A Korean superconductivity academic body invalidated the research results from a team of Korean researchers claiming to have developed a room-temperature superconductor in its preliminary assessment.
Basically, repeat the experiment under a wide range of conditions, and show that the conditions for success, if any, are far beyond the original claim. I always loved the ‘mythbusters’ approach: if one bible can’t stop a bullet, how about two bibles? ten? where is the cutoff between true and false?
How do I go about disproving something then?
It’s extremely hard to disprove things in general as opposed to proving them, unless you’re dealing with math or logic.
