AUG 30, 2016 LENR'S STRANGE EXCEPTIONALISM AND UNIQUENESS.

MOTTO



This Motto goes with/for the blog issue of yesterday

And this quotation- I simply like it! It shows the beauty, elegance and expressiveness of the English language.




The concepts discussed today-  Exceptionality and Uniqueness applied to LENR must be extracted from and cleaned of their political and anthropomorphic backgrounds. Actually this is not quite possible, so better is to anthropomorphic LENR.

Exceptionality

To create something exceptional, your mindset must be relentlessly focused on the smallest detail. (Giorgio Armani)

Something remarkable is worth talking about. Worth noticing. Exceptional. New. Interesting. It's a Purple Cow. (Seth Godin)


Ordinary people believe only in the possible. Extraordinary people visualize not what is possible or probable, but rather what is impossible. And by visualizing the impossible, they begin to see it as possible. (Cherie Carter-Scott)

Uniqueness

One of the greatest regrets in life is being what others would want you to be, rather than being yourself. (Shannon L. Alder)

Absurdity and anti—absurdity are the two poles of creative energy. (Karl Lagerfeld)

Dare to Differ (Matthew Goldfinger)

The precision of naming takes away from the uniqueness of seeing. (Pierre Bonnard0
The greatness of art is not to find what is common but what is unique. (Isaac Bashevis Singer)

Everyone is handed adversity in life. No one's journey is easy. It's how they handle it that makes people unique. (Kevin Conro)


DAILY NOTES

a) Ed Storms about the root cause of LENR's troubles

The root cause of our troubles has no relationship to science. The root cause is psychological.  Rational thinking is a rare ability. Most decisions about all subjects are based on emotions with the rational arguments being used as justification.  Science has allowed knowledge to grow because it tries to focus on the rational argument based on what is observed, not on imagination driven by emotion.  Unfortunately, present understanding of LENR is still based on emotion, not on science.  This conclusion is easily justified simply by noting the level of animosity and insult used in the discussions and when theory papers are peer reviewed.  No one has achieved the respect and trust required to change minds. Everyone believes they are right regardless of their obvious ignorance.  Normally, conflicts are resolved in science by debate with a respected referee being present. This referee can be a person in a company or a professor at a university who has the authority to focus attention on the facts.  The LENR field does not have a person with such authority.  Consequently, the LENR discussions are not scientific. They are more like a political or religious discussion that uses the vocabulary of physics. I see no progress or change until the subject enters mainstream science and is taught in university.  Until then, the discussions are a waste of time without an effective understanding being possible. That, I suggest, is the root of our problems.

b) The exceptionality and uniqueness of LENR.

In the frame of the recent discussions about the true identity and basic nature of LENR, I want now to meditate and discuss about the Exceptionality and even the Uniqueness of our field.
Actually, exceptionality and uniqueness are just other names for what I called Otherness - the first pillar of six in my model:
http://egooutpeters.blogspot.ro/2014/12/the-six-pillars-of-lenr-text-peter.html
this can be named also extraordinary or unusual or special but for  the sake of truth, of science and  the future- never Anomalous!

In fact my model is confronting an opposite one, that of Pd D is genuine and says it all
see please the definitory features

MY 6 PILLARS OF LENR MODEL    THE PdD IS THE KEY-  MODEL 

OTHERNESS                                     SAMENESS
COMPLEXITY                                    SIMPLICITY
DIVERSITY                                        SIMILARITY               
DYNAMICITY                                     STATICITY
METAMORPHOSIS                            STEADINESS
CREATIVITY                                       STANDARD

I think that simply comparing the acronyms of the two models- OCDDMC vs SSSSSS
you can get a feeling of their relative degrees of interestingness. You know, Freeman Dyson and I have stated independently that we are living in the most interesting of all possible worlds.  

NOTE. I will continue to write about the exceptionality and unicity of LENR but now I do not want to interfere with Ed's opinion paper- please tell him what do you think about the root cause of our LENR troubles.

Mr Andrea Rossi:
Why has been necessary a 1 year test for the 1 MW Ecat, considering that the Lugano test already had supplied the proof of concept?

Augustus Cofer:
These tests have been two completely different things. The Lugano test, funded by the Swedish Royal Academy of Science and by Elforsk, has been an independent scientific test, without any commercial involvement and the object of the test was a Hot Cat which worked with a surface temperature of 1573 K and over. The Hot Cat is not yet a commercial product. On the contrary, the 1 year test has been a commercial test, made along a protocol described in a commercial/industrial contract; the object of the 1 year test was a low temperature E-Cat rated 1 MW of power, not a Hot Cat rated 3 kW of power. Being a completely new and revolutionary product, a test of at least one year has been agreed upon by the parties that signed the related contract.
Warm Regards,
A.R.

Dear Andrea Rossi,

considering the many variables we must consider (technical, legal, political) and consequently the difficulty in being precise in predictions, may you now make a schedule of upcoming major deadlines in the long road of E-Cat?

I’m sure that on certain issues you will be forced to repeat yourself, but I think it is interesting to have an overall timing pattern that reflects your feelings today. Obviously without obligation . . .

Thanks so much,

Eugenio

Eugenio Mieli:
1- continue the manufacturing of the industrial plants: NOW
2- complete the R&D of the QuarkX to sell the first unit: within 2016
3- presentation of the QuarkX prototype: within 2016
4- start massive production of the E-Cats in the USA and in Sweden: 2017- 2018
Thank you for your attention,
Warm Regards,
A.R.
