Also let's not forget the Lugano report, an independent attempt at reproduction of Rossi's E-cat claims. It produced more heat that was put in, and the isotopes got formed. http://www.elforsk.se/Global/Omv%C3%A4rld_system/filer/LuganoReportSubmit.pdf http://www.elforsk.se/Global/Omv%C3%A4rld_system/filer/Lugan... And later reproduced by the Russians, with similar results: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bz7lTfqkED9Wdm1NeEtxMFJLTmM/view https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bz7lTfqkED9Wdm1NeEtxMFJLTmM... https://geektimes.ru/post/243787/ https://geektimes.ru/post/243787/

You know what all recent LENR breakthroughs lack? Gamma rays. Gamma rays don't lie.

  Black swans don't exist because you haven't seen one? The whole idea is that these are potentially breakthrough discoveries that, if true, will change our understanding of physics. I'd say "quantum eraser" is way crazier than (potential) LENR.

    Quantum erasers are a lot less impressive than they sound. They don't really "erase" anything. You can make a quantum eraser out of a few sheets of polarizing film. See: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dEaecUuEqfc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dEaecUuEqfc around the 15 minute mark for a demo.

  The article says something to that effect: "The Widom-Larsen theory offers a plausible explanation—localized conversion of gamma radiation to infrared radiation."

    > localized conversion of gamma radiation to infrared radiation How does that work? Gamma penetrates matter pretty well. It should escape to some extent.

  Helium also.

  Based on a certain model of fusion based on a theoretical model based on certain assumptions. You know that one falsification is enough to break any model and the standard mode has been falsified over and over again. This means that you can still use it in certain areas where the calculations are a good enough fit, but you can never use it as an argument against anything anymore.

imaginemore "the Lugano report" was not independent in any way. Rossi was involved at every stage. He supplied the "reactor" vessel. He put the "fuel" into the apparatus and he took it out. The three blind mice were allowed only a tiny portion of the supposed reaction products. Rossi is nothing but a serial fraudster. http://freeenergyscams.com/videos/ http://freeenergyscams.com/videos/ "The Russians" is actually one man, Parkhomov, a fully fledged nutcase. http://www.internationalskeptics.com/forums/showpost.php?p=10467707&postcount=13 http://www.internationalskeptics.com/forums/showpost.php?p=1...
