hey a...

1) you have obviously not watched any of the SPAWAR videos which cover, in depth, their research in LENR - they are in the public domain and freely available.

2) As for physicists not noticing - that's garbage propaganda - the thirty or so physicists in the room must of noticed otherwise why would they have been there. If you are not present when a tree falls in a forest - does that mean the tree did not fall NO! it only means that you missed it - and you did miss it.

3) I will accept Rossi’s patent application as just what it is, a patent application - and I would give any critic more credence if they just would apply for a LENR patent using a different method, however all the critics do is criticize not shed any new light on LENR.

4) What I didn't mention in my post is the pi$$poor posts from armchair critics who because they have a some small morsel knowledge think they are experts. One guy quoted Sander Olson of nanotech fame as an expert - well it turns out that Sander Olson has his BS and MS in HISTORY, which I am certain qualifies him to pan Rossi and be quoted by every two-bit Rossi critic. Another said Rossi was a quack because Rossi did not have an Export license and restricted armament license. Another that Rossi must show his Intellectual Property for all the world to see, that guy works in academia and his lack of knowledge on IP was painfully obvious.

What a bunch of armchair, Monday morning quarterback, uninformed, dim-bulb losers.

Free-Republic has really degenerated into a forum where anybody without a lick of sense thinks it is his God given right to spew what ever notion pops into his head.

***I summed up that sentiment by calling them seagulls, and the mods told me to stop. Apparently seagulls are sensitive about their feelings, doncha know.

That's right. I'm fascinated with fringe science and conspiracy theories, but I usually can't be bothered to spend that much time looking at fringie sources.

When I said that physicists haven't noticed SPAWAR's alleged revolutionizing of physics, I was referring to the mainstream physics community, not the thirty scientists in attendance at a fringe presentation. Cold fusion promoters have had since 1989 to demonstrate that cold fusion exists, and haven't convinced more than a small handful of people in the field. They seem to have had much better success with lay people who are interested in conspiracies. I think I'll stick with the combined wisdom of what we might call "establishment physics," thanks.

This I just don't follow. If someone claims to be creating unicorns by sprinkling horses with magic powder, would you only accept criticism from someone who has a patent application for a different method of unicorn creation? Rossi claims to have invented a source of virtually free and unlimited energy in contravention of fundamentals of established physics. One doesn't have to claim to have a different method of creating free energy to assume the man is a kook until he provides evidence.
