William we live in the century of new believes - ceremony each day in
the Church of standard model physics.
Today we can show that most aspects of standard model physics are plain
vanilla nonsense math and can only be used for engineering. But this is OK!
The problem is the followers of the SM church are more rigid than
scientology or the China "communist" (mafia) party. These folks are
brain washed and believe to be the elected ones. They not even think
about reading what we write.
I stopped to publish any progress in new physics and once we have a
working LENR reaction we just will tell them where the grave yard is.
This is reality. Any product based and designed with new physics will
bring them down faster than endless rants & discussions.
I expect a working LENR reactor within the next 2 years. This will be
end of standard model/ITER/CERN and much more.

Irrational semi-religious belief-systems are the obvious issue.
"LENR is for fools, transmutation outside of conventional MeV
reactions just demonstrates incompetence or dishonesty."
Once a researcher (or a whole academic department, or an entire
research community) has spoken the above phrase, they cannot go back.
Their skepticism is no longer skepticism. Their admitting error is no
longer admitting error: if they turn out to be wrong, it requires
confronting the fact that they've joined the "bad guys," and they've
been actively halting progress in the sciences. (When careers are on
the line, truth doesn't matter, and such a thing must be resisted at
any cost ...on pain of public embarrassment, or career- destruction,
or even on pain of death, because "If P&F turned out to be correct,
then I'd have to go out and slit my own throat." )
slightest. There are any number of carbon arc configurations that
produce
elemental transmutation of carbon to iron. I have done this repeatedly
"Your carbon was obviously contaminated by iron! Which became concen-
trated by orders, as all the carbon exits the arc as CO2!!!"
Yeah right, so we don't even consider using ultra-pure spectrographic
rods (which display no detectable Fe emission lines in the first
place.) Instead we arc-transmute the far purer plasma-grown pyro
graphite. But that doesn't matter, since 1) we'd just be accused of
intentional hoaxes and 2) no reputable researcher would ever replicate
this simple test, because if they demonstrated LENR, it would convert
them into Believer- crackpots.
myself. The last time, years ago, I used spectroscope grade carbon
rods to
make sure of lack of contamination. And yes, you get magnetically
separable
particles as a result. For those who are wont to believe this must be
some
sort of magnetic pyrolytic graphite, it's easy to test chemically
proving
that these particles are indeed iron. Just dissolve in dilute
sulfuric acid,
and react with potassium ferricyanide. If you get that characteristic
Prussian blue color, it's iron. Case closed.
I'm still tempted to try the other one: that Kervran science-fair
experiment. But I'm not sure that faculty here would dare allow it.
That's the version with two quartz sample tubes containing identical
water and seeds, one then sprouted, both converted to ash, then
elemental- analyze the ash (which should be identical, but supposedly
the sprouted-seed ash displays extra elements.) A few ICP
spectrometers here, and piles of mass-specs, so, not difficult to
eliminate artifacts associated with any one test method. But if it
works, then UW chem department becomes the new P&F, who'd originally
heard rumors of some obscure crackpot claim involving hydrogen and
platinum, and discovered that it was real, to their everlasting
chagrin. And credit.
These are the same bunch who will discredit this simple experiment
until their dying breath, no matter how incontrovertible it is.
The ones who refuse Galileo's Telescope, we simply wait for them to die.
Then their students (or more probably, after generations) their
students' students' students quietly accept the results, since after
all, they've been hearing about Cold Fusion ever since they learned to
read, and clearly no sane researcher ever objected to CMNS, so what's
the big deal?
It's not individuals who follow the dishonest face-saving procedure
below, it's also the entire scientific community as a whole...
"Theories have four stages of acceptance:
1. this is worthless nonsense
2. this is an interesting, but perverse, point of view
3. this is true, but quite unimportant
4. I've always said so."
- J.B.S. Haldane, 1963
