You have not the slightest idea what you're talking about.
You really need to stop making statements about anything, including Rodin's work, that is related to suppressed (therefore it is cutting edge) science and technology, because you haven't researched it.

There are plenty of people who can make much better sense of the wave structure of matter than me. It's not really the kind of thing that can be summed up in a blog post.

Hey, Bob, is your next blog entry going to be about the Wave Structure of Matter (WSM)? I would love to read it if that is what you are working on.
There are a number of things about this I don't get. First we have Rodin making his "inexhaustible energy" claim.

As far as scientific facts go, the Rodin coil will not be proven or disproven by the mainstream, because it is associated with alternative energy, and alternative energy is suppressed and has been suppressed for some time, due to the profit motive and its role in society.
Oh, but Rodin has so many videos on the web and not a single one has a demonstration of the coil which is satisfactory according to physics 101. Are you serious about him being "suppressed" in his own garage? Do you think all this was filmed under duress? Seriously, Mary?
I thought he was talking about the other WSM, this one, that some posters in this thread have alluded to:

The Susskind lectures are a brilliant resource.
That's like the preamble I got on e-mails about pyramid schemes..."I realize there are a lit of pyramid schemes out there, but this isn't one" but then you read it and find out it IS. So it's funny to see the warning about crackpot theories and then find him quoting Darwin and then proving Darwin correct almost as if he doesn't have a clue what Darwin said:
I realise that there are a lot of 'crackpot' theories about truth and reality on the internet, but it is easy to show that the Wave Structure of Matter is the correct solution as it deduces the laws of Nature (the fundamentals of Physics & Philosophy) perfectly (there are no opinions).
So after making this quote we then see the ultimate example of ignorance begetting confidence with extreme irony:
Charles Darwin well understood this extreme 'skepticism' that claims we can never know the truth about things;
"Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge: it is those who know little, not those who know much, who so positively assert that this or that problem will never be solved by science. (Charles Darwin, Introduction to The Descent of Man, 1871)"
By the "end of postmodernism", he's referring to the fact that we couldn't explain everything before, but now with his theory, we can:
once we know reality, as I am convinced we now do with the wave structure of matter in space, then this marks the end of postmodernism
There is a tacit assumption within postmodernism that no theory will ever explain all things.
However, there is no reason for this assumption other than history showed that no theory had yet explained all things (see Thomas Kuhn and Karl Popper).
I guess I should ignore the decision by the US supreme court that science is by definition falsifiable. Now that this one metaphysics expert has removed all the uncertainty from science and made it certain, I suspect all the scientists in the world are out of a job?
The Laws of Nature - The Wave Structure of Matter (WSM) deduces the laws of Nature that have been empirically observed and quantified over the past several centuries. This changes the foundations of science / physics from inductive (uncertain) to deductive (certain).

I haven't seen the Susskind lectures, but somehow, I doubt that's what they say.
That's a logical stance. I looked for any specific claims but on the perhaps 15% of the site I went through so far I haven't found any, just the general claim that he's solved everything with WSM so there's no more uncertainty in science. There is a comment that it's easily explained, but following that comment where I'd expect to find the explanation, there isn't one.

I'm not interested in APRONs unless they start making specific claims regarding observable reality that can be investigated. If it does, then I might check it out. If not then I don't see the point.

Arrogant pile of random opinionated nonsense. I just invented it.
Looks consistent with my definition. I'll accept that.

Gosh darn! I thought that APRON meant Asymptotic Perpetual Resonance Omniscient Network.
I actually searched for that...twice! No wonder I couldn't find anything except the cooking kind, or maybe a lab version or two!

I've just submitted it to Urban Dictionary. Maybe it'll catch on.

Proof of negative isn't possible, but – as Russell's Teapot tells us – it would be nonsensical to assert that it's unreasonable to suggest that the claim is empty. So in practical terms, yes.
If that's all there is (aside from Rodin's demonstration that he doesn't know the difference between true power and apparent power due to phase shift in a coil), then can we say the claims are proven false?
True, I didn't phrase that very well.

So it's not really that much of a stretch to do it with our current technology, the biggest barrier now is that oil costs less than $500 a barrel, this probably won't always be true. The output of the sun is finite therefore the energy isn't technologically inexhaustible, but it so greatly exceeds out current energy needs that whether it's "inexhaustible" night be a moot point. I've seen a claim that the sun radiates more energy in one second than people have used in all time. So we don't even need to capture all the sun's energy, just a tiny fraction to more then meet our needs. It might actually start happening sometime after peak oil occurs when the economics will be more sound, but probably not before.
The concept of the Dyson sphere was ...a system of orbiting structures (which he referred to initially as a shell) designed to intercept and collect all energy produced by the sun.
Feasibility
...design variants of the sphere based on orbiting satellites or solar sails do not require any major theoretical breakthroughs in our basic scientific understanding for their construction.
He certainly does. He's a proper crazy genius, not a fake one. He invented the astrochicken.

Dyson is a bit of a renegade, but unlike Rodin, he knows what the heck he was talking about.
