"Wait a second, you want me to contribute money to give to Andrew Rossi? Can you hear my laughter from there?"

I can guarantee you I never said any such thing, on ANY thread involving "cold fusion".

"WW, you said, Enrico Fermi was able to determine the yield of the Trinity test to within 5%?? with just a stopwatch and confetti? First of all, really, you're mentioning Enrico Fermi and Rossi in the same breath? Let's see, Enrico Fermi was a real physicist with a real degree. Now, you may think what Rossi has done may elevate him to Fermi's status, that remains to be seen. Besides, this is the 21st century, Firmi's method worked for then but you wouldn't use it now, would you stand outside a nuclear blast?

Sorry dude, you got the wrong guy. I have mentioned Enrico Fermi not at all. My statement was that you don't need huge amounts of fancy equipment to do good science (which is perfectly true). And I said that one could perfectly characterize Rossi's reactor with two thermometers, a barometer and a beaker. But I was wrong....you also need a stopwatch.

"One other thing, I thought the Oct 28th test was at Rossi's factory, now I've read it took place at the University of Bologna, an appeal to authority, how nice.

I'd love to know where you read that. The photos and videos show an obvious industrial park facility. I seriously doubt that a centuries old university looks anything like that.

Might I suggest you go and have a LARGE cup of coffee, and try again.

It is early, see, that's what I get for combining two posts into one, the one to you was only about Fermi and nothing else.

Where's my coffee...
