Have now finished reading Franks's "Polywater".
I can see why established scientists don't want
to get involved in cold fusion - or even a rose
by any other name. 8-)
The problem these people have is that they are
reductionists to a man. They imagine they can
solve this kind of conundrum from the bottom
up whereas if they took a top down view they
would realise that water must have all kinds
of complex structures within it - just like
concrete or clays - and the idea of "sieving"
out a particular level of structure is
entirely reasonable.
What I found particularly contemptible was
the way that Deryagin did a volte-face when
the going got tough. Still, since it wasn't
his baby but Fedyakin's, like the woman
before the Solomon, he was prepared to let
the butchers finish Polly off.
