The SCP moderator, John Farrell, shut down the following discussion thread:
"China/NASA/antigravity and LENR" when discussion about Rossi started to heat up. Looks like a couple of SCP members appear to be challenging Dr. Mills' stalwart skepticism of Rossi's work. Not to be deterred, Dr. Mills posted the following conviction: "I predict that every report that Rossi puts out will be positive. Of course, no details will be given allowing anyone including me to test it. It is concealed because ECAT doesn't produce a fusion reaction and it doesn't make power, just consumes line power." - R. Mills https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/SocietyforClassicalPhysics/conversations /messages/3631 So, there you have it from "The Doctor". It would appear that discussion on Rossi and LENR started to heat up as a result of recent claims that the long-overdue independent report is eminent. Mr. Farrell closed the discussion down with the following statement: "OK. I've let the China/NASA/antigravity posts drag on for a while. At this point, I think the discussion of this topic has reached a point where further data is required before any conclusions can be drawn. So, I don't intend to approve more posts on this topic until new info comes out. I feel the same way about LENR. "I find the posts about the absorption and emission of photons and the new BlackLight Power Wiki site more interesting and more productive. Furthermore, I think these topics are more enlightening to anyone interested in classical physics. " John Farrell, Moderator https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/SocietyforClassicalPhysics/conversations /messages/3636 I though John Farrell handled the matter reasonably well. It's probably what I would have done if I had been in his shoes trying to "moderate" a moderated group that is supposed to focus on GUT-CP topics. I remain very much interested in listening to what Dr. Mills has to say about recent developments at BLP. In the meantime I do my best to gain a better layman's understanding of GUT-CP. I'm happy to report Dr. Mills has actually engaged me in some of my elementary GUT-CP inquiries. On that matter, I recently initiated discussion on the subject of small Red Dwarf stars that are about 10% the mass of our own sun. I conjectured on whether might it be possible we will eventually discover some dwarfs that possess unusually high helium concentrations. If such small dwarfs could be discovered it would suggest their ages are several hundred billion years old. It would be an astonishing contradiction of the age of the Universe as currently taught. Assuming they do exist, I think it likely that such a discovery would put a big wooden stake in the heart of the Big Bang theory. I appreciate Dr. Mills' willingness to occasionally mingle with the small folk who reside in the peanut gallery. I don't mind it that he often doles out terse commentary that typically ends with "...read Chapter.. " for more details. These are Dr. Mills' areas of expertise, and why repeat yourself when you've already written it down. I'm happy that I'm occasionally allowed to engage in some intriguing inquiry with "The Doctor". Unfortunately, I'm less inclined to listen to Dr. Mills' commentary on Rossi and LENR. I don't think these are his areas of expertise. It's one thing to express honest skepticism about someone else's work, including potential competitors like Rossi. It's quite another matter, however, to feel the need to engage in a continuous string of predictions that claim only failure to produce anything of scientific value from LENR research or Rossi's work will occur. IMHO, the need to make such predictions is likely to boomerang back on Dr. Mills' in unpleasant ways. He may not appreciate the publication of some of such eccentricities and blind spots later in his life when I truly hope he gains world-wide celebrity status for having brought cheap energy to the masses. I sometime think Dr. Mills needs a handler, just as much as Rossi does. Regards, Steven Vincent Johnson svjart.orionworks.com zazzle.com/orionworks
