An analogy may be made with the development of steam engines -- They were built long before the science of thermodynamics was developed -ne, it was
probably developed because of steam engines. After a few hundred people were killed with boiler explosions, strict requirements were instituted such as certifying boilermakers and requiring periodic hydrostatic testing of pressure vessels. List of boiler explosions <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_boiler_explosions> From: David Roberson [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Sunday, January 12, 2014 11:46 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Vo]:Basil Hiley Comments on Theoreticians and Experimental Science Axil, It is premature to worry about understanding how LENR operates. One day it might appear very simple and we wonder why we did not understand it earlier. One look at a microprocessor and you have to realize how complicated it is, but we know how to make them by the boat full now. My belief is that the same thing will happen with LENR, but with the exception that LENR is far simpler. The big concern that I have about LENR is whether or not it can be turned into a dangerous weapon. Again, it is premature to know the answer to this question, but that might be one reason why the government has seen it necessary to withhold funding since they know something that is not published. So for now, I think it is best to do our best to place this important technology into use. The complicated understanding will have to wait until later. My bet is that it is quite simple once you have the materials purified. Dave --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast! Antivirus protection is active. http://www.avast.com
