Actually to know how ignorant we are- today we are trying to get an answer for the case of our LENR.

DAILY NOTES

My online project - discovering he principles on which LENR is based has to stat with two correlated questions:
a) How great is the field of LENR?
b) How much of this field have we already discovered?
These are not answerable questions in the strict sense but it is necessary to have some idea regarding the extent of LENR and the extent of our LENR ignorance. 
What I will try to suggest you I that both are now underestimated in a surprising measure. We are still in an initial stage in knowing, understanding, controlling LENR. 

You can ask a swarm of questions:

- Do we have an idea of the extent (complexity, diversity) of the field?
- Do we guess "how much" we know about the field?
- Do we know all the published data, info, knowledge in the field
- How great is the level of ignorance in the field- for the peak workers, knowers?
- In which degree the known things are "additive"?
- How far are we from "understand"? But from "manage technologically"?
- What's the ratio of explored/unexplored in  global LENR?

What we already know can be grasped and processed in some ways- what we do not know- known and unknown unknowns cannot be  anticipated. However, it is a problem of option- do you believe Problem Solving Rule No.5 or not?
NOT what we know, but what we don’t know is more important for solving the problem.

Based on my research experience I think the above rule is valid for LENR, however other LENR-ists as Edmund Storms say we have to focus on the known, certain and consistent data which already suffice for an basic understanding of the field,and if we do not know something about LENR the cause is that the very Rules of Science were not applied for LENR.
The map of LENR territory as imagined by me- an island with a part of swampy, low quality land discovered first not adequate for agriculture (LENR)  and an other part, rich fertile (LENR+) discovered very recently. We don't know a lot of things about LENR because its nature and also we are still very ignorant regarding the fine land- we just started to conquer it. The desired crop is Energy. I tend to consider that what is true and valid for the swampy land cannot be applied directly to the fertile one. And understanding based on partial knowledge will be less than partial.

THE BEST PROOF that LENR is mainly unexplored territory,copiously dominated by ignorance is the great number of disputes and their intensity- infight, very broad spectra of opinions in the most elementary problems, the very fragmented character of LENR knowledge.
Remember the Biblical story of how Truth became so fragmented in my FQXI essay:
http://fqxi.org/data/essay-contest-files/Gluck_essay.gluck1.pdf  ?

The already existent LENR truth fragments are parts of a great puzzle and if they are so obviously non-additive, not adjustable, not assemblable- - they are remote from each another and there is a lot to be discovered between the fragments.

My LENR project is about Principles- we have now sketched the 
Principle of Discovery: 
It is still a lot to be discovered, known, invented, created, build in the field of LENR
Much more than we usually think.
We can do it! To see the first real crop will be a formidable incentive!

Dear Andrea Rossi

Can you tell your readers

1. How many E-Cat X units are presently in operation?

2. What is the range of sizes, in designed power output, of E-Cat X units you have thus far constructed.

3. Have you tried any superconducting circuits with an E-Cat X unit thus far?

4. Is the E-Cat X R&D work occurring entirely in the U.S.?

5. Does the recent “loophole” discovery signficantly affect the theoretical work you have undertaken with Prof. Cook?

Thanks

Bob

If everything will go the way I hope with the tests on course ( all right also today at 08.47 a.m.) Leonardo Corporation will have initially two manufacturing facilities: one in the USA and one in Europe.

LENR IN CONTEXT-2

How People Learn to Become Resilient
BY MARIA KONNIKOVA

12 comments:

  1. Suppose 80% of reality is driven by LENR; where does that put professional science. Suppose the Sun and stars are driven by the LENR reaction and not by hot fusion: where does that put Cosmology? Suppose the LENR reaction adds mass to the universe rather than converting it to energy. Suppose chemistry can directly unlock the nuclear process, where does that put nuclear physics? What if LENR involves dark matter and dark energy?

    Peter asks two correlated questions:
    a) How great is the field of LENR?
    b) How much of this field have we already discovered?

    I ask, how rotten is professional science and its current view of the universe if science rejects LENR out of hand? And how much of a shock will science suffer when LENR is forced on it by reality? And how much scientific progress will be made when LENR is generally accepted by science?

    1. Axil, regardless that he declines to provide a real name, is correct in that the question of how rotten science is (and always has been) is the better question. But aside from complaining about science being rotten the better thing to do is to make science not so rotten. That starts with work in the open as anonymous comments are rarely useful, mostly counterproductive if not worse. All fields of science on the frontiers share a common characteristic and that is the pioneers in front count more arrows in their backs than in their fronts. Behind every true pioneer in science are found 100 shysters and pitchmen. Cold fusion has had and has its share of such, LENR has an even worse record.

    2. Science has such a huge inertia, it is likely that any single person can strive to turn this unwieldy juggernaut only slightly if at all. In the years since 2011, when the fame of Rossi first began to take hold, I have tried to popularize three important closely related LENR based concepts that I felt pivotal in the synthesis of LENR: the Surface Plasmon Polariton (SPP) and nanoplasmonics, metalized hydrogen, and the monopole flux tube. The origin of these concepts is not unique to me; I have only acted to highlight and sponsor them as foundational in LENR. Like so many others in this brotherhood of LENR, we can only hope that we can see the truth in our field of interest and inspire others to broaden and deepen that truth if those beliefs deserve such devotion.

  2. Hello Peter
    I find it interesting that you Compare LENR to swampy
    and fertile soil.When at the same time Mr Rossi is finishing
    up his ECat project near or in the Florida everglades.

    Enjoy your weekend

    1. Dear Sam,

      Pure coincidence believe me and it is not relevant wher that plant is. It is strange that in the er of Google and other Maps nobody has an idea where th IH plant is and what possible customers are in the area
      My guess as you know is an = macaroni factory- lots of heat for drying them well.
      greetings

      Peter

    2. Hello Peter
      Iggy Dalrymple who comments on ECat
      World and lives in Florida thinks it might
      be a cement plant somewhere in Dade
      county Florida that Rossi works at.
      You could compare LENR to the everglades.I found this in Wikipedia.
      Opinion about the value of Florida to the Union was mixed: some thought it a useless land of swamps and horrible animals, while others thought it a gift from God for national prosperity.[4] In 1838 comments in The Army and Navy Chronicle supported future development of southern Florida:

  3. It is inconceivable to me how LENRfolks give Andrea a free pass and suspend credulity.

    There is less than one chance in a million that AR will have something to report in MArch. He is now planning how not to release any information.

    My favorite scam is the secret customer. We should inspire a new computer game to address this persona.

    1. Hello Brian
      He is credible.
      He has investors backing him.
      He has Scientists supporting him.
      His year test successfull so far.
      He still has to show that he can
      make it a reliable and cheap energy.
      A.R. has said a 50 50 chance that
      he will be successful.
      I think his chances are better than that.
      Regards

  4. sAM, i AM IMPRESSED WITH YOUR CONFIDENCE IN ar. hOWEVER, HE FAILS AT EVERY STATEMENT. hE HAS BEEN CLAIMING copS OF ~6 ALL YEAR. He cannot fail now even if it goes negative!

    He cannot report any real data because he has not generated anything independently.

    There is no customer. There has never been a customer. The secrecy is just covering up his misdirection.

    I believe that NiH works and generates excess energy. My 2012 EPRI report testifies to that so I am not an enemy of LENR. Rossi is the enemy of truth, justice and the American way.

  5. Hello Brian
    I think he does things the American way.
    He thinks like a business man.
    Like A.R. says all that really matters
    is that in the end he comes up with a
    product that people will buy and be satisfied with.
