The Benetton ad of the Pope kissing an Imam went a little too far, but there are any number of others like it that would faze nobody today, not to mention bumper stickers such as "it's okay to be gay." - Jed

That's hilarious. But seriously, many large changes in history do start off as small, random events and the right people being in the right place at the right time. Jobs might well have ended up a maladjusted failure if he had not met Wozniak. Wilbur Wright might have become a conscientious but long forgotten teacher in an Ohio town if he had not been bashed in face with a hockey puck in 1885, and nearly killed. During his two-year recovery he gave up all hope of a college education and going out into the wider world, and instead stuck around Dayton with his younger brother, manufacturing bicycles. Sometimes people are in the wrong place at the wrong time, such as Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria on June 28, 1914. I suppose there would have been a war sooner or later, but perhaps not. You cannot run history over again to find out. Perhaps war might have erupted some years later, and with different weapons it might have ended more quickly with an allied victory, instead of 9 million people slaughtered. - Jed

Oops! I forgot the course description! Let me try again: "Rossi Business Strategies" - Business #671, Semesters (1 & 2), 4 Credits Each How to succeed in business by faking out the competition with disinformation designed to make your own business appear to be a massive scam operation as perceived by your competitors. This two-semester course studies the Rossi Phenomenon which ultimately introduced a major commercial paradigm shift in global energy distribution networks in the early 21st century. We will focus on why Rossi continues to be fiercely debated within business schools. Did Rossi consciously manipulate his own disinformation campaign, a strategy that appeared to have skillfully faked out the global fossil industry for more than a decade, and as such, helped secure him a crucial foothold in developing a brand new energy market consisting of asynchronous distribution networks, as several historians have claimed. Or was Rossi's success due to nothing more than a random throw of the dice, a rare collection of eccentricities that ultimately produced the first trillionaire known to the world. Course materials: "Macroeconomics", by Fred Zuccerson; "Business ethics", by Akartha Zimbabua; Pamphlet "Vortex-l archives, circa 2011- 2015"; Pamphlet "The collapse of New Energy Times" Archives, circa 2011-2013."

Why would Rossi consider a reasonable proposal to conduct an independent test "a provocation and an insult"? Unless of course, his device would not pass the test?

Re: [Vo]:Open letter from Brian Josephson to Andrea Rossi (Focus.it)
I am glad Josephson did this but unfortunately I expect Rossi will decline the offer. He says he does not want to do tests, and he means it. Defkalion, on the other hand, said that by the end of this month: "A full specs sheet as well as product's basic design and their scheduled third party testing will be released as per our announcement of November 14th." Let us hope they mean that. They announced similar plans earlier. Evidently the schedule slipped. That is not surprising, given the difficulty of developing this product and the commotion with Rossi. They originally announced they would publish the Energy Ministry documents about their reactor in mid-summer, in July as I recall. They did not meet that deadline and never explained why. Either they did not meet the deadline, or the Ministry did not. Things are chaotic in Greece these days. Perhaps that is part of the problem. - Jed

IMO, if Rossi feels he has successfully pocketed a few select corporations who believe in his technology he would give a fart about trying to appease the scientific establishment. In fact it's possible that trying to appease them would be counterproductive in the sense that it would draw too much attention to his operations. At this delicate stage of the game Rossi knows he is exceedingly vulnerable since I gather he doesn't have adequate patent protection. Best to let the rest of the world believe he's a scam artist. Doesn't matter to Rossi, as long as a select few (who have performed due diligence) think otherwise. Regards Steven Vincent Johnson www.OrionWorks.com www.zazzle.com/orionworks

Priceless! That made me laugh. This is just my opinion, and my opinion might be wrong but I suspect Rossi will decline Josephson's invitation - for the simple reason that Rossi does not trust the scientific establishment. I suspect he fears they would either attempt to falsify his work, or screw up the results so bad that it would make him and his work look like a scam operation. Alas, it would be nice if Rossi would follow up on Josephson's invitation. Regards Steven Vincent Johnson www.OrionWorks.com www.zazzle.com/orionworks
