So how many quatloos are you willing to bet on that?
Well, since I've probably gathered the most of anyone here so far, I'm willing to put at least half of them down on the table, assuming you have that many to match.

Sorry, I'm quatloo-less...not a quatloo to my name...
Political opposition to LENR caused the destruction of many people's careers, savage attacks in the mainstream press, firing, threats of deportation, sabotage of experiments, and publishing of fraudulent data by MIT and others. This is not "tempest in a teapot." It is the worse scandal in the history of academic science.
All proposals were turned down immediately. The reputations of anyone making a proposal was trashed, and Robert Park and others tried to fire anyone who made a proposal. See:
and here I thought that MIT offered a class on cold fusion taught by Peter Hagelstein?

No, Hagelstein is an MIT professor, yes. As such he has access to MIT facilities for his use, at least sometimes. But I don't recall if he actually used MIT facilities recently or a nearby hotel/conf center setup. In any case, the CF course is not an MIT course.
Right. We looked into this in great detail a couple of years ago. This is part of a set of courses of extremely varied nature, none of which are endorsed, approved or given any college credit whatever by MIT. As a courtesy to professors, they can list their summer courses on the MIT site and mention that they are at MIT if they use MIT facilities but they have nothing officially to do with the university. They are solely and entirely the responsibility of the professor giving the course.
Having said that, I am sure if someone presented a credible case for continuing LENR research at MIT, it would probably be done objectively and well. And without bias.
When You inspect, how much Bologna and Uppsala had to to with Rossi, You for sure will recognize, that this kind of fakenews is almost standard, when it comes to scam like free energy / lenr / levitation / anti gravity.

... thats true, but those fakenews almost never have a valid scientific background and even if some users claim that Rossi has fooled the Professors, I have not read one single statement by these scientists that they withdraw their reports, or any criticism about Rossi.
If you're in on the gig, you will not renig.

That assumes there is a gig of course. I would be very careful about implying anything that might under certain circumstances be described as a conspiracy.
In the world of Dewey filled with Planets and gigs being very careful is not part of the agenda
I've seen the emails Alan - its a gig alright.
Try and stay credible - cool stuff is coming and you still have time to neutralize your bias.
TTM - betting money and time on projects that can change the status quo requires a different view of things and you're right - careful has a different meaning.

betting with guts has played out quite nicely to date hasn't it?
If I was you I would try expertice to place my bets
TTM - Blindly stated, I'd much rather have my bets than yours any day past, present and / or future. In addition, I don't see how you are going to graduate from the funny pages at this pace but wish you the best nonetheless.
QuoteI have not read one single statement by these scientists that they withdraw their reports, or any criticism about Rossi.
What is more to the point is that none of them ever engaged in any sort of discussion or debate in defense of their incorrect methodology, gullibility, and unbelievable results.
QuoteTry and stay credible - cool stuff is coming and you still have time to neutralize your bias
Or perhaps you are being as gullible about a novel scam or error as you were about Rossi. I hope you're right. I'd love to see some cool stuff rather than all the low level results and scams we've seen so far in LENR. But I have serious doubts about it and your record and that of Darden and Vaughn is not precisely reassuring.
QuoteWe bet with time / money / guts while you continue to play and dabble with......... words.
If it's really your money (Dewey, Darden, Vaughn and other "principals") I am delighted you are trying to get better answers. If you are risking investor funds and not telling them the truth about the EXTREMELY speculative nature of the work (as I am pretty sure Woodford was doing when they cut off debate about Rossi and IH in their forum), then not so much. And in the cases of Rossi and Defkalion, I hate to see good money going to OBVIOUS unpleasant scammers.
MY - I can't help you with your present grasp of things. I can share that we would not be staying in the hunt with WIF if we all did not think there was a reasonable chance at success. We are comfortable operating under clearly defined worse case risk factors.
Those who chose to participate after reading the risk factors are motivated by the prospect of changing the status quo with high impact / high return (and the associated chance of a total loss). History is replete with losses and professional confidence men / women who operate on the frontier with enough skill to stay "profitable" & keep going. We have a shot at the last laugh which may include a stop at the bank along the way. All investors are fully informed - truth is our currency.

That's nice. I hope you tell them more than you tell us.

Hey Dewey if you need some advert to convince the bank of your plans...
I went through the lengthy and exhausting process of designing you one. For free!
P.S.: I think that also solves the question who should play you in any upcoming movie
Alan - quatloos don't buy you into the information flow. Hope that one is easy enough for you to understand.
