"And then there is the object of your obsession, modern cold fusion, after more than 20 years its singular superstar is an ex-con from Italy with a tendency for incomprehensible tirades. I hope you don't get cold waiting in line at the Home Depot for your ecat."

Thus speaks ignorance. Have you read EVEN ONE actual scientific paper on ANY cold fusion experiment? Science isn't about "superstars", it's about experimental data (NOT math models). This is what Einstein, Feynmann, and every HONEST scientific researcher knows and says.

Read McKubre's summary of the history of CF research in the Foreword of the ICCF conference proceedings: http://lenr-canr.org/acrobat/ViolanteVproceeding.pdf For good or ill, doing a successful electrolysis CF experiment if difficult in the extreme. Experiments in ceramic superconductors are child's play by comparison.

And this is in addition to a subset of the scientific community of patho/psycho skeptics throwing sand in the gears of the machinery by indulging in "political science" (tenure denial, grant denial, etc.) and fraudulent experiments (MIT).

Pretty good discussion here until the flat-earth loon showed up.

Then why do 99% of the threads you and Kevmo post mention Rossi?

Kevmo likes to cite over 14,000 CF experiments from his Chinese source. They can't be all that difficult.

You believe Rossi built a successful device in his garage. Once again, it can't be that difficult.

I've read ever paper that calls CF critics psycho-skeptics and idiots the way you do.
