that some people said LENR claims do violate laws of thermodynamic made me fall on my bottom... it remind me the book of Beaudette about what he call skeptic (in fact deniers) page 134 (164) in the box: summation *Characteristics of the Scientific Skeptic* In general, skeptics display the

Alain, the phenomenon of LENR itself does not violate the laws of thermodynamics but some of the explanations do. Apparently, this is a problem that physicists have. Many of them do not understand or accept the laws of thermodynamics. Consequently, they waste a lot of time discussing ideas

This is good - but those of us who follow the field closely should be aware that LENR advocates and practitioners can themselves be blindly skeptical within the niche, such as when confronted with an explanation or theory which they do not espouse, or an experimenter who has been rude to them

The theorist is always looking for experimental results to confirm his reality. That is a situation that is pleasing and conformable. But when the experiment confronts the theorist with the unexpected and the disturbing, the theorist must adjust his reality to match what is real. Quantum

that is what I have in mind too. I am quite conservative (sic) about conservation laws. The more i heard of them, the more I think they are structurally solid (anyway I may be wrong), because they are expression of symmetries. It seems TD2 is linked to Heizenberg, and TD1 to gauge equivalence.

*New Energy Times has just learned that, on Sept. 27, 2013, the Department of Energy’s Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) quietly announced a funding opportunity for low-energy nuclear reaction (LENR) research, among other areas.* Hey, that was my 59th birthday. How nice!

Jed, I think the phrase low-energy nuclear reactions must have been inspired by current claims. On p.5, under the PROGRAM OVERVIEW, it states - This announcement is purposely broad in scope to encourage the submission of the most innovative, out-of-the-box ideas in energy technology. Since
