Members of the Vortex:
I joined last night to address an issue raised by Maryyugo. Being a lawyer I
really have no special expertise in the sciences and thus have little to
offer on technical issue. Thus, not wanting to burden all of you I will
likely either stay a member and be quiet or exit the membership in the near
term. I do read your website and have enjoyed all the debates and wonderful
information many of your members have to offer.
The above being said, I have a very strong opinion about this latest posting
by Lattice Energy. I think it is utter nonsense to draw a distinction
between the term "Cold Fusion" and LENR. In my opinion they are both
moniker's for the same physical anomaly, ie anomalous heat described by Pons
and Fleischmann in 1989 and many others thereafter. I don't think a
definitive theory has been accepted, indeed plenty of mainstream scientists
seem not to accept it at all under either moniker. While I appreciate that
theories for the anomalous heat differ, I could care less which turns out to
be correct and talking for the general public (only because I like them am
not a scientist) I doubt they do either. I also don't care if the name
given to the process is particularly accurate from a scientific standpoint,
you guys can call it whatever you want once you figure it out. Personally,
I think the term Cold Fusion is cool and would prefer to keep it as the
moniker of choice.
What troubles me about this letter from Lattice Energy and Krivit's apparent
obsession with the distinction is the notion that somehow the people who
have used the term Cold Fusion to describe what they have been doing are
talking about a different physical anomaly. It also suggests these people
who from what I understand simply have a different theory to explain the
anomaly have been doing bad science.
This in my opinion is outlandish and the scientific community (ie YOU guys)
shouldn't stand for it.
If LENR, Cold Fusion CANR (call it what you wish) becomes a commercial
energy source for the world, everyone who has worked on it regardless of
their theory should be applauded and recognized for keeping the torch
burning for mankind while many of your brethren scoffed at the subject.
Just a lawyer's two cents.
