When I used the term "nuclear physics" I was not using in terms of developing another fission power plant. I was using in terms of academic education. I suspect universities will still have to teach some form of "nuclear physics" along with the evolution of quantum mechanics. I suspect advanced students will still have to learn the basic principles of "nuclear physics". Granted, assuming LENR eventually proves its mettle, the current field of "nuclear physics" and quantum mechanics will most likely learn to adapt or incorporate what LENR has to offer to the negotiation table. That goes for incorporating Dr. Mills' BLP Classical Physics concepts as well. This assumes the audacious startup can ever get off the ground. BLP's latest switcheroo to an alleged solid state "SunCell" engineering effort with no plans to reveal anything to the public about what the new solid state engineering entails is likely to make the company vulnerable to considerable amount of skeptical skewering. But, of course, BLP doesn't care what the peanut gallery or what stalwart skeptics have to say. Last summer BLP managed to secure millions of dollars of additional funding to keep them afloat. But all that generous funding had been based on engineering principals involving moving parts that have now been apparently abandoned as BLP now pursues a new Solid state engineering concept. Unfortunately, none of us in the peanut gallery have a clue as to what the solid state engineering might entail. Needless to say, with nothing to go on, I have my doubts. Stalwart skeptics love this kind of switcheroo behavior. Can't say I blame them. As for future generations not acquiring the knowledge to produce a couple of nasty H-Bombs or dirty bombs, I think it is exceedingly naive to assume countries like North Korea and similar types of tribal/family-run businesses would not brush up on leaning old skills.
