Apparently this paper has caused some fluctuations in oil markets lol

It didn't even make it into preprint? :p

So at what point does being open minded stop, and being a moron begin?

When I was in elementary school around the time SC came out, I had a school bus friend (don't remember if we were in different grades or different classes but we only could be friends on the bus basically) and we both played a bunch on battle.net so we could relate to each other.
I thought SC lore was awesome at that time also so he and I would each lie to each other about these zerg hives of insects we had genetically engineered and had dominion over like evil geniuses. Because I had it in my head that all you needed to genetically engineer something was put a syringe in one thing and inject it into the other (or like the lie to yourself is that it's not really impossible if you don't actually try and confirm it, also I was a fucking kid).
Now after you learn about science it turns out genetic engineering is possible, but is very exact subtle and requires advanced technology. So while I'm sure the Xel'Naga could do it with the zerg, I don't think even they would for a second entertain the idea that you can turn nickel into copper just by putting it in a box with hydrogen oh and it also be an exothermic reaction donating free energy to a con man's pocketsthe world. That's alchemy.

With this second paper, I genuinely believe there's something happening, something that shouldn't be possible from what you and I learned in school and Uni about physics and chemistry. It's shocking.
That still does not have to mean it can be used to build something that will replace everything else, but it should definitely be good enough to for example make heating a house using electricity competitive with oil and gas.

I'm not sure people know what an open mind really is. You don't have to believe this is real to have an open mind. You can be incredible skeptical and even dismissive and still have an open mind.

Well if it is going to cause oil to drop, he'll likely "commit suicide" It'll be a sad day and the coroner's report will read something like "found with two self inflicted bullet wounds to the head." Stay strong Rossi, you'll topple the energy empire!

That would be cool if it was true, but I stay skeptical about the whole e-cat thing.

Kindof telling regarding the type of people on the stock market...

The paper is a lot of nothing. There are hydrogen ions in water, that doesn't mean you can boil water on your stove, drop a penny in and watch the copper undergo nuclear transmutation into zinc.
What conditions are there in this chamber of secrets that allow nuclear reactions that otherwise happen in supernovae? with none of the pesky associated radioactivity?

Did you read the paper? Nickel 62 came out. Not just "hydrogen ions in water"

I so wish you could just put hydrogen gas next to a metal with one of the highest nuclear binding energies on the periodic table and watch it spontaneously absorb nucleons into its nucleus with no radiation besides ANOMALOUS HEAT. But no. Cold fusion belongs only as the plot to a Hogan's Heroes episode.

I have a device here in my one room apartment private experimental laboratory of scientific research called the o-cat a.k.a. oBlade catalyzer, it's a cardboard box plugged into a wall socket, and inside the box I put a 1kg lead brick. I measured the isotope abundance in the lead fuel and it agreed with natural abundances. I then injected the hydrogen gas and other additives and when I measured the result it was 1kg of 197-Au. You can read my paper, 197-Au came out. Pure gold. I can't speculate as to the mechanism of the nuclear transmutation but it's not outside the realm of possibility that cold fission has taken place. There was anomalous heat also but that had nothing to do with the cardboard box catching on fire after I plugged it into the wall. So as you can see the o-cat is the solution to both the world's energy and economic problems. Shall I PM you my Paypal for more details on this investment opportunity...?

I skipped the math, since it's gibberish to me, but I think you should at least read the paper before crapping on it. That's what people who rationally analyse a claim do. The claim being tested here is that there is a device that outputs energy at a rate not accounted for by present knowledge. Your dismissal of it using plausibility on present knowledge is therefore baseless. "Doesn't fit into current models, therefore bullshit" is a pretty poor perspective to have. What's presented in the paper constitutes extraordinary evidence for which the authors cannot explain, if you have a mechanism to explain the facts reported in the paper, feel free to have a crack at it, otherwise you're the one making claims for which there is no evidence.

I get why people are suspicious of Rossi, but I certainly haven't seen anyone arguing that the scientists conducting these tests are corrupt. The most compelling part of the paper is the transformation of the fuel. I think someone needs to debunk that before the entire enterprise is crapped on.

It is not a paper, it is shit this guy made up having no credible source backing him up. Trying to build a fusion reactor in your kitchen is not science, it's lunacy.

To not look like an idiot, you kinda would have to proof the "third party researchers" ("6 credible researchers from sweden and italy") as not credible. As long as you can not, you're on the same level as Rossi. Just making bs up with nothing to back your claim.
PS: i do think he's an idiot, and that it's a fraud. That doesn't change the fact that there still is a possibility that i'm wrong.
Your dismissal of it using plausibility on present knowledge is therefore baseless.
The earth is flat though. And the sun goes around it.
Sincerly, 100-500 BC.
