How can that be? SPWAR has detected high energy reactions from a cold fusion system.

This is no small thing.  Then the field dies.

I do not think the SPWAR results have been replicated to everyone's satisfaction yet. Certainly the Russians have doubts, and they are experts in CR-39. The issue is somewhat over my head.

Anyway, the field is dying because the researchers themselves are dying, and not being replaced by younger researchers. If you ask a skeptic why, he will say this is one of Langmuir's criteria for pathological science: "The ratio of supporters to critics rises to somewhere near 50% and then falls gradually into oblivion." If you ask me, I say: The field has been crushed by rabid academic politics, and the suppression of academic freedom.


I don't understand.

Come now. It isn't hard to understand.
