What amazes me is that Gary T. Horowitz and Eva Silverstein make theoretical predictions based on their theories and when these predictions turn out to come true in the real world, they can't believe it. Very strange.
You would think that these people would be excited by the prospect of using LENR to experimentally verify the predictions of string theory. What a strange time we live in.
