Well, as I said in the book and video (Fire from Water - I wrote the screenplay), this is like a match that everyone knows should burn out in a minute, which burns for days instead. Perhaps ancient people who dealt with fire directly would more easily understand this is a miracle, as they did in the Bible. Note also that the first fission reactor in Chicago produced only about a watt. Like the cold fusion reactor, the impressive part was not the power but the way it produced that power. What is impressive about these results to a cold fusion researcher is how stable and strong the signal is. Actually, it is too stable. Kind of unnerving. It looks like a instrument error, the line is so straight. Cold fusion is usually more erratic. >I realize other CF researchers are likely to consider the 1 C temp >increase to be a resounding breakthrough, particularly if it can be >independently replicated.

I doubt you mean that because you read this forum, but your point is that the average person may not grasp the significance. I would suggest that person read chapter 1 of my book. - Jed
