I thought the Nobel was for things that had a large (positive) impact on
human society; how one can even begin to make that argument for some like
this is beyond me. Or is it just one more sign that even the Nobel
organization has succumbed to mainstream scientific groupthink...

But it does! Though I think your definitions of impact and human society
differ from the Nobel committee's.

In probability theory and statistics, Bayes theorem (rule) is a useful model
of conditional probabilities. It is a way to judge improbable future
events which derives from the more basic axioms of probability but it
discounts the scientific
This analysis is preposterous. He has to look at actual technical details.
He can't just guess about the likelihood that someone has discovered a new
energy source. He has no idea what the likelihood of that event is. No one
can have any such idea.

A lot of this depends on the internal heat conductivity structure of the

this conductivity structure?

I suppose if LENR happens any time soon, there will be enough cheap energy to
create always-on interference devices to fight these little buggers - either
for scrambling control and data transmission or totally disabling via large,
directed EMF fields. Not a realistic hope? On the other hand a
I would expect the water filled tube to absorb roughly the same amount of heat
power in the liquid form as when it boils since the heat must pass through the
pipe surface area. Actually, liquid water is a better conductor of heat than
the vaporized water that remains after the control
