To me dila813 posts are much more interesting than mine, because he has focused on the deviant behavior of the cold fusionistas and their marks, dupes and shills. Of course cold fusionism is not right. It cannot be right, which has been what I have pointed out. The much more interesting question is to ask why this cooperative self-organization around the charlattanism has occurred, sort of like a support group of codependants of drunks, bankrupts and adulterers. Its is poor physics, believe me, although the detection of the lengths these guys have stretched principles to try to convince their followers that they have answered their critis has been a bit of a lark. More fascinating though is this study in psychology. I am mesmerized by it because this desire to be duped tells us something dark about the human soul, or at least the American soul.
Feel free to explain the EPR [Einstein–Podolsky–Rosen] paradox.
And the 14000 replications of excess heat in LENR experiments.
I know, I know, you won’t do that, even if I nudge you with an insult or two such as “coward” or “lazy”.
Lurkers will note that the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle is a legitimate target due to the simple fact that OBSERVATIONS counteract it. So it shouldn’t come as a surprise to find it being modified in a theory like KP Sinha’s. But that just seems too much for the PhD Nuke Phycisist to bear.
Maybe the psychologists would have fun examining your head while it is stuck in the sand. “Rocks cannot fall from the sky”.
Yes, human behavior is very interesting. It is amazing how a human almost desires to be fooled and feels defensive when someone tries to point out that he has been fooled.
Magicians depend on this for many of their tricks.
