If the mind of Nobelist Julian Schwinger, obviously well versed in basic physical chemistry, was curious enough and convinced enough by the early evidence to suppose an alternate explanation for the Pons-Fleischmann Effect than the one you assume, do you suppose you might reconsider your reflexive response? The evidence has grown much stronger since Schwinger’s comments.

So you are an experimentalist who dismisses experimental evidence with apparently non-applicable theory. No one I’ve seen who argues theory in cold fusion is unaware of the obvious Coulomb barrier problem. This presupposes a plasma environment, which is not observed in these experiments. The proof is not in the theoretical explanation. It is in the evidence. If the evidence agrees with theory, great! If not, then the evidence or its interpretation might be wrong, but so might the theory! The lack of a viable theory does not invalidate a contradictory valid observation. It is characteristic of the pathological skeptic to avoid examining evidence and resort to ad hominem or worse. At least you admit that you do not know of what you write.

Do you want to find yourself in the position of the abandoned Japanese soldier left on some remote south sea island long after the war has ended, lurking in the jungle, unaware that your side has surrendered? You neglected to mention that ACS just published their ‘Cold Fusion Sourcebook’. Were you unaware?

Do yourself a favor and examine the data.

Then again, I’m confrontational like that.

You might not have noticed, but this autoradiograph photo done by folks over at BARC in India circa 1990 (almost twenty years ago) was a pretty darned good photoshop fake huh? Even made with D2O gas too.

Too bad photoshop didn’t even exist back then. Huh?

Can theorists take a hint? This stuff is ‘REAL’ and guess what ?? ..YOUR THEORIES CAN’T EXPLAIN IT. How’s that for a wake up call to something going on at ‘low energy’?
