Open Letter to Alexander Parkhomov - Happy birthday

@Alexander Parkhomov: But you are the first person who took Rossi's invention serious and give it a try. Most other scientists are just laughing and don't care about it.
Keep on your great work!

Thank you for all your work!

After digging old stories around LENR I realized the huge importance of replication in science.
This demand great modesty in a way not to introduce one's ego and improve, as usual.

I would propose the creation of a kind of Nobel prize for replications. Maybe a LENR trillionaire could fund that?

I wish that beyond the academic impact this will be good for everybody around. I know it is not unrealistic.

Dear Mr. Parkhomov: as a Chilean I really can't say that I have much or any idea how the general Russian way of seeing things in life is, but I'm sure is remarkably different from the average (if such thing can be said) US citizen, or even from the Europeans. From what I can garner reading literature and online publications, ans also scientific publications, I get that Russians are very pragmatic, and thus can see things in a much objective way than other peoples, while at the same time do not fear speculation and exploration of new ideas both theoretically and experimentally.

On the other hand, I have been interested in the so called "Cold Fusion" since I was 15th years old, in fact, the very announcement of Fleischmann and Pons was in my birthday. It captured my mind then, and later I saw it fade away into the sad story we all know.

Perhaps you don't see it this way, but for most scientists in the "western block" LENR is, unfortunately and in spite of the developments in the last 4 years, still mostly considered as "pseudoscience" and working in this field is largely detrimental for the reputation of the scientist involved, setting him apart. The change of this general attitude towards a more respectfull view of the LENR field has been painstakingly slow. Hence, seeing a prestigious scientist as you taking this research seriously, and publishing these important results, while also sharing them openly, is a very important development, for which most of us are highly grateful. I hope this helps you see why the admiration and gratitude expressed so far. My Best Regards.
