<div dir="ltr">Dear Joseph, <div><br></div><div>Re Low Temperature Nuclear Reactions (LTNR) - a.k.a. 'Cold Fusion' </div><div>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. </div><div><br></div><div>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. </div><div><br></div><div>Brian Josephson has excellent scientific horse sense and his bets always pan out. </div><div>Please don't underrate him, as so many less visionary colleagues do. </div><div><br></div><div>Kind regards, </div><div><br></div><div>Alex Hankey </div><div><br></div><div>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. </div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 12 July 2016 at 20:36, Joseph Brenner <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:joe.brenner@bluewin.ch" target="_blank">joe.brenner@bluewin.ch</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><u></u>

<div><font face="Arial" size="2">Dear FIS Colleagues,</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2"></font> </div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2">As I have noted on other occasions, Brian Josephson
deserves our respect for his fundamental discoveries in solid-state physics (the
Josephson junction). Unfortunately, a subsequent foray into physics - his
alleged demonstration of cold nuclear fusion - was a fraud.</font></div>
<div> </div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2">Despite the prestigious venue of this current
effort, in my opinion, it faithfully reproduces every weakness and instance of
circular reasoning and binary thinking that is hampering progress in
understanding reality, its relations and the origin of meaning. I get incensed
at the repetition that it is algorithms that must be used to better understand
biological systems. I, as well as many others, have never believed that nature
was meaningless but that the process of meaning had to be defined carefully to
avoid hand-waving nonsense.</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2"></font> </div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2">Without the necessary grounding in physics, which
Josephson's references do not seem to provide (please correct me here), the term
used by Josephson of 'entangled intra-relating' is empty. To say that reality
and image are different but connected, a pipe and an image of a pipe, is not
incorrect but trivial. The connections are, exactly,
<em>non-</em>interactive, without energy exchange.</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2"></font> </div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2">If someone can point to a single new and valid
statement that Josephson has made that adds to our understanding of nature and
biological organization, perhaps he/she could point it out.</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2"></font> </div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2">Thank you and best wishes,</font></div>
