Warning: a new volume of fluid oxygen at high pressure that is 50% different from the established value is up for debate

• When submitted to the journal Science with the suggestion that these diffraction results be taken as seriously as the shock wave results, because the new results disagree with the dynamic techniques, 2 out of 3 reviewers believed this to be dangerous nonsense, from which the community deserves protection.
