Display MoreExtensive, hell. You don't know the first thing about it! You keep saying things that contradict the ABCs of cold fusion.
If you do not want to read papers then you should not ask me questions, because the only answers are in papers. The only thing I can do is direct you to the sources. You have to figure them out for yourself. The only way to know about a serious academic subject is to read and understand. There are no shortcuts.
If you will not learn, you have no business expressing opinions or criticizing. You have no right to any opinion. Imagine this were some other subject. Imagine we are discussing Meiji era Japanese literature. Suppose you had never even heard of the authors or read any of their books in translation. I comment about Soseki's attitudes toward money and the autobiographical aspects of his late novels. Would you come flying in saying "that's all wrong, he never wrote that" -- if you have never even heard of Soseki? Do you routinely crash serious academic and scientific discussions with opinions when you don't know the first thing about the subject? That would make you look stupid. So why do you mouth off about cold fusion? Why is it different from any other academic or scientific subject? Never mind me; who do you think you are contradicting the likes of Fleischmann and Bockris? You just told us you have not bothered to read anything. So you have no basis to reject cold fusion, or to accept it.
Don't be absurd! Do not be blind to your own comments! You have expressed very clear positions. All of them technically wrong, all based on ignorance.
I don't care whether you care or not. That's not my business. You ask technical questions. I am the librarian. I direct you to the answers, which are in books and papers. ONLY in books and papers. The ONLY way you can understand them is to read them. This is not an easy subject. There are no pat answers. There is contradictory evidence. Some of it may be wrong, or it may be misunderstood. Some things are clear, but even those you do not understand because you have not made an effort to learn. If you are not willing to do any homework or make any effort, then yes I would definitely say you should shut up and go away.
I do not know what you do for a living, or what you majored in college in, or what subject you happen to know in detail for some other reason. But I am confident that you would tell me to f-off if I started blathering about that subject and then I said: "I have not read anything, and I have no real position, but you're wrong."
I have been reading a lot on this forum. This is my first written reaction.
I think that Interested Obeserver is raising valid questions and statements.
He is concerned about the usage of coal for energy production. He is defending the better alternatives like wind and solar energy.
He would be more interested in the possibilities of LENR if he would be given a bit of more supportive and easier to access Information about the progress that has been made. He seems to be open and not biased
Reading 100 pages of docs might not be the answer. Could something be done to lower the entry level and as a result raise more public support?
This is no critics to JR. Maybe somebody could publish a LENR for beginners? That is kept up to date with recent evolutions?
It could serve a broader audience....
