I contacted the author to say thanks. Here is an interesting
response. I wonder who those professors are?
Hi Jed,
Thanks for your letter; I appreciate all the links. I was unaware of
the storm of controversy surrounding cold fusion. The idea has
always been represented positively by my chemistry and physics
professors. Keep fighting the good fight with Time. Journalists
tend to be hopelessly ignorant of two subjects: physics/chemistry and
economics. They also love debate, so why the magazine would be so
hesitant to provide another look at cold fusion is beyond me. Time
seems to be a troubled publication.
Again, thanks for the email!
Best,
Darren Bernard
