Bill Collis will phone Francesco Celani and ask him what he thought. I
expect Bill will upload or circulate a report today or tomorrow. I will
pass on whatever I hear.
I am feeling mighty blase about this. Even I find it so hard to believe,
it makes no impact. I am busy making tedious changes to LENR-CANR.org,
adding a list of ICCF conferences and papers, while I field occasional
reports about the press conference.
I -- along with Cousin Peter -- have been hoping for something like this
for nigh-on 20 years. I have been expecting it. Yet I am not thrilled. I
guess I will have to hear from Francesco and a few others, with some
more technical details, before I can believe it. Or start to believe it.
It will be a multi-step process.
I suppose my sense of disbelief is how the skeptics feel toward all cold
fusion reports. Now I know how they feel. I guess I can also understand
why, in 1908, after Wilbur Wright flew in Europe and made headlines all
over the Continent, people in America ignored the press reports and knew
nothing about the event for weeks.
I guess I should start being more respectful to Rossi despite the weird
name of his blog and his incoherent patent. You cannot judge a book by
its cover.
