Friedman, posted above, took issue with Lazar and his background. He didn't deny that what Lazar saw wasn't true, but there were holes in Lazar's background.
Friedman was correct in his concerns with Lazar. Lazar was wrong about the periodic table. He doesn't understand the mathematics of flux or fields. He knows nothing about the history of the supposition and discovery of various subatomic particles and claims the opposite of the historical reality. It's not even the fancy claims he makes, since those can easily befuddle people without some scientific background; it's like technobabble in Star Trek. It sounds just plausible enough. He makes some very elementary mistakes, though.
Friedman and others have pointed out major holes in what he has said over the years and specifically where he is dead wrong about the science. I'm not sure how consistent Lazar is in his stories. He may or not be, but that's really not much of a concern. He's done enough appearances over the years I'm sure I could find some whoppers if I looked hard enough. Consistency doesn't mean correct. Nothing of what he has said about science checks out in the least. In fact, I'm not even convinced you could hand him a grade 11 physics final and have him pass it.
