Everybody is getting in on the scam.
That's how science works - you pt it out there and see if anyone can break it.
Also, the author is French.
“I tried to get on the global warming bus but it was full, so I theorized cold fusion.”
Precisely. Build working hardware with provable energy output, or shut the heck up.
“In theory there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice there is.” -—Yogi Berra
Here we go again!..............
Lyndon LaRouche had cold fusion beat back in the mid 80’s.
“I made a major theoretical breakthrough in the field of “energy creation”.”
I find it hard to believe a “scientist” would be ignorant of the fact that energy cannot be created. Where did this guy get his degree? A crackerjack box?
Where’s Kevmo?
Last I remember, Rossi was going to release a cold fusion home unit, and Kevmo was babbling about seagulls.
Many perfect, tiny cold fusion power plants have been invented and built, but creatures from outer space, with the aid of establishment physicists, have plotted, schemed and stolen all of them before production.
;-)
I don’t know... what kind of scientist doesn’t know about conservation of energy?
My 1975 Mercury Monarch has run on nothing more than water for all of these years, and no one will listen! It’s a conspiracy, I tell ya!
Yeah, this guy seems to have the scientific method backwards. Without experimental evidence, he can’t even have a “theory”. At best, he has a hypothesis, and hypotheses are a dime a dozen.
Good reason not to fly in an Airbus plane. You might be the proof that it does not fly.
Yes. One thing that did occur to me as I was writing my first post is that French usage in this matter (I'm not aware of international variation) seems to be closer to the "British" than to the "American."
I don't know just how much influence that fact has here, though. In other words, maybe French usage influenced him to choose the British style, maybe he meant to use the American style but used something closer to French--or maybe his French background didn't matter much here.
My main message (directed not mainly at you but in general) is broader than his example:
Placing the period outside quotation marks does happen in respectable English-language writing in other countries. Someone from Britain may even wonder if the American style is "proper." I tend to use the American style simply because it's what I know and most of my readers know; I've heard the British style called "more logical," and I can see why.
Where’s Kevmo?He was banned for being such an ass.
He still (or did last time I looked) post on the various Cold Fusion fanboy sites.
The funniest bit is that he claims he was banned from FR because he was too conservative, and Jim Robinson and the rest are a bunch of Leftists.
BTW, Rossi is still peddling his scam. Still no signs of a credible partner or customer, and still no signs of a working gadget outside of his "garage".
Kevmo tugged on Superman’s (Jim Robinson) cape, and he was converted into a smoking chunk of carbon.
Without Kevmo’s almost daily breathless updates, I have no idea what’s going on with Rossi.
