If anyone could get through to Pelosi with a letter suggesting that

[Vo]:OT: Galaxy may be full of 'Earths,' alien life

[OrionWorks]

Sez cnn.com: "Galaxy may be full of 'Earths,' alien life"

See:

http://www.cnn.com/2009/TECH/space/02/25/galaxy.planets.kepler/index.html
http://tinyurl.com/chkcjc

Excerpt:

-
Researchers at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland constructed a
computer model to create a synthetic galaxy with billions of stars and
planets. They then studied how life evolved under various conditions
in this virtual world, using a supercomputer to crunch the results.

In a paper published recently in the International Journal of
Astrobiology, the researchers concluded that based on what they saw,
at least 361 intelligent civilizations have emerged in the Milky Way
since its creation, and as many as 38,000 may have formed.

Duncan Forgan, a doctoral candidate at the university who led the
study, said he was surprised by the hardiness of life on these other
worlds.

"The computer model takes into account what we refer to as resetting
or extinction events. The classic example is the asteroid impact that
may have wiped out the dinosaurs," Forgan said.

"I half-expected these events to disallow the rise of intelligence,
and yet civilizations seemed to flourish."

Forgan readily admits the results are an educated guess at best, since
there are still many unanswered questions about how life formed on
Earth and only limited information about the 330 "exoplanets" -- those
circling sun-like stars outside the solar system -- discovered so far.
-

Wonderin if this means individuals like my step mother's sighting of a
classic flying saucer hovering above her home in Newfoundland,
witnessed back in 1947, might actually be taken a little more
seriously.

Alas... probably not.

I have spoken with dozens of leading scientists and this is how they

Unfortunately, most of these supporters have no guts and they will 
not draft a letter to Pelosi or anyone else. A letter from a major 
scientist might just get through. A letter from me would go nowhere 
and would be a waste of time to write.


Here is an example of a recent letter from an influential scientist to me:

". . . I've seen some of the literature, including the papers 
presented at last year's Amer. Chem. Socy' mtg. It is vast. My 
impression is that the described results do not congeal around any 
common mechanism, nor any precise way to replicate the results. There 
may be something there. But maybe means, in my mind, probably not. 
When Science or Nature, or a new, third panel from the Nat'l Acad of 
Sciences say there is new physics involved, I'll get very interested. 
For now it looks more like a hobby - just my opinion - than science. . . ."


Below is part of my response back. He said nothing in return, which 
is what I expected. Such people never do respond.


". . . I know nothing about theory, but some theorists tell me that 
the results that have been most widely replicated, such as helium in 
the same ratio to the heat as plasma fusion, do congeal around common 
mechanisms. . . .


[Regarding Nature and Science] the editors at these journals have 
some peculiar and mistaken notions about cold fusion. I can send you 
copies of letters from them to illustrate what I mean, but it is 
unimportant. The important thing is that many scientific disputes 
have arisen and the editors of these particular journals have not 
always been on the winning side. . . .


[Regarding the "hobby" comment] . . . I think you should review the 
literature more carefully before arriving at that conclusion -- or 
any conclusion, positive or negative. Roughly $100 million has been 
devoted to this research worldwide, and roughly 2,000 professional 
scientists have published positive results. Some have devoted 20 
years to the research. They include many distinguished people such as 
the Chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission, Gov't of India. That 
does not sound like a hobby to me.


Bear in mind also that many of these results have been obtained at 
high s/n ratios. It is unlikely that hundreds of experts in 
calorimetry, x-ray detection, tritium detection, mass spectroscopy 
and other well established disciplines have all been making gigantic 
errors for 20 years, or that they are all lying. . . ."

Those are heavy words, Thomas. Such a statement causes me to wonder
how you are able to personally reconcile what is considered to be one
of G-d's most important commandments, which you clearly state is,
"love your fellow man as your self?" along with what I gather you seem

set things right in this world. Is it the point that you obviously
know it would be wrong of you to personally carry out such "blood
shed" - such as what the Nazis attempted to do to the Jews during
WWII? If this is a fairly accurate assumption on my part I find myself
wondering how you seem to presume that G-d CAN get away with
committing such "blood shed", but not only that, that such "Divine"
action would not be called an atrocity? Is it because He is the
ultimate Boss, and what the Boss sez and wantz ...the Boss getz?

The way you seem to be describing G-d's mysterious ways, I can't help
but point out something obvious: What kind of example is G-d setting

subjects to "Love thy neighbor as thyself", but then, G-d is allowed
not only to ignore but blatantly break his own rules and perform the
necessary "...blood shed" himself - presumably to set things right in

To me, such divine privilege does not come off as a perception of an

That is what the researchers tell me.

Most of them pay for the equipment themselves and work after hours. 
Some -- who shall remain nameless -- have equipment that is not, 
perhaps, fully authorized for the present purpose (it is

In any case, we are talking about dollar amounts smaller than 
sparrow's tears, as the Japanese say.


I am not saying that this is happening by accident, or neglect. It is 
deliberate. People such as Robert Park, Rep. Brad Miller and various 
federal officials work vigorously to prevent funding. However, I 
doubt that anyone high up in the administration is aware of what 
these people are up to. And there is no reason to think they know 
that cold fusion exists. They are bombarded with a million messages 
and I think there is little chance that any word  of cold fusion gets

[Jed Rothwell]

[Here is a message I sent to few people I know in the media, in 
response to Obama's speech.]


I support the president, but it pains me to see that this 
administration plans to spend hundreds of billions of dollars on 
alternative energy yet it will not allow a single Federal researcher 
to do a cold fusion experiment, not even for a few thousand dollars.


I think it is unlikely that Obama is aware of this situation, or that 
he or any of his cabinet members realize that cold fusion exists.


It is frustrating beyond words for me to know that the nation plans 
to spend trillions of dollars solving the energy crisis when a far 
better, far cheaper solution may be at hand.


Many experts in cold fusion say that we cannot know whether cold 
fusion will ever become practical and that it is far from being 
practical today. I disagree. While I cannot be sure, I believe it is 
closer to commercial practicality than most experts realize, but that 
it will take much more money than they anticipate: probably hundreds 
of millions of dollars. That estimate was made by Mike Melich and 
other experts at the NRL who have developed similar technology, using 
empirical methods.
