"The offer to test for gammas was rescinded. Please donate instead to the Martin Fleischmann Memorial Project."
I don't understand why this page is still there. ***Because it all falls within my original intention, which is to bell the cat. If in the future I decide to make MFMP a beneficiary of some other type of fundraising effort, I'll do it the way you have asked publicly AFTER THIS EFFORT, not in an Ex Post Facto manner. I set this one up to answer my own question of what it would take for ME to bell that cat. I would encourage others to do so as well. Jed is already posted in as willing to do it for a cool $million. That makes me look cheap in comparison. This was my answer to the question of what it would take to bell the cat for cold fusion. Of course I think Someone ELSE should bell the cat, like Jed Rothwell whom I posted as a good candidate, since he's tested cold fusion devices before. He declined. The question is "what would it take for ME to bell the cat". This is the answer. This is an exercise in removal of excuses. Not just others' excuses, but my own as well. The price is deliberately high so that people who live closer to the site , people who are more qualified, people who have better equipment could underbid me. They are not doing that. It's a sign that something is amiss. It only took me a few keystrokes to get started with the GoFundMe thing, and I can say unequivocally that it's a relatively painless process that doesn't take much time. So... there's that removal of excuses thing going on right there. Those are the elements of what it takes to bell the cat: Willingness, time, capability, wherewithal . Those who have the time and willingness are low on capability and wherewithal. Those who have the capabilty and wherewithal are low on willingness and time. Most of us can develop capability and wherewithal, but we can't really develop willingness and freed time . To be candid, there's one more element: Bullshit. When Celani pulled out his Geiger counter , Rossi climbed all over him because it could point to what he was using in his cells. Probably bullshit. MFMP announced they found gammas, Biberian replicated it 48 hours later, then they went off and tested other stuff without saying a word. Bullshit. Now we have MFMP coming back on line to send me a private message because they're not on Vortex-L nor here, how they quietly referenced the gammas in some peer reviewed thingie, surrounded by a ton of.... bullshit. Then we have Alan claiming he has gammas, so I'm ready to answer the question for myself as to what it would take me to overcome all the bullshit that's been thrown around over this gamma issue, and including the bullshit thrown around there. So you have my answer. It should be easy to underbid me for those who have a higher tolerance of bullshit. Then everyone's happy, and the cat gets belled. Instead of focusing on getting someone to underbid me, they went ahead and OVERbid me, saying they would do it for a $million. And then they turn around and accuse me of being a scam because I posted that I would do it in a first class fashion. No need to start negotiations at economy class. But the unsubtle hint is that the invitation to test has been rescinded. Help spread the word!
