in science, if you make a prediction from a hypothesis, conduct a test, and what you predicted is borne out, that's not nothing; for example, if you look at historical records and hypothesize a reappearance of, I dunno, let's call it Halley's comet, and decades later Halley's comet reappears, why... they might name the comet after you!
Charts are for asking questions, not answering them. My life goes so much better when I remember that (or importantly, when I can find the right set of words to convince all the other decision makers that’s true).
An experiment gets you a little money and attention to try it a few more times. A few successful runs in different lab conditions should let you get a little money to start systematizing your experiment, and that should get you money and attention from industry, manufacturing.
That has always been an 8 year process at the best of times (most things take ten). Seems like a lot of people don’t have that sort of patience anymore, and they try to make things go from lab to shopping cart in three years or they endlessly loop on generating news articles (aka bullshit).
