Got any links to actual papers? Any details regarding the excess heat? And, of course, replications? If there are actual papers on the blog site I don't see them (which proves little, as I didn't spend a lot of time digging). Is there a source for the "persistent rumors"? In an era where everything's written down (on the Internet) and almost everything can be traced back to its source, "rumors" of scientific success seem like a strange concept. > A few amateur spies in the area, and in Italy, have been trying to get > more information (legally) but despite everything and having gotten > pretty close -- this is looking more and more like the 'holy grail' > has been found, in the sense of someone finally "cracking the case" of > cold fusion ... although anyone who appreciates the 'backstory' would > be hesitant to give too much credit to Rossi, and realizes that it is > not cold, not fusion, and Mills is the one that "coulda, shoulda" got > there first ... > > Sometimes the most important ingredient in success is being in the > right place at the right time... and not being too proud to borrow > everything that came before. > > Jones >
