Park sent his usual snide note to Frank Znidarsic the other day. I see
no change in tone.
He'll never admit anything. If Rossi reveals a 1 MW reactor in a few
months, Park and other hard-core opponents will say it is a fake.
If the 1 MW reactor does show up, it might cause a commotion. I hope
they demonstrate it in a way that is more convincing and long lasting
than the U. Bologna demonstration. The big name mass media outlets such
as the New York Times and Scientific American will ignore it, but others
may start to take notice.
One thing for sure about people like Park. They will never admit that
cold fusion is real until the New York Times, Sci. Am., Nature, the APS
and the rest of the establishment is convinced. There is no telling when
that will happen. Rossi could install dozens of working reactors and
still not convince them. That wouldn't bother me in the least, by the
way. As long as some number of wealthy investors and big corporations
are convinced and begin serious research, it makes no difference how
long the New York Times holds out. We don't need the whole world to
believe this in Stage 1. We just need people who, in the aggregate,
control a few hundred billion dollars in ready money.
Park and others will continue their attacks. They will do all they can
to block the development and destroy the reputations and careers of the
researchers. But there is only so much they can do. Their influence is
already fading. I can tell that from correspondence with readers at
LENR-CANR.org. Rossi is already funded by people who have never heard of
Robert Park. If it becomes widely known that his machine is real, many
others will be funded.
It does not have to become generally known this is real, only widely known.
