reply to post by Byrd
Hi Byrd, first thanks for your reply and input.
Can you explain to me (I'm confused here) about the repression? As far as I can tell, they were allowed to write any paper they liked, publish
books, and even had corporations funding their controversial research.
You are not the only one that is confused, that includes me also.
I will try to explain it. Here is a Quote from my first post here by "Suppressed
Scientists".
Establishment science has thus gotten into the habit of ignoring, burying or suppressing what has now become astonishing amounts of anomalous
evidence.
Let´s take for example Stanley Pons and Martin Fleischmann. As mentioned on "Suppressed Scientists".
Fleischmann–Pons experiment
Events preceding announcement.
In 1988, Fleischmann and Pons applied to the United States Department of Energy for funding towards a larger series of experiments. Up to this
point they had been funding their experiments using a small device built with $100,000 out-of-pocket.[21]
The grant proposal was turned over for peer review, and one of the reviewers was Steven E. Jones of Brigham Young University.[21] Jones had
worked for some time on muon-catalyzed fusion, a known method of inducing nuclear fusion without high temperatures, and had written an article on the
topic entitled "Cold nuclear fusion" that had been published in Scientific American in July 1987. Fleischmann and Pons and co-workers met with Jones
and co-workers on occasion in Utah to share research and techniques. During this time, Fleischmann and Pons described their experiments as generating
considerable "excess energy", in the sense that it could not be explained by chemical reactions alone.[20] They felt that such a discovery could bear
significant commercial value and would be entitled to patent protection. Jones, however, was measuring neutron flux, which was not of commercial
interest.[21] In order to avoid problems in the future, the teams appeared to agree to simultaneously publish their results, although their
accounts of their March 6 meeting differ.
Now this "Neutron-Flux", was not of commercial value because further study must been done, or better said further research. That´s why
Jones,Fleischmann and Pons, decided to publish their works simultaneously. In other words their work was not ready for "Commercial-Use".
Announcement
Fleischmann and Pons, however, pressured by the University of Utah which wanted to establish priority on the discovery,[23] broke their
apparent agreement, submitting their paper to the Journal of Electroanalytical Chemistry on March 11, and disclosing their work via a press conference
on March 23.[21] Jones, upset, faxed in his paper to Nature after the press conference.
The University of Utah pressured Fleischmann and Pons, to publish their work,without taking in consideration the "Neutron-Flux"cause further study
must been done. In other words it was "Repressed". Now why would the University of Utah pressured them?? I would say "Money", or better said
"Funding".
Response and fallout
In April 1989, Fleischmann and Pons published a "preliminary note" in the Journal of Electroanalytical Chemistry.[19] This paper notably
showed a gamma peak without its corresponding Compton edge, which indicated they had made a mistake in claiming evidence of fusion byproducts.[34][35]
Fleischmann and Pons replied to this critique.[36] The preliminary note was followed up a year later with a much longer paper that went into details
of calorimetry but did not include any nuclear measurements.[20] Nevertheless, Fleischmann and Pons and a number of other researchers who found
positive results remained convinced of their findings.[27]
In the ensuing years, several books came out critical of cold fusion research methods and the conduct of cold fusion researchers.[47] Up to today,
the scientific community continues to maintain a skeptical consensus with regards to the subject due to the seeming lack of experimental
reproducibility[48] and cold fusion's theoretical implausibility.[49] New experimental claims are routinely dismissed or ignored by mainstream
scientists and journals
That´s why the "Suppressed-Scientists" concludes that also victims of this phenomenon includes world-class scientists such as Jacques Benveniste,
Peter Duesberg, Halton Arp, Stanley Pons and Martin Fleischman".
(silly aside: I'd love it if someone would repress me like they have Fleischmann and give me a job at Berkeley! Quick! Suppress me!!
Please!!!)
Yeah, "Suppress" brings enough publicity. I agree.
Peace
