Dear Jed,
As a professional scientist I would like to take this
opportunity to thank you for you continued efforts to present a
balanced perspective on cold fusion. Since the January
announcement at the University of Bologna sparked my interest in
the topic, your library of CF literature has been an extremely
useful resource for me. I value your point of view and in my
estimation you have the mind of a true scientist regardless of your
formal training.
I am almost positive that there are thousands of interested
professionals following this issue who would echo my opinion if not
for the stigma associated with the subject under discussion.
Thanks again for your efforts.
I agree with this in many regards. Jed has a robust knowledge of
logic and the history and philosophy of science. Jed has made many
contributions to the LENR field, including his book:
http://www.lenr-canr.org/acrobat/RothwellJcoldfusiona.pdf
his editing and archiving the papers in lenr-canr.org, and
translation, editing and contributions to books and papers by Mizuno
and various other scientists.
Jed is a great advocate for the LENR field and goodness knows the
field is in need of advocacy. Like any good advocate though, his
approach in various debates has not been what would normally be
called balanced. I think that is all well and good, and it is
important to have energetic dialog on the important issues.
All of us who have personally invested much in the field owe Jed much
thanks for the decades of continuous good work and advocacy.
Thanks Jed!
Best regards,
Horace Heffner
