Right. They say Rossi has not produced fusion. That destroys the
parallel, because it was obvious that Edison *had* produced
incandescent lights. What wasn't obvious was that he could make it
practical. If scientists thought Rossi had cold fusion, they would
be all over it, as they were in 1989.
Not exactly.
There is no dispute that Edison produced light.
Nobody knew (or needed to know) the formula for his filaments, or
challenged their possibility.
There is, unfortunately, dispute that Rossi produced excess energy.
Skeptics therefore have nothing to explain, so whether it's CF or
Unicorns is irrelevant.
But if you DO accept that Rossi produced excess energy, then you're
in a different ballpark.
Skeptics will still say it's fake.
If/when Rossi produces (agreed) excess energy for a time longer than
any known source
THEN the skeptics/scientists will have to get off their bu//// rear ends.
