[Fis] Biological Organisation as the True Foundation of Reality

Dear Joseph,

Re Low Temperature Nuclear Reactions (LTNR) - a.k.a. 'Cold Fusion'
I beg to inform you that our university has one of many groups worldwide
experimenting with a form of the Rossi reactor and we regularly see excess
heat production of the order of 1kW - we have repeated it many times. Over
five groups report the same thing, and off-the-shelf systems are now on
sale, and can be used to obtain basic engineering data.

One of our team was an editor of last year's special issue of 'Current
Science', which thoroughly reviewed the whole field. I suggest you read it
before making more comments. Its various articles explain how and why the
experiments testing the original findings of Fleischman and Pons failed to
do so, and did not acknowledge important aspects of their own findings. The
whole episode is a shameful story of scientific prejudice of the kind that
leads to the excesses of 'Scientism' - know-alls from top ten universities
like my own alma matas who insist that science has already discovered
everything of fundamental significance.

Brian Josephson has excellent scientific horse sense and his bets always
pan out.
Please don't underrate him, as so many less visionary colleagues do.

Kind regards,

Alex Hankey

P.S. As an Fis member you will have seen my own contributions, particularly
in April/May. Could one ever have foreseen such extraordinary developments
made possible by a new perspective on complexity biology?.Similarly for
LTNR / CN. The world contains many possibilities the scientific mind has
yet to fathom.
