If this were a real discovery, why wouldn't it be published in a peer reviewed journal of some kind?

Pretty pre-eminent organizations with their names on this though - Hanno Essén, (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanno_Ess%C3%A9n) Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden, which, according to Wikipedia, "KTH is one of the leading technical universities in Europe [and highly respected worldwide, especially in the domains of technology and natural sciences."

That guy is a bit of a black sheep at KTH.
Care to elaborate? This whole review only has credibility because of the credible institutuons involved. If the researchers have a history of scientific misconduct then it changes a lot.
look at it like this if you have somthing that will take trillions of dollars from corparations than you are a big target.
