MOTTO
We aren’t encouraged to think for ourselves and ask questions. We are expected to accept what they teach us as infallible truths. (Raquel Cepeda)
A common fallacy in much of the adverse criticism to which science is subjected today is that it claims certainty, infallibility and complete emotional objectivity. It would be more nearly true to say that it is based upon wonder, adventure and hope.
(Cyril Norman Hinshelwood)
It is perplexing to see the flexibility of the so-called 'exact sciences' which by cast-iron laws of logic and by the infallible help of mathematics can lead to conclusions which are diametrically opposite to one another. (Vasco Ronchi)
Nominally a great age of scientific inquiry, ours has become an age of superstition about the infallibility of science; of almost mystical faith in its non-mystical methods; above all—which perhaps most explains the expert's sovereignty—of external verities; of traffic-cop morality and rabbit-test truth. (Louis Kronenberger)
DAILY NOTES
a) I have tried to write today about the problem "inerrancy and infallibility in LENR" I have tried to find the best quotations- difficult because so many are about the Bible. Then I have found more than a dozen and I kept four as you can see.
I have to confess that the quotes have had a depressive effect upon me, I am educated and auto-educated to believe in the principial omnipotence and in the asymptotic omniscience of our
Science- especiallly Physics- and - in a smaller degree - in the quasi-inerrancy and almost-infallibility of some great scientists and experts. Then I have abandoned the idea- better let's search for some relatively good news.
I have to swallow the idea that even geniuses can err re LENR and LENR+- horrible!
A small glass of hyper-bitter Unicum would help- the most effective appetizer worldwide..

Pekka Janhunen:
Your argument is possibly right and it respects the common sense of classical physics.
This is why we have to sustain our theory on the base of the data of the experiments and a rigorous system of advanced mathematical models.
Before we reach that level, you maybe correct and we wrong. Nevertheless, the quantum mechanical view of Feynman opens different perspectives. Feynman argument with regard to atomic (electron) physics is that all virtual states have a brief reality because of the uncertainty principle. Classically, all the excited states should not be real unless the necessary excitation energy is received from somewhere. Especially for nucleons, excitation energies of several MeV should be too high to allow the excited states to occur. But Feynman and the other developers of the QED have shown that “impossibly high energy ” excited states for electrons need to be included in the calculation of the probabilities of atomic states. The more virtual states that are included, the more accurate is the model result ( and that is why the QED is so accurate, but so hard to understand).
Classically, that is crazy and in his books Feynman has made a point of saying that their QED results “erode common sense” (e.g. p. 119, QED: The strange theory of light and matter, 1985).
That is to say, although the common sense conservation of energy tells us that the higher energy excited states should not affect the lower energy electron ( or nucleon) transitions, the quantum mechanical view that Feynman defends is that all of the virtual states are briefly “rel” within the time constraints of the uncertainty principle.
Generally, that means for nucleons that many higher energy states do exist simultaneously for a few femtoseconds ( lower energy nuclear excited states can exist for picoseconds or nanoseconds or even for milliseconds, but the principle is the same).
Is Feynman correct to say that “nobody understands QM” (p.9)? Maybe not, but if the uncertainty principle

LOCALISED ENERGY CONCENTRATION

Abstract
A method of producing a localised concentration of energy includes: creating a shockwave propagating through a non-gaseous medium so as to be incident upon a boundary between the non-gaseous medium and a gaseous medium formed by at least one hole in a barrier separating the non-gaseous medium from a gaseous medium. This forms a transverse jet on the other side of the hole which is incident upon a target surface comprising a depression which is spaced from the barrier in the gaseous medium. An apparatus for producing a localised concentration of energy is also described.

To Pekka Janhunen:
ReplyDeleteI can't help thinking that was extremely cheap.
Extremely cheap should translate into an "extremely large number of satisfied customers." That is what is deeded.
ReplyDeleteLudwik Kowalski (see Wikipedia).
Interesting the quote from Raquel Cepeda. I think that the quote underlines well the main source of probletence.
