He and the others had been waiting for a long time, and they were grousing (he told me). I think he said that out of the 50 people only 10 or so could look at the thing up close at one time. I don't know why. Small room? To prevent crowding? Maybe you can tell from the video . . . Levi and the others from U. Bologna were there from start to finish of this test, and the other tests and calibrations. Notice in the update he sent to me today, he refers to this as a "wonderful device." I think he is pretty much convinced it is real, despite his complaints about the test and the fact that Rossi prevented him from taking a spectrum. Melich and I are also "pretty much convinced." Not 100%. Celani says that people in Italy have been aware of Rossi's claims for about two years, and several groups are working to replicate. Some openly, and some incognito. I doubt they are getting any cooperation from Rossi. My impression is that after the demo, some of them went into high gear. If one of them figures out what the 2 magic elements are, Rossi's intellectual property will be in jeopardy. And speaking of Jeopardy!!!! How you like them apples, carbon-based life-forms? As Ken Jennings put it, "I for one welcome our new computer overlords."
