<div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> I issue the following bet: If an article<br>favorable to cold fusion, not counting Muon-catalyzed cold fusion or sonic
<br>induced cold fusion, appears in the top 3 physics journals on this planet,<br>Science or Nature or Physical Review Letters before May 7 2008 I will<br>send you $100, if it doesn't you will send me $10. So what do you say, will
<br>you take my bet? For me to accept I need to know your real name and how<br>to contact you. So what do you say, Can you put your money where your<br>mouth is?</blockquote></div><br><br>Sorry, but I don't accept those journals as ultimate arbiters of truth.
<br><br>The outcome of the event your bet pertains to has more to do with<br>sociology as with physics. So the bet doesn't interest me all<br>that much.<br><br>I will bet you $100 that one of those three journals publishes an article
<br>favorable to cold fusion (not counting muon-catalyzed or sonic induced)<br>within the next 15 years.<br><br>I reckon that has got to be enough time for the narrow-minded editors<br>at those particular journals to accept the empirical evidence and lift
<br>their foolish ban on the topic... ;-)<br><br><br>-- Ben<br><br>
