OK. Kevin, you obviously know more about physics than about management/leadership. We had a talk about my subject not long ago. It did not go very well. I will take my chances in an area I am poorly prepared. Reason I try is because I am confused. I haave some friends who told me that state of matter is not very accurate. Their opinion is that it is an infinite number of states. First of all help me understand what is more accurate. If my friends are correct, then We do not need o look for any new states. Maybe it is worth finding out more about states of matter for reasons beyond LENR and maybe to fully undrstand LENR an understanding of more hard to describe/understand states is required. The whole discussion about different theories is way too adament in my opinion. It seems like if evry theory is having problems to be accepted by a wide group of scientists. I think a more humble aproach where taking pieces from all theories would propel the search for a solution forward much faster than the attempt to disqualify othe theories while lifting ones own up to theology level.. What I say is that there might be many forms of LENR. They might be depending on which state of matter they are working in. So why not take the thoughts from Ed Storms, Dr. Mills, W&L, Axil, Jones, etc. and search for the common denominators instead of the reason one is better?
