Question is not whether all are so, but nice and honest people have usually
less power and voice in debate compared to nasty egotic personalities.

Well said, I like the combination of “plasmon-induced
dissociation of H2 on Au” and “As a byproduct of the polariton lifecycle, an
irregular metal surface will produce high energy electrons through this
nanoplasmonic mechanism” , IMHO the “irregular metal surface” is of
Deciding why CF was rejected is difficult because so many variables
apply and each person only experienced part of the process. To start
the evaluation, the basic reasons need to be acknowledged. Once the
reasons are available, their importance needs to be determined. The

I agree, Jed, with your description of human nature. I see this same
behavior being applied by people even within the CF field. You would
think they would not be prone to this behavior. But, as you note,
humans are the same no matter the subject. Perhaps, this behavior is

I think that sucess of failure of acceptance of something like LENR, is
partially determined, but hugely chaotic... few details could have make
LENR a success.

I suggest we are not dealing only with creativity here. What passes
for new ideas or creative thinking is more often nonsense or insane
rambling. We are shocked by the rejection only when the idea is later
found to be correct or is applied in a useful way. Most ideas that
might be called
The challenge in understanding LENR and its eventual acceptance by
mainstream science is that it is driven by a zoo of complex interacting
quantum mechanical phenomena. In order to make any progress in LENR,
original and out-of-the-box experimental techniques are required to provide
a reliable

Dear Readers,
Hundred years from now it will be obvious how deep it was/is the creativity
crisis and productivity crisis of the contemporary theoretical physics and
actually how easy it was to radically change the situation. It will be also
seen then in which extent the very bold ideas of Dr.
