This paper is the third? which has supported the project and this paper takes special care to try to remove all doubt by having the experiment out in the open and monitored by different methods almost continuously. There are some pretty famous places putting their name against this 'thing'.

The ECAT is about as fringe as I'm willing to accept might actually be worth our investment. I'm reading the report and I can assume they'll try to get it published in a more mainstream physics journal soon for others to review.

Scientific progress is made of baby steps and I've been watching the ECAT crawl for the last few years. Let's see if this thing has legs.

I've been following it, too.

Changing goal posts, changing terminology, an inventor with a shady past, loudly seeking funding, disallowing most peer-review, invite only 'demonstrations', no technical side to the patent.

The only thing that has changed, for me at least, is that the discussion about Rossi being full of shit has moved from phys.org to news.ycombinator.com .
