That’s why there has been no follow up to this blunderously awesome “experiment” in eight years,
***well, that must mean the vast majority of science is populated with guys like you, who prefer to act disdainfully rather than publish a retort to an experiment that is SO OBVIOUSLY wrong.

but don’t worry; some LENR researcher will no doubt be selling an “Einstein Was Wrong Relativity Generator®” any day now, for just $1 million per unit.
***It looks like I don’t need to worry about science losing its arrogance, either, huh? When there’s so many guys like you who have such vast knowledge and deem themselves worthy to denigrate others who are so much stupider than you. Nope, we can’t expect such arrogant bass turds to actually publish such a retort, to investigate it, to educate the public even after sucking off the guvmint teat their entire soul-sucking careers. Like you did. No, we can’t expect scientists to do their jobs. But we CAN expect them to act like unsufferable jerks and to cross thread boundaries on a conservative website so they can look SO EDUCATED. Yup, that’s about what we can expect from guys like you.

So, since you’re so educated, so smart, and so arrogant, it should be so easy for you to explain how large this effect should be when they set about measuring it. For instance, if it should show up as a milliwatt-level observation and they’re not seeing it except in the... uhh, femto(?)watt range, why is that? Well, smarty pants?

And while you’re at it, why is it that the F-P anomalous Heat effect that you so denigrate has been REPLICATED more than 14,000 times? Well, yerup, smart guy. Try to avoid all those freshman level logical fantasies you’ve been so famous for.

Your problem is that you don't know when to pick your battles.

Most experiments aren't published, because they turn out to be wrong. Most experiments that contradict established theory are wrong. Almost all experiments that contradict a theory that has been around since 1892 are wrong. Why? Because the theory published in 1892 was designed to account for an existing mass of experimental data, and no experiment since then until this one has produced this large an effect.

So what is the most prudent course of action? Not to say that a theory is wrong that parallels James Clerk Maxwell's unification of electricity and magnetism, which was put on an even firmer footing by the special theory of relativity and an even firmer basis by the general theory of relativity and -- I should not need to tell you this but I will - thousands of experiments before and since. The prudent course of science is not to say those thousands of experiments are wrong and this ONE experiment is correct, but to assume, in fact, the opposite: That this experiment is a fluke, published by overzealous researchers who apparently didn't realize that if the effect claimed were really this large we would have hell to pay all over interstellar and intergalactic space.

This effect, if real, would be seen in the large structure of the universe and isn't. Because you see, even though "Experiment Trumps Theory®, Amen" Reality trumps BAD experiments.
