Re: [Vo]:So Rossi has a real Ph.D. obtained in 1975
I'm being told that Dottore Magistrale in Filosofia is the equivalent to a master's degree, and not to a Ph.D. Are there any Italian-speaking persons familiar with Italian research education here that could comment on this? -- Berke Durak

His advisor was Professor Ludovico Geymonat. So where does all this disinformation about Rossi being a chalatan with a fake PhD from a diploma mill coming from? -- Berke Durak

I'd have to look it up and it's not terribly important but Rossi's real PhD is in philosophy. He claimed at one time that he also had a physics PhD but it turned out to be from some diploma mill (phony school) in the US. That's well documented in several places.

It always seemed to me an honorary diploma from an university that later turned out to lose its accreditation, not that was phony. 2011/11/20 Mary Yugo maryyu...@gmail.com On Sun, Nov 20, 2011 at 8:56 AM, Berke Durak berke.du...@gmail.comwrote: So where does all this disinformation about Rossi being a chalatan with a fake PhD from a diploma mill coming from?

He told me it was purely honorary. He said some people gave it to him as a reward for some work he did . . . I do not recall the details. I think he knows nothing about the university. I told him it is a diploma mill. He said so what? He does not care. Rossi never sweats the details. - Jed
