"Why is it that common employees at NASA were able to think of this "supremely simple" experiment within a few months of the Fleischmann and Pons announcement, yet no one else in the world has thought of it in the 20+ years since?

Good question. Perhaps the fact that it was never published or publicized widely has something to do with it.

"It's been almost 3 years since the 2009 memo. Yawn and snore.

Again a case of failure to publicize. Why is that?

"If you go back and look at this thread, you'll see that I'm the only one listening to your so called evidence, and making the effort to turn it into something comprehensible. You should be more appreciative.

Oh, I suspect there are some lurkers out there as well.

"It felt so strange going to an online magazine called Infinite Energy to read a rant given by someone who was dead at the time. Anyway, it's a shame he couldn't get to the point in 200 words or less and say his theory was cold fusion was caused by deuterium reacting with hydrogen contamination.

So, a Nobel Laureate and expert in quantum solid state physics tries to publish theory papers on cold fusion, is stifled, presents the evidence for being stifled, and all you see is "a dead guy" who was only talking about deuterium reacting with hydrogen.

See my previous point about your lack of intellectual honesty.

"Even someone who is as stupid as me (for listening to you) can think of an easy test. Repeat the "supremely simple" NASA experiment, and introduce varying amounts of hydrogen gas into the deuterium to see what effect it has on the brief temperature anomaly, and look for the Helium 3 product."

WOW! What an exercise in post-facto logic. Perhaps if Scwhinger had known about the NASA experiment back in 1989, he would have fostered doing just that. But now that Celani HAS seen that the technique HAS been widely publicized, you can bet that the approach WILL be re-tested. It will be interesting to see if a "mainstream science" publication is willing to then publish the results.

If you read Schwinger's "dead man" talk in 1994 you would know that he already knew about palladium and deuterium. The fact that the NASA people chose not to publish didn't prevent him from knowing that. Anybody with brains and resources available to anyone at a university, government science agency, large corporation, foreign government, or inventor with a few bucks could have tested Schwinger's theory with a simple experiment. They've had 18 years to do it, and have failed to do so.

There is no proof for cold fusion (other than muon), in spite of easy experiments that would do so. Your links to Ecat blogs and Infinite Energy magazine are not evidence or proof. The two NASA memos do tend to support a small and brief temperature anomaly that couldn't power a popcorn fart. That's it. That's all you have other than your delusional conspiracy theory.
