But just looking at the slides, it seems once again, theory is given much more importance than proving that the effect is real. There is a suggestion in the slides that a self-sustaining LENR reaction has been achieved. But how much power and sustained for how long? And measured how and by whom?

Does anybody know why Dr. Brian Ahern won't be presenting his findings on LENR tomorrow as originally planned? Looking at the slides, it's not surprising he bailed. The talk doesn't look finished. Like he never got past the introduction. There is absolutely no substance there at all. Just one loose idea than that dissimilar (or non-linear) bond potentials at a certain size scale can cause energy localization. He shows a macroscopic example of BBs from the cover of nature, but the degree of localization certainly doesn't make the sort of million-fold concentration that's needed plausible. When he starts to talk about cold fusion experiments, it is without any detail, without any data. Just bullet lists. The only thing in the way of evidence for his idea is that Takahashi's experiment didn't work with 20-100 nm powder, but did with the smaller powder. Sounds a little anecdotal, and appears to disagree with Rossi's results that use much larger grains (allegedly). There is a 2-line reference to recent (?) Piantelli and Miley self-sustained operation, but no details at all. And what's with the slide on Arata, calling him Japan's most decorated scientist? I don't pretend to know anything about noted Japanese, but the Wikipedia page on list of japanese people ... who are notable doesn't list him at all. They have a section just on scientists, which lists 20 names, many of them nobel prize winners, which Arata is not. The order of cultural merit (or actually the order of culture) that he has is not that exclusive; there were 7 awards in 2010, and most nobel prize winners seem to get the order. It's not that big a deal, but it would be nice if you knew you could trust the accuracy of these presentations.

A comment on that page -- nextbigfuture (site owner) Apparently the organizer has said things and posted articles about aliens and conspiracies and Ahern did not want to be associated with them in any way

His work was done under an EPRI contract. AFAIK - the funders have not released it to the public yet. -Original Message- From: Akira Shirakawa From NextBigFuture: http://nextbigfuture.com/2011/12/brian-ahern-will-not-be-presenting-on.html This is unexpected.

Citi5 claims victim of Spear Phishing Cyber-attack Could this be a case of Anonymous hacking, or do we have another Anthony Weiner-like claim of being hacked.. http://citi5.org/launch/?p=1883 Quoting: Citi5 has been the target of a coordinated and well executed cyber-attack intended to spread disinformation/misinformation. Please disregard any outrageous, inappropriate, or offensive postings made in the last 24-48 hours either on the Citi5 site, Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, or any other outlets. - Apparently Citi5 has been targeted by the ‘Anonymous’ hacker group. The intent appears to be discrediting the validity of LENR and OMEGA technologies as we lead into the event. Apparently, some will stop at nothing to prevent this information from reaching the public; such attention indicates to me that this technology is quite important. We remain vigilant in bringing this information to industry and the public at large – we look forward to presenting the facts tomorrow at the Flash Summit. Feel free to reach out directly at i...@citi5.org with any questions – apologies for any confusion. Best, -Chris Houts Citi5 Founder/Executive Director
