contradicts established science— The claim itself is physically incoherent or contradicted by replication; the underlying hardware may be ordinary electronics.
The most extraordinary, least-scrutinised case: plant 'biological microwaves' claimed to drive adult tooth and hair regrowth. The claim contradicts developmental biology; there is zero peer-reviewed footprint — which is itself the finding.
Zero PubMed footprint; the 1982 Soviet 'assessment' was an internal committee, not peer review. Low-confidence grey sourcing — the absence of footprint is itself the finding.
