But that isn't the case. There are recent multiple reports of successful experiments by other researchers, both in the area of Ni-H (a la Rossi) and Pd-D2 (al la Pons/Fleischmann). I've read about at least four different ones in the last couple of weeks, none associated with Rossi, and at least one in competition with him (Piantelli).
"It was interesting to hear someone talk about the problems with what is proposed. Like the lack of any theoretical way for these materials to undergo a transmutation and that the copper that was in the sample was naturally occurring and the lack of radiation. That all from someone isn’t declaring it a scam..that Rossi has used to boost his prestige.
"If" the physics in the solid state behaves as does the physics in a superheated plasma. Which is, IMO, not very likely.
And I think his last paragraph is very telling:
"I myself have nothing against to reveal a scam, or join in and verify something that no one could imagine. Both extremes belong to that which makes life as a researcher incredibly interesting."
Which is basically saying "go where the evidence leads you". And which is precisely my own perspective. My deepest belief is that Mother Nature still has a LOT of surprises up her sleeve that we currently have no clue about.
I will give you Piantelli, but they think he is involved with the fraud too.
This Swed doesn’t give a damn if there is fraud. He just is enjoying the show.
You need to reread his statement, he doesn’t care.
