- I hope that the rest of Ying's stuff is more reliable than his history.
- Paneth and Peters observed no such thing. They THOUGHT for a while that this
- was what they observed, but as I have said before, they didn't trust their
- results and kept looking for errors, and found them. So what they actually
- observed was not the production of helium, but the ingress of helium into
- their cell through the glass walls, which had become more helium-permeable
- because of the hydrogen present.
- Today's cold fusion researchers do not seem to operate like that, with only
- a few notable exceptions like Tom Droege. Others do not seem too eager to try
- to prove themselves wrong, leaving that to others who, however, do not have all
- the experimental facts at their disposal. I have been waiting for a thorough
- look at FPALH-90, and it seems it has appeared at last. I'll be getting hold
- of it the next few days, and will report on it.
