Nice back of the envelope work. Just found this: http://www.cosmosmagazine.com/news/4775/tests-needed-light-speed-neutrino Nicole Bell, a senior lecturer in theoretical particle physics at the University of Melbourne in Australia, pointed to an example from astronomy that seems to refute the latest ...

The supernova 1987A is believed to have produced a small but significant number of neutrino counts seen at three neutrino counting facilities when it cooked off. I don't know how well they can compare the time of the supernova with the time of the counts. At the time, they were thought to be coinci...

This is interesting. So here is a simple experiment.... Lets say we are observing a distant star that is some large number of LY away that we know will go supernova soon. With the supernova, a burst of neutrinos is expected along with the burst of photons. By the time we optically see the supernova,...

Interesting comment from 2nd Aug in Daniele Passerini's blog: Levi will not read the report # 3 of Krivit, there is no reason why not. At this time the new report Galantini, I remember with pride to have been solicited by the passion of their readers of this blog, and already in the hands - as Smit...

By thinking about groups of people, and assuming they all have common motivations (a profoundly dehumanising approach that we call racism when applied to skin colour groups) you are doing precisely what you condemn others of doing. Actually I was making a point of human nature. It is common in our ...

This is why I am objective about Rossi. Yes, it is very, very likely he is wrong. But it is worth fully checking out. We cannot pretend that "mainstream" fusion researchers have no bias in attempting to prove or disprove his claims. Or bloggers for that matter. I can pretend that mainstream fusion ...

What does other evidence say about likelihood of Rossi being a fraud? I have been bothered by the possibility of “fraud” in big science and speculative energy research and development for a while now. This is a good time for me to get this aggravating chip removed from my shoulder. Let’s start with...

<snip>... I would believe that not well trained man can invent some device. Example – Mikhail Kalashnikov. But that device works on well known principles and only design is novelty. And what we see in Rossi’s case? As far as I can tell the fact that LENR/CF theory is not accepted by mainstream scie...

Slightly off topic but funny, this video was posted on Rossis blog and his FB site: Hitler Panics Over Rossi's Energy Catalyzer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uX0vcU4iedQ That is funny, but as I recall, Hitler's Germany and Franco's Italy were allies at the time. Don't you think that maybe Hitler's...

I am familiar with an advanced glass melting furnace where the powdered raw materials were injected onto a refractory cone for inertial separation from the gas, at a temperature of 1500C. The nozzle was made of copper. You obviously don't understand what happens at the boundary layer of a cooled me...

I doubt all the people involved with Rossi are trying to deceive. Doesn't make sense for his associates, at least, who will be professionally ruined if they are willfully involved in a scam. Rossi himself may be fooled. The most likely explanation that fits all the facts is that he is making incorre...
