You can use the video above: Titanium sheet vs. OHMASA gas to time the production of holes using the .1 second frame rate. Stop timing after the pinhole first appears
Well, it still looks like burning to me. Notice the way the 'spot' brightens when the torch is moved closer so that uncombusted gas (which is 1/3 pure oxygen) hits the already yellow-hot titanium surface. As you can see in the mercifully short video below it is almost as easy to set fire to as magnesium.

the Ohmasa flame also produces holes in sheet of titanium through vaporization (no melting is visible) so the tungsten issues can be removed from consideration.
Or with the right tweak of the flame, oxidation. Burnt, not melted.

Negative Mass is a mathematical contrivance used to attract the attention of the Nobel Prize committee. It is merely one way of explaining phenomena that are not otherwise understood. But that does not mean that there are no other explanations for them.

More than 10,000 research papers were retracted in 2023 — a new recordThe number of articles being retracted rose sharply this year. Integrity experts say that this is only the tip of the iceberg.www.nature.com
The number of retractions issued for research articles in 2023 has passed 10,000 — smashing annual records — as publishers struggle to clean up a slew of sham papers and peer-review fraud. Among large research-producing nations, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Russia and China have the highest retraction rates over the past two decades, a Nature analysis has found.
The bulk of 2023’s retractions were from journals owned by Hindawi, a London-based subsidiary of the publisher Wiley (see ‘A bumper year for retractions’). So far this year, Hindawi journals have pulled more than 8,000 articles, citing factors such as “concerns that the peer review process has been compromised” and “systematic manipulation of the publication and peer-review process”, after investigations prompted by internal editors and by research-integrity sleuths who raised questions about incoherent text and irrelevant references in thousands of papers.

I think that all concerned should remember to be kind.

Or maybe this is my over active imagination dreaming up something not to manifest in this timeline.😅
Maybe not.

I'll write a bit more about this later today.
Please do. As fir removing the 'cold' thermocouple, that is a classic example of a 'positional' error in calorimetery. The average temperature of the airflow is actually what is required, otherwise it is like putting a TC over a candle flame in a freezing cold Carnegie Hall and claiming your candle is heating the whole place.

Moreover, Clean Planet seems to be well funded by its anchor shareholders, who are very credible large companies.
At around the time CP were formed I had the chance to buttonhole the deputy energy minister at the Diet in Tokyo. We had lunch together and afterwards I took the opportunity to quiz him on the governments cold fusion funding plans. He said to me 'they can have as much as the want'. His English was pretty good, but I suspect that by 'want' he meant 'need'.

WATER WARS - EVEN IN EUROPE.
Italian utility in hot water for draining a picturesque lake to send water to RomeThe legal battle the local community is waging against Acea could set an important new environmental precedent in the European Union.thebulletin.orgFrancesco Falconi stood at the edge of Lake Bracciano, a volcanic depression filled with crystalline water and surrounded by bucolic wooded hills and ancient Italian villages. “This is where I used to dive into the lake,” Falconi, a lawyer who grew up in one of those villages, says, pointing to a rock on the lake’s periphery. Jump from there today, and you would probably wake up in the nearest emergency room.
In 2017, Lake Bracciano, a basin of around 22 square miles, faced an existential crisis. It started to dry up as a local utility, the Acea Group, diverted its waters to quench the thirst of the Italian capital during a severe drought. Residents of the surrounding villages were able to stop the water company from draining the lake, but the damage was done. Habitat and ecosystems were lost, and the lake has never fully recovered. Now, they are bringing the company to court for environmental crimes.
The trial could set a precedent throughout Europe, by creating more public awareness about environmental crimes that involve water use and drainage, a long-overlooked issue, in addition to water pollution. It could inspire other small communities to fight to safeguard their natural havens and force big cities to find new solutions to deal with their water needs.
The Lazio region, where Rome and Lake Bracciano are located, is rich in lakes, rivers, and pristine springs, but frequent droughts, climate change, and terrible water management are creating a recurring state of crisis....continues..

He wrote a paper last year it seems Risk and Scientific Reputation: Lessons from Cold Fusion
It isn't really a scientific paper, more like a speculative one.
I think having a philosophical debate about "cold fusion" would be healthy if the man would hold an audience.Huw Price's paper is actually a chapter of a book (still being assembled AFAIK). Huw is a friend of mine and a supporter of the field. We (the ISCMNS) are discussing a possible meeting perhaps similar to the one you suggest, sometime in 2024.

Maybe I could help answer it?
Or maybe I could email Iwamura-san? He usually answers sensible questions.

I would hear hilarious tales of the ongoing exploits of "Cap'n Bob" (as Private Eye used to call Maxwell). But it wasn't so funny when his business skulduggery unravelled.
I may have mentioned this before, but Maxwell once chastised one of his layout guys for NOT spelling 'nuclear' as 'nucular'.

Interesting opinion on this from 'somebody who knows'. It must remain anonymous since it was a private email. (slightly edited byy me)
"... it is most important to make old papers available, especially if they are wrong. And it is very helpful to write a letter or review in which you cite and catagorize the types of errors.
The authors of an old paper probably don't believe it's conclusions anymore either. Old papers are useful in measuring the effort and the errors and misconceptions. We should thank everyone who works in the field and not hide their efforts because of errors or the bad luck of choosing the wrong metal supplier.
Now when you aren't sure the author or publisher wants you to post the article, it is important to follow copyright law, bearing in mind the consequences of getting it wrong. But almost all authors do want their works available. They are not worried about the unlikely lost revenue from failing to sell an old paper to a new publisher. So keep the author's interest in mind.
Social media benefits from the DMCA law which means the social media company isn't responsible for pre-checking copyrights of user posts, but is responsible for reasonably rapidly responding to take-down requests from copyright holders. That law doesn't allow the social media site to be an editor however. It may be that making part of your site link to a social media site and inviting others to share papers there would reduce your workload and legal vulnerability. I don't know which social media site you would best use for that... but a number might work. How well would your own google group do? Your own Discord or Slack site? Is there a good Reddit group?- that might be hard to manage."
Does LENR forum qualify as 'social media'???
