [AIP Advances 6, 045111 (2016)]

TL;DR

This paper critically comments on a previous publication, disputing its extraordinary claims about superfluid ultra-dense hydrogen clusters on metal surfaces, and emphasizes the lack of supporting evidence for those claims.

Contribution

It provides a scientific critique of claims made in a prior study, clarifying the need for evidence in extraordinary scientific assertions.

Findings

The claims in the original paper lack supporting experimental evidence.

The article emphasizes the importance of corroborating extraordinary claims with solid data.

It highlights the necessity of aligning new claims with established scientific facts.

Abstract

The article in \cite{HolmlidAIPA2016} has recently come to our attention. It makes a number of extraordinary claims that each contradict well established facts in several fields, ranging from atomic and molecular physics to superconductivity and superfluidity, with practically no supporting evidence. We think it worthwhile to rectify the literature with this comment.
