4. COLD FUSION: TWENTY YEARS LATER, IT’S STILL COLD. Monday was the 20th anniversary of the infamous press conference called by the University of Utah in Salt Lake City to announce the discovery of Cold Fusion. The sun warmed the Earth that day as it had for 5 billion years, by the high temperature fusion of hydrogen nuclei. Incredibly,the American chemical Society was meeting in Salt Lake City this week and there were many papers on cold fusion, or as their authors preferLENR (low-energy nuclear reactions). These people, at least some of them,look in ever greater detail where others have not bothered to look. They say they find great mysteries, and perhaps they do. Is it important? I doubt it. But I think it's science.
