There's a full statement & explanation by Brian Josephson at
http://pesn.com/2011/09/26/9501920_NobelPrize_Laureate_to_Test_Cold_Fusion_E-Cat/
Dear Sterling,
The article isn't correct actually. What happened was that I received
an invitation from Levi giving details of what was planned, including
what is quoted in your report. I posted this, preceded by 'I have
received this information from Prof. Levi', to a discussion group.
Someone with limited comprehension abilities posted the text without
the reference to Levi, with the result that it appeared that I myself
had written "On October 6 we will have the opportunity to make a long
... test", instead of Levi. And the false information spread.
I decided not to accept the invitation, mainly because of the time it
would take, not just travel but examining the details and writing the
report. Hopefully another qualified person will be present but it is
too early to be sure about things and I suggest you keep in touch with Levi.
...Who passed on the text as if it was mine initially is unclear.
Anyway, I'm afraid in the circumstances radical revision of your web
page is needed :-( But thanks for your Sterling (!) work generally!
One trusts this test will be able to clear up uncertainties re the
E-cat. This will however be dependent to some extent on the expertise
of the people involved, and it does not appear that the list of those
who have been invited includes experts in calorimetry (which a number
of cold fusion researchers are). It has only cosmetic value if
distinguished non-experts are observers.
Best regards,
Brian J.
