Everyone asking how physicist can be so dishonest have to read that slaids about Thomas Kuhn http://fr.slideshare.net/sandhyajohnson/the-structure-of-scientific-revolutions-thomas-kuhn-book-summary#
it is why people less preformated to a science may thing more naturally than people thinking insite a very optimized paradigm adapte to their usual problem solving... science is so hard that you have to learn strict method, and paradigm change break those education. Thinking out of the box is like killing an armed kid for a laymen during a war. you can add to that the work of benabou that show how the delusion of others imply your own delusion in a system not only because you will be toasted, because it will change nothing, but because lack of visible opposition make you sincerely think you are wrong when seeing the reality. http://www.princeton.edu/~rbenabou/papers/Review%20of%20Economic%20Studies-2013-Benabou-429-62.pdf to be honest It was clear from reading paper that LENr was a real phenomenon in 93, but I fall in that modesty suppression... It need me 2 month in 2012 to accept what I was reading. Benabou helped me much to accept myself. Kuhn would probably have helped me more. As I always says, Nassim Nicholas Taleb is to be read also... maybe first. 2013/5/25 Peter Gluck <[email protected]> > > We are now testimonials of a fierce war against a reality that destroys > their Egos, the weapons used are those traditional in myriads of forms. > See: "*Imagination is the only weapon in the war > against reality.” Jules de > Gaultier<http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/1354285.Jules_de_Gaultier> > .* > I wonder that it still was not discovered that the Swedish scientists are > financed by the notorious criminal Nils Holgersson known for his sadic > actions against dwarfs and geese. > A la guerre, comme a la guerre! > Peter > > > On Sat, May 25, 2013 at 4:27 AM, Jed Rothwell <[email protected]>wrote: > >> Several people have proposed that Rossi has secretly installed equipment >> in the wall circuit to deliver more electricity than the power meter shows. >> Common sense considerations show that this is so unlikely we can dismiss >> it.
