UnarXived Superconductivity

Papers, Comments and Discussion that arXiv doesn't want to post.

Introduction

ArXiv has a rigid high-handed moderation policy on what can be posted and not posted, akin to censorship. I started this website as a channel for physicists to discuss and post information on superconductivity topics that arXiv does not allow. Please share the link with colleagues that you think may be interested.

This was prompted by my negative experiences with arXiv submissions over the past 6 years, my papers questioning the accepted conventional theory of superconductivity were consistently put on hold for days or weeks before posting. It became much worse starting last year when I started questioning the veracity of experimental data published that purportedly showed that a carbonaceous sulfur hydride under pressure is a room temperature superconductor. This resulted in my being banned from posting anything on arXiv for the next 6 months. A recent news article on this topic can be found in SCIENCE NEWS.

I invite comments, postings and discussion on topics related to arXiv’s censorship of scientific information and superconductivity and related topics that arXiv does not allow to post.
