The Playground

Quote from magicsound

Heisenberg, Ohm and Schrodinger are in a car. They get pulled over.

Heisenberg is driving, and the cop asks him, “Do you know how fast you were going?”

“No, but I know exactly where I am,” Heisenberg replies.

The cop says, “You were doing 55 in a 35.”

Heisenberg throws up his hands and shouts, “Great! Now I’m lost!”

The cop thinks this is suspicious and orders him to pop open the trunk. He checks it out and says, “Do you know you have a dead cat back here?”

“We do now, a$$hole!” shouts Schrodinger, getting belligerent.

The cop moves to arrest them. Ohm resists.

Meanwhile Bose, Einstein, Fermi, and Dirac drove by the scene. They were arguing about whether they could occupy the same car seats. Of course Fermi and Dirac said no, and they had the statistics to prove it. Bose and Einstein promptly condensed and sat on their laps. A good time was had by all as they danced the Bosenova.

Quote from axil

Coming soon, Rossi will demo the 3kW ecat using a space heater most likely without the steel box. This unit is likely to exclude shielding and the steel box.

Quote from PhysicsForDummies

No he won't. Rossi couldn't demonstrate powering a small LED beyond an amount seemingly a few miliwatts (or maybe just a reflection from an external light source?). A heater would have been no Brainer IF his ecat worked. The fact that he hasn't already demonstrated a heater means he is still trying to figure out how to fake heat.

Rossi is no longer planning the heater demo. Hey Axil, what do you think about being wrong again?

Rossi: Enough of Demonstrations, Time to Focus on Manufacturing and Distribution [UPDATED] –

Looking around they realised Schrodinger had vanished. ;"Perhaps he's gone to feed his cat?' Einstein suggested, but Heisenberg said. " No, he's probably working on his long-standing Large Hardon Collider project with Emmy Noether.

LOL.

He has been at the “no more demos” and he has “begun production” and the “Customers will decide” stage of the performance many times in the past decade.

Dear Mr. V. Godbole:

Answer to both comments of yours:

1- I do not make more public tests because we already made them. I have to work hardly on the industrial production and I have no more time for demos. Besides, as I already explained, the tests fro now on will be made by the Customers.

2- The composition of our charge is confidential, as well as the operational mechanism.

Warm regards,

A.R.

new update, I found someone that can help me, so disregard the request below,

I need to get a lead time for a quartz tube and another item from a company named MTI Corporation but they won't give it to me because I only have a gmail email address. They say I have to email them from verifiable company email address. In other words, I can't use protonmail, yahoo or hotmail type email addresses.

Can someone with a company email address do this for me? Contact me privately on here using the "conversations" button in the top right corner at j9381

thanks

Happy Halloween..

Quote from Edo

"Regarding future developments of E-Cat technology, E-Cat electricity generator cells in sizes of 10 and 100 watts are available for pre-order through the Leonardo Corporation website https://ecatthenewfire.com. There is no cost to place a pre-order, nor is there an obligation to pay anything in the future. Mass production of E-Cat cells will only begin when 1 million 100 W units (or the equivalent) have been reached."

Really, again the same plot?!?!

Yep, and don't forget the $$$ - a 100W ecat will set you back $250 so to start production of a million units he only wants $250 million this time.

Tonight's Halloween viewing is sorted...

It's that time again...

Quote from JedRothwell

Ed Storms has often bemoaned the state of this field. He thinks people are ignoring observations, the theories have no basis in fact, the field is chaotic. It is bad science. He sometimes goes on to say the situation is hopeless and these problems cannot be fixed. A quote from him:

". . . unless the beliefs about how cold fusion works change, it will never be applied. We all need to take a different approach to both problems. . . . People do not even know how to ask the right questions . . . So, I can only watch as the bus goes over the cliff."

I think he is right about the bad science, because there has been little progress. However, bad science is normal. History shows it is expected. History also shows that he is wrong when he says the problem cannot be fixed and he can only watch as the bus goes over the cliff. He and other researchers could do much more.

There are countless examples of nascent discoveries in science and technology that began with bad science: chaos, misunderstandings, misplaced theory. This happens so often I think it must be the norm. I will describe eight examples, and then show how these problems were solved, and how we could solve them in cold fusion.

1. The history of incandescent lights from Moses Farmer in the 1850s up to Edison in 1879 is full of errors. Even in the last years. The patents Edison filed before the last one were unworkable kludges. Even after he got lights and generators to work, the first installations were a disaster. He installed lights in his own house to demonstrate to J.P. Morgan and other investors. They set the curtains on fire. Then he installed a system in the library at J.P. Morgan’s mansion. It set the library on fire and almost burned down the mansion.

2. From 1900 to 1952 the biochemical basis of genetics was completely misunderstood. The theories were misguided nonsense. I described this on page 12 and 13 of this paper:

https://lenr-canr.org/acrobat/RothwellJlessonsfro.pdf

See the delightful quote from Watson on p. 13.

3. For decades people thought that stomach ulcers were caused by nervous tension or psychological problems of patients. It turned out they were caused by H. pylori bacteria.

4. From 1901 to 1948 people had no idea how semiconductors worked. Diode rectifiers often failed because they were not understood. In 1931, Wolfgang Pauli famously said: “I don’t like this solid state physics . . . though I initiated it . . . One shouldn’t work with semiconductors, that is a filthy mess; who knows whether they really exist.” (https://lenr-canr.org/acrobat/RothwellJtransistor.pdf)

5. Segré described the discovery of fission by Hahn and Meitner: “Their early papers are a mixture of error and truth as complicated as the mixture of fission products resulting from the bombardments. Such confusion was to remain for a long time a characteristic of much of the work on uranium.” (Quoted in Fire from Ice)

6. In technology, microcomputer operating systems and languages were an unholy mess from 1975 to around 1985. When IBM was developing the PC, they looked for an off-the-shelf operating system and languages. They ended up buying PC-DOS from Microsoft. Bill Gates is a superb programmer, but that operating system was terrible! It was not as if better operating systems were unavailable, or you could not use one on a PC. IBM considered buying the Data General Nova operating system and languages. I was using Nova software back then. It was a thing of beauty. It could have been ported to the PC without much difficulty. Microsoft Windows did not achieve Nova levels of reliability and good features until around 1995. It is an accident of history that PC users had to endure ten years of system crashes, unreliable, slow multitasking and other problems. Local networks for PCs still don’t work right, 40 years after they were introduced!

Let me jump to the present day and describe some errors in contemporary science --

7. The placebo effect does not exist. It is an amateur mistake in statistics. See the NEJM for details: https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJM200105243442106

To summarize briefly, many patients get better without seeing a doctor, and without any medication or treatment, real or placebo. No doctor, no pill. That is a completely null control test. Compare that control to the effects of a placebo and you see that they are statistically the same. The placebo does nothing. The people who proposed the placebo effect forgot to compare it to this complete null.

It has been proposed that the placebo effect works because of psychological effects such as patients feeling increased optimism from visiting a doctor. If that were true, the complete null with no visit would have less efficacy than the placebo.

You can trigger the same result by feeding the placebo pill to a sick lab rat. Or not feeding it. The pill has nothing to do with it. The rat does not get better because it has confidence in the doctor. It gets better because, as Benjamin Franklin put it, “nature cures and the doctor sends a bill.”

The fact that placebos do not exist is no secret. This NEJM paper was published in 2001, but experts have long known that placebos are based on mistaken statistics. This has been in plain sight the whole time, like the problems with Microsoft Windows. Modern placebo theory based on statistics emerged around 1950 as I recall. My mother and other expert statisticians saw it was wrong. They often said so. She told me this in the 1960s.

8. In many scientific papers about COVID, the statistics and data science is garbage. Many of the assertions reported in the mass media were also nonsense. See: https://www.covid-datascience.com/

Okay so how were these other breakthroughs fixed? How did genetics, semiconductors, and even Microsoft Windows finally get on the right track? And how can Ed and other researchers keep the bus from going over the cliff? I think history provides clear answers. Simple answers.

Genetics and semiconductors finally worked because ambitious young scientists began working on them. As I have said many times, 90% of research fails, so you must have many people working independently, each with their own ideas. You have to give young people a suitcase full of money and then get out of their way. Let them do whatever they want! Do not let old scientists tell young scientists what to do.

Microsoft Windows finally began to work because Apple Computer put the fear of God into Microsoft. In other words, you must have free market competition. A free-for-all with no one in charge. Put the DOE in charge of cold fusion and it will never succeed. No single person or corporation should decide how much money is allocated or who gets it. It would be best if a thousand different organizations decided that for themselves. There is an ocean capital looking for a home these days. Billions of dollars. We could have a thousand different projects.

What can Ed and the other researchers do? Tell the world. Use 21st century media such as YouTube. In the past when you could only communicate using scientific journals, you could only reach a few hundred scientists. Now you can reach a million people, even with some subject that you might think is obscure and that no one would be interested in, such as how to renovate Japanese houses (https://www.youtube.com/@TokyoLlama).

If you reach a million people, probably all but a few hundred will be of no use to you. Most will not be scientists. Even if you reach a thousand scientists who would like to replicate, most of them will not have funding. But you only need to reach a few hundred people who have the skill and the funding. Actually, you only need to reach one person, if you are lucky. This is a numbers game. The more people you tell about cold fusion, the more chances there are that some skilled person will find a way to make cold fusion work. There is absolutely no way you could tell in advance where that person might be. That person probably does not know that cold fusion exists. You must tell him. That is what I hope to accomplish with the video I am trying to make. It will cost me $12,000 to $20,000. If I succeed it will be money well spent. I am willing to risk that. I hope I get enough cooperation from researchers to do this.

You are right that there is chaos in our heads, and therefore in our theories. You have given only 8 examples. There are many more and the most fundamental, along with the problem of cold nuclear fusion, are the fundamental incompatibility of quantum mechanics and the theory of relativity, the problems of "dark matter" and "dark energy", the problem of the "Big Bang", the causes and problem of quantization of gravity, the problem of neutrinos and others. These problems and your 8 examples indicate that the modern scientific paradigm has exhausted itself. The path of dividing (analyzing) Nature into different entities (atoms, particles, bodies, strings, different fields, etc.) has exhausted itself. The philosophical and metaphysical path has always been used to get out of chaos and scientific dead ends. We must take the path of unification (synthesis): Nature (our World) is One single eternal infinite interconnected ever-moving continuous Entity. It is Everything. In the end, at the fundamental level, in scientific knowledge we should be interested only in the movement-change of our World. But to know how our World moves-changes is the task of Science. On this path of scientific knowledge we will inevitably come to the conclusion that the MOVEMENT of our World is absolute and NON-MECHANICAL! Only on this path can we solve the problem of cold nuclear fusion as a new carbon-free energy source.

Finally as Tarasenko you hammers your same.......xxx believing that all the world will take attention of you... Don't try to leave now again one more of citations you are so relevant to copy paste from others.

You should dissapear as him at a while..

Fool is too pejorative of a term. Let's put it more scientically. Aleksandr is in dire need of psychological evaluation. However as with most of these ailments, the patient is not aware of their affliction, and may even think they just have higher powers.

Why do you always draw comparisons of yourself to famous brilliant people. Do you think you are one of them? What have you accomplished, hopefully from other people's perspectives, that makes you feel this way about yourself? Has anyone shared your high opinion of yourself? Just curious.

Unfortunatetelly for this country but something very strange appeared in Kazakstan.. Sometimes and history highlighted well that that general pbs came from ground pollution as about lead ( even in north of france where i'm living) now i'm not well aware about what could have polluted their ground... A special strange oil released by an UFO engine ??
