Maybe you are not getting it, but that is exactly what I am stating.Axil wrote:Brian David Josephson, (born 4 January 1940; Cardiff, Wales) is a Welsh physicist. He became a Nobel Prize laureate in 1973 for the prediction of the eponymous Josephson Effect.
As far as Josephson is concerned, the proof is in the pudding.I disagree with your statement that the mechanism is what counts. Take for example aspirin. This was used as a drug long before the mechanism was understood -- what mattered was that it cured your headache or whatever. Similarly with the Rossi reactor, as long as it produces cheap energy, that is what is primarily important.
The proof is in the pudding and the problem here is that there is no pudding for now, not even an half baked cake!
That is of course unless you WANT to blindly believe him, but that is not part of my nature, so I will wait until October to judge him the Einstein of the 21st century or yet another failure.
