For me the most shocking case is about Semmelweis and before him Alexander Gordon de Aberdeen. http://www.antimicrobe.org/h04c.files/history/Lancet%20ID-Alexander%20Gordon%20puerperal%20sepsis%20and%20modern%20theories%20of%20infection%20control%20Semmelweis%20in%20perspective.pdf The most shocki

In the world aptly described where, science progresses funeral by funeral, this was an observation about the naysayers, not the innovators. The rare innovator and their innovations are lost funeral by funeral and there is no tally of the numbers and importance of the losses inflicted upon this worl

Dear Andrew, Thank you for contacting me again and thank you to Bob Cook for having helped. As I told you I think that there are a lot of convergences in our thinking .I appreciate your point of view seeking for new ways on basis of pertinent knowledges which are not challenged by the scientifi

I would like to put some perspective on the Mel Miles presentation. 1.No radiation accompanied the He-4 2. The excess energy was about 100 milliwattsWatts for several hours 3. The background He-4 was ~ 5pm 4. The measured He-4 was only 5 ppB ! 5. The diffusion rates of He-4 through the walls w

Robin— This is the first time I have heard that Mills (or anyone else) thinks mass changed into energy causes the Universe’s expansion. In General Relativity it would be like changing the space from a positive curvature to a negative curvature (I think) at all points—that would explain the o

Bob Thanks for agreeing. I also think there is conflict between what bureaucrats want and what experimenters want. Experimenters want to do an experiment and get new results and then have the theory changed. But  bureaucrats want is to keep things the same and not change things; i.e. they don
