Vo,
Finally the establishment seems to be changing and taking new ideas on board. Is Cold Fusion going mainstream? http://physicsworld.com/blog/2008/06/coldfusion_demonstration_an_up_1.html I also heard a top academic at QMUL stand up and ask a question in a seminar at QMUL about CF in front of Prof Steve Cowley's hot fusion seminar. It seems that the powers that be are finally leaning on the establishment to be more democratic and informed about the history of science. It seems the new stuff often comes from the mavericks in their skunkworks. People are mistaking big science as the only source because of Manhattan Project, Aerospace Industries, Pharmaceuticals, Human Genome when really this approach tends to hone what is already known. Some one said on this list once that most PhD are 'technicians'. Paradigm shift going on. Interesting times. Can't subscribe for too long, may lurk occasionally.
