There is NO doubt in my mind, that in this particular case they are
complete scam artists. My point is that just because somebody claims
something that "breaks the laws of physics", it does NOT prove that they
are scam artists. Yes, in EVERY case I've seen they have been scams, but
that doesn't mean anything.

There is also no doubt in my mind that at least ONE of the "laws of
physics" currently subscribed to by human kind will be "broken" this
century. Quantum mechanics ended up breaking numerous "laws of physics",
causing tons of redefinitions. TTYL
