You know, I don't think I ever learned what the German word for ice is. Is it Eis? That would make sense, it would be the same root, just spelled differently. Eis is "ice", and also "ice cream". In Old English it ("ice", not "ice cream") was īs . Werner Heisenberg Werner who's name is mountain... ?...

In Old English the word beorg / beorh meant "hill" or "mountain", while the word burg / burh / buruh or byrig (dative case) meant "fortress" or "fortified town/city". I'm not aware that the former word survived into Modern English in any form ("iceberg" is believed to have been borrowed from Dutch)....

Today is the 60th anniversary of Argentine president Juan Domingo Perón's announcement: El 16 de febrero de 1951 en la Planta Piloto de energía atómica en la isla Huemul, en San Carlos de Bariloche, se llevaron a cabo reacciones termonucleares bajo condiciones de control a escala técnica. That is, "...

From the latest NyTeknik article , linked to by Kahuna : Guest: Dear Rossi, we know that there's a "secret" patent about the catalysts. What's the filing date of the catalyst patent? Rossi: It is secret. It is still in the phase pre-publication, so I have order from my Attorney not to give any info....

In an earlier post, I mentioned that NyTeknik was sponsering a Q&A session with Rossi today. Here is the transcript: http://www.nyteknik.se/nyheter/energi_miljo/energi/article3124146.ece Besides, consider that: all the money spent up to now has been my money. Furthermore: we are not searching ventu...

Special case? Have you been reading the Expanded Universe?

If I expect someone else to pay my own tax bill, that is lawfully levied upon me, am I being a responsible citizen? As a taxpayer, am I allowed to simply pass on any tax burden I do not want to pay to other entities in the economy? If not, why not? You do pass the burden on, in a way, whether you w...

The difference is not whether legalization would cause widespread addiction. The difference is whether there would be riots about it, as Skipjack implied. There's a difference between being let down by your elected representatives and watching your country bow to the demands of another.

Skipjack wrote:Yupp thats why the boxers revolted. They could not stand by and watch the country got to hell.

He who wonders whether a legalization of drugs would produce a simillar riot in e.g. the US?

I don't see why it should. Now, if other countries forced the US to legalize drugs....

Tom Ligon's talk begins about 8:00.

WARNING: If you were hoping to see the entire talk (or, indeed, hear any mention of the Polywell), you will be sorely disappointed.

Mae West : "Don't keep a man guessing too long--he's sure to find the answer somewhere else." Well, when it comes to break-even fusion, our options are somewhat limited. I think Rossi can afford to keep people guessing till October, at least. the question of how elements heavier than iron were form...

I found a couple more recent stories on these students' project here and here . Going by the first story, it would appear to be a variety of either beam-target or inertial confinement fusion. The electrostatic part has to do with focusing the beam. The beam is hydrogen and the target is frozen deute...
