this is an old tactic that Beaudette debunked. the physicist ignore voluntarily that heat above chemistry level is a nuclear ash.
maybe Jed can make a better historical perspective than me. as I've read, the chemist were so bad in particle detection, and physicist so bad in calorimetry, that since the physicist were assumed better, the chemist were assumed incompetent... nobody imagined that calorimetry is a job, and that physicist can make errors. 2014-10-09 2:02 GMT+02:00 Alan Fletcher <a...@well.com>: > I have to admit that it would be trivially easy for an apprentice magician > to construct a container into which you insert (say) white powder as "fuel" > and later on extract black powder as "ash". > > But the calorimetry stands. > > Pomp doesn't even denigrate the calorimetry : he just ignores it "Because > none of the measurements presented on the previous 26 pages matter ..." > >
