- I mentioned that some high energy pals of mine said GeV particles might be
- elusive. Tom Droege would have me speak close to the card, lest equivocation
- undo me, so let me rephrase that:
-
- In the cold fusion experiments that have been performed heretofore, with the
- instrumentation that has been used, in the manner in which it has deployed, GeV
- particles of the type and number we predict should occur may not have been
- readily detected. Even if said particles had been detected by the instruments,
- they might have been vetoed, or confused with some other particle or particles.
- This is not to suggest or imply that said particles could not easily be
- detected with the proper type of equipment, when such equipment is used in the
- prescribed manner by persons sufficiently skilled in the art of particle
- detection.
-
- By golly. I have been spending a lot time with the legal eagles, haven't I? Tom
- wanted to know who I talked to, but since I just asked them for a preliminary,
- informal reading on the subject, not a definitive opinion, let's let them mull
- it over and speak for themselves.

- In other news, Fleischmann went public in England and gave a talk at the
- something like an NAS meeting. I don't have the paper yet. We had a nice chat
- with him, he sounds like he is in good spirits. The BBC, Independent
- Television, and the British newspapers played it up pretty well. I think they
- called it the revival or rebirth of CF - I can't remember. My notes are in the
- other computer, which is undergoing a diskectomy and a DOSectomy. Tom suggests
- that computer errors, caused by alpha particles, may indicate that the NCM is
- correct. As far as I know, I am hundreds of miles from the nearest CF
- experiment, but I have had many hardware crashes lately, so it must be that
- anytime anybody anywhere runs a CF experiment, my computer dies. Ha! That
- proves the model definitively; these particles must be for real. They are
- mighty powerful, and they are aimed right at me! Yessir, we are going to expand
- this to be the NCM - ESP - CompuParanormalParanoia Model.
