Mi sono imbattutto oggi in ^questo#www.lenr-canr.org/acrobat/Scaramuzzitenyearsof.pdf^ documento che ritengo davvero valido. Francesco Scaramuzzi e' stato un ricercatore Ff della prima ora la cui serieta' e competenza non e' mai stata messa in discussione (nemmeno dai detrattori della FF).
Il documento e' secondo me interessante perche' fa capire quanto il lavoro nel campo della scienza sia difficile, frustrante e faticoso. Molto ma molto di piu' delle nostre (mie incluse) chiacchere da blog piu' o meno legittime.
Divertente il passaggio
#i#I have often wondered about the influence of chance on my personal history. Consider the first episode: we try an experiment that is very naive, we perform it and get tremendous results, twice in a week. This produces success, excitement, commitment and so on. In two years we realize that it is one of the most irreproducible experiments. Thus, the question comes to the mind: if in our first attempts we hadn't had any neutron emission, what would have we done? The answer is clear to me: we would have abandoned the field after a few more negative attempts, exactly as many others have done, and we would not be involved in research on CF. Now, a posteriori, we know that the probability of seeing neutrons in that experiment was very small: thus, chance was the determinant factor in our participating in the CF adventure. Once again, consider the impasse in which we were at mid-1991: we were disappointed in the lack of reproducibility in our gas loading experiments, we decided to move to excess heat experiments, we did our first experiments with the 'good' palladium, and saw without any doubt the production of excess heat. Suppose instead that we had started with the 'bad' palladium and saw no excess heat: we would have been thoroughly convinced of the non-existence of excess heat and most probably we would have abandoned the field. Once again chance has been the determining factor in our continuing our activity.#/i#
Un sobrio richiamo al detto che nessuna pianificazione, studio a tavolino, strategia, idea geniale può battere un gran botta di c**o :)
Rossi, se confermato, rientrera' in questa casistica....
Con l'occasione bentornato a EMBI6.
