You may find it is not as easy to make a convincing looking hoax.
Not only is it difficult, but in many cases, the notion that these
o-u claims are hoaxes strikes me as unrealistic, because people put
so much effort, time and money into them. If Stanley Meyer was a
hoax, he went to as much trouble as a real inventor would. Why
bother? Why not just dummy up some still photos and circulate them?
(He lived before the Internet and YouTube.)
I absolutely reject the notion that Mills is a hoax. For the money he
has spent you could make a full-scale Hollywood special effects-grade
hoax that would easily convince millions of people. Whereas some of
his early experiments barely convinced me. If those were fake, they
were inept fakes. Why not put out a bigger fake signal? If you are
going to do fake cold fusion you should make it like in the movie
"The Saint." Or arrange to have one of your cells explode the way Mizuno's did.
Incidentally, the equations in that movie that the heroine was
stuffing into her . . . brassiere . . . were actual real cold fusion
physics equations by Peter Hagelstein, supplied to the producer by
Gene Mallove, who is in the credits. (Rah, rah!) I think I recall
Peter saying that is as close to the Elisabeth Shoue's boobs as he
hopes to get. (Or if he didn't say that, it is the sort of thing he would say.)
