How can that be? SPWAR has detected high energy reactions from a

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.
