From: Jed Rothwell
It would be interesting to visit Rockwell with Jones Beene. I imagine the conversation would go something like this: Researcher showing equipment: "Here is the main unit. The resolution is 0.1 parts per billion." Beene: "You mean million." Researcher: "No, billion. Now over here we have the cryogenic . . ." Beene: "That's not possible! You can't detect mass at ppb with precision! If you could, you would know the mass of the proton to nine significant digits, correct? Researcher: uh… uh… well maybe we can some days, and maybe we can’t on others but we always get some helium. Beene: If you really believed your results indicated cold fusion, then you would be trying to put this technology into the B1 bomber, correct? Researcher: uh… uh… well no… that cold fusion is voodoo science, you know. Beene: Then where is the helium coming from? Researcher: Who knows. We always see a few ppb of it. That’s how we know we can detect a few ppb. Beene: Yes, I see. Then in your opinion the helium does not come from the fusion of deuterons? Researcher: Hell no! That’s voodoo science isn’t it? QED
