I don't think that the scientists mentioned by Alan "believe Rossi", because he is clearly not believable. At most they believe in the Ecat. It's very different.
The believing on the Ecat is based on the declarations of scientists and experts who over the past ten years have publicly stated that for various Rossi's devices - which they personally tested or measured - energy-out were greater than energy-in. These are the direct witnesses of these alleged results, and they are the only source of credibility for the Ecat. These scientists and experts are very few, just some DoD/LENR experts in USA and some academics in Europe. All the other scientists, who might sincerely believe in the Ecat, actually believe – it would be better to say "want to believe" - in the reliability of their colleagues, the direct witnesses. This is a chain of trust, starting from the declarations of very few experts and academics. But we know that these same people has misrepresented the experimental results of the Ecat tests, therefore any belief in the Ecat capability to generate excess heat is deprived of any credibility since its very origin.
Speaking of the Ecat, there is nothing and no one to believe in.
Shane,
When “They personally measured and tested”, was Rossi in attendance?
I wasn’t there so I don’t know, but experiences and observations reviewing his last 7 years of no. Scientific BS, lead me to question your statement.
IF, they were allowed to do it then, why are they not allowed to do it now?
sorry amigo, Rossi, Ecat, quark etc are simply smoke and mirrors for another con.
