Dear Mr Edison,
The supposed invention of a “light bulb” has been tried for nearly 50 years. It is obvious to all serious scientists that your fantasy of making such nonsense practical is absurd. You keep promising that if we just give you more time, you will soon have working lights for all. Even if this could possibly be achieved, how would you get electricity to all? No sir, we are convinced this “light bulb” talk of yours is impractical and outright poor science at best, and at worst an obvious scam.
Sincerely,
The spirit of future posters of FR
PS: I should have you know that your persistent ramblings are having a profoundly negative effect upon others as well, namely those inane lunatic Wright brothers who claim to be inventing a box that can fly in the air all by itself. Sir, for all that is sacred to science, stop at once before you do any more harm!
And the proof of the concept was in the invention. Tesla had working lights based on AC as well as Edisons’s incandescent vacuum bulb. The point is that they succeeded AND showed their wares.
When all the LENR folks who keep promising working units ( and they have missed more than one dead line) then we will have wonderful discussions. Until then it is just so much ink on paper.
