Thats like the famous quote from Arthur C. Clarke that states "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic."

Originally skeptical, Arthur C. Clarke came to believe that something was going on with CF.

You can also see in the video (link below) Clarke and others make the case that something is producing excess energy, though admitting that theoretical explanation fails because of lack of knowledge.

(The video says its by "UFO TV" but I think they may have purchased rights to an existing video, though I don't know).

If I've not misread it, this is what Rossi says too and he can't get the theoretical bit sorted out. If he has succeeded or not I can not tell but I do applaud his efforts. Unlike you he has the means and the guts to have a serious go for it, instead of entertaining a impossible attitude.

However this is something of great importance to understand. I do not believe our laws of thermodynamics will survive in their current iteration if we are to reach the next level. Nano engineering for example if we are to get there will require vast amounts of energy and we need to master the atom if we are to build with atoms. If you are really into science, expansion of knowledge tends to not quell questions but raise more of them. Which in turn demand more knowledge in order to be answered. It's a hopeless cycle which is seemingly infinite however I tend to believe that we in this situation would be limited by our own capacity to understand the universe. It would be a shame to let it end at this point, don't you all agree?

 :confused: ... Well I'm not making any claims one way or another, nor do I entertain an attitude that CF is necessarily impossible (if that comment was directed at me  :D ). I was just providing links to an article and video about people who appear to have sufficient credentials to at least consider their claims that something is happening with the so-called CF, though they do not know precisely what causes it. Time will tell. One thing's for sure, billions have been poured into hot fusion, and it'd be nice to know when that will go commercial...

Ironically, we are safe as long as the reaction continues and it is self regulating. It is when the solar core runs out of hydrogen that we should really start to worry. Want to see some real global warming? wait till our little dwarf turns into a red giant.
