Re: [Vo]:Robert Park died
I think Bob suffered from cognitive dissonance. I trust he is cured.

This means Park was briefed on cold fusion at least once a year. He knew what was happening. Many leading opponents of cold fusion know nothing about the subject. They have read *Nature*, *Scientific American*, Wikipedia and other sources of misinformation, so they think they know about it. I am not excusing them, but we can see how they inadvertently got it wrong. Park had the facts. Even if he did not believe the facts, he might have checked for himself, read original sources, and asked questions. He did not. I am not a mind reader so I cannot say whether he believed what he said. It seems unlikely to me based on the content of his claims, but people often believe unlikely things.

Yes exactly that is what SO(4) physics shows with the highest possible precision. I was referring to the mathematical analysis of bulk matter rather than any sort of underlying particle theory of matter. If matter is composed of point particles separated by some distance, then each point particle could have a finite mass connected to it. Harry Such an approach is similar to statistical thermodynamics where we define some class rules to get some useful information. For engineering all methods are allowed/should be used! But keep in mind there as there is no ideal gas there is also no ideal point mass - and always we do have mixtures.
