Jeff, a significant difference exists between the UFO observations and demon possession. The UFO observations are based on real events that can be documented. When the different kinds of observations are combined, they show a consistent interpretation. On the other hand, demon possession

My understanding is that a patent is only valuable if it actually follows the rules. If the patent can be shown to have been granted based on false claims, it can be ruled to be unenforceable by the courts. In which case the inventor gets nothing. Meanwhile the inventor has spent a lot of

This paper and many others like it describe how HOT fusion is enhanced when it occurs in a chemical lattice. This study has no relationship to cold fusion because the same nuclear products are not formed. While the lattice enhances the hot fusion rate, it does so only at very low energy
