Found this it has to be a hoax.

seems legit :?

In his book Il Grande Grido: Ethical Probe on Einstein's Followers in the U.S.A, Santilli claims that in many institutions there is an effective conspiracy to suppress or not investigate novel theories which may conflict with established scientific theories, such as Einstein's theory of relativity. Institutions receive funding and have established entire departments dedicated to long established theories, and so he argues that these same institutions are ill equipped to challenge their own scientific paradigms with new theories. Santilli claimed that a number of scientists, including Nobel Laureates Sheldon Glashow and Steven Weinberg, conspired to stop him from conducting research which might have led to the inapplicability of part of Einstein's theory of relativity while he was at Harvard. He has complained that papers he has submitted to peer-reviewed American Physical Society journals were rejected because they were controlled by a group of Jewish physicists led by Steven Weinberg.

I feel like instead of a standard telescope with a concave lens instead of convex, there should be a sphere; The inner face of the sphere should have the camera sensors covering the entire surface expect for a hole where the concave lens sits. Like an eye.

Seems like it is part of some kind of investor scam scheme, at least that was my impression while browsing the parent website.

Also, for all the fancy writing in the paper, as far as I can tell, the only "evidence" there is for whatever he is implying, is essentially poorly taken photos as far as I can tell.

Like really, those photos show essentially nothing?

Lol. This is either a hoax or an attempt at humor. It is at least very creative, and I admit that some of the stories that got me interested in science to begin with I learned to be fake later. So, silly stuff like this has its place.

I have to critique at least this one excerpt from the Fig.2 caption:

The first view depicts the structure of all existing, refractive, Galileo telescopes whose primary lens must be “convex” due to the positive index of refraction of matter-light. The second view depicts the structure of the novel, refractive, Santilli telescopes whose primary lens must be “concave” under the prediction that antimatter-light has a negative index of refraction

1. Should be "Galilean". Already we can tell this person is not an expert in astronomy.
2. refractive index is a property of matter, not light.
3. What the hell is "matter-light"?!
4. There is no such thing as "antimatter-light". At least, a photon is its own antiparticle, so there is no difference between light and "antilight" in how they interact with optics.
5. Negative-index materials don't exist yet, so for all practical purposes, a concave lens does not focus light, as shown in the figure.
