Very few of us are destined to make a colossal financial killing in the world, particularly on the order of raking in billions of Dollars/Euros. It remains to be seen whether Rossi's name will be added to that rarified list. If Rossi does eventually succeed I would speculate that the history

No, I can't explain if there is any significance to the MgH2 as to QM; I'm probably hunkered down in the thermonuclear camp, sorry. As to the Chan/Phen/Ortiz postings, they are totally unsupported, but my experience of working with backyard 'engineers' and the language they used suggests to
