Deciding why CF was rejected is difficult because so many variables apply and each person only experienced part of the process. To start the evaluation, the basic reasons need to be acknowledged. Once the reasons are available, their importance needs to be determined. The importance of

I agree, Jed, with your description of human nature. I see this same behavior being applied by people even within the CF field. You would think they would not be prone to this behavior. But, as you note, humans are the same no matter the subject. Perhaps, this behavior is beneficial

I suggest we are not dealing only with creativity here. What passes for new ideas or creative thinking is more often nonsense or insane rambling. We are shocked by the rejection only when the idea is later found to be correct or is applied in a useful way. Most ideas that might be called

The challenge in understanding LENR and its eventual acceptance by mainstream science is that it is driven by a zoo of complex interacting quantum mechanical phenomena. In order to make any progress in LENR, original and out-of-the-box experimental techniques are required to provide a reliable

Thank you James. I would love to talk with Charles Beaudette and I will try to do that. He was at ICCF-18 and I wanted to talk with him, but unfortunately, since we ended up filming the entire set of lectures, the interviews were severely impacted. On 10/16/13 5:13 PM, James Bowery

Baudette's claim that the problem was primarily one of difference in scientific protocol between chemistry and physics must be respected given the depth of his research, however, he, himself, points to events like Oriani's rejection by the American editors of Nature early in 1990 as pivotal -- and

Hmm, I will have to look into this that you are describing. I can see how both issues could relate. My thesis so far is that it was the MIT and Caltech negative results which most influenced the APS, Nature magazine, the DoE report, and subsequently the USPTO. Both public and private
