you make a very good remark. many claims of artifact that skeptic propose since decades would deserve a Nobel price. Strange they don't investigate and patent it! (I eliminate some claim which have more room in a festival of magic, and which could be sold).
anyway this does not eliminate case of good old 19th century artifacts. 2015-03-24 2:09 GMT+01:00 Alberto De Souza <alberto.investi...@gmail.com>: > > On Mon, Mar 23, 2015 at 4:46 PM, <mix...@bigpond.com> wrote: > >> In reply to Alberto De Souza's message of Sun, 22 Mar 2015 20:59:30 >> -0400: >> Hi, >> [snip] >> >If we see resistance variation, it >> >is all the better, more new physics. >> >> I have already provided two reasons why the resistance might vary:- >> 1) Aluminium coating. >> 2) Hydrogen absorption. >> > > Both could happen. 1) would affect both reactors. 2) only the loaded > reactor.
