There have a number of comments about images
from the Parkhomov/Rossi reactors which appear
to show dark wires in front of a brightly glowing background.
Yet
we know that these wires should be
strongly incandescent (unless the photo was
taken immediately after the current was turned
off)
and if the wires are powered, they will be
glowing so brightly by themselves that they
should not be seen as dark, even if the interior
of the reactor were brighter than the wires
themselves. There is no evidence that the
current was off - so we should look for other explanations.
Don't trust uncalibrated photographs. The
exposure is most likely set for the brightest
area, and anything less bright will appear dark. Think sunspots.
