I suggest you didn't either. Sorry but real word results trumps DOE theory anytime. But not the DOE's judgement on real world results as presented by the best cold fusion could put forward.

But it'd be much worse if they called it bogus and then Japan executed a cold fusion Pearl Harbor on them, even if it were a peaceful equivalent of it. That would be career ending. And they could not have possibly expected something like cold fusion to remain dormant if it were real. So, their judgement had to be based on their belief that the field had no merit, rather than any kind of a desire to suppress it. > We will replicate the students results.

I wonder why they are always using the lack of funding as an excuse for not producing definitive evidence. > If the students results in 2002 and 2003 did not convince the DOE, then > then the DOE needs to be torn apart as it is non functional. > > Well, it's not just the DOE, but the entire scientific establishment that should be torn apart then. But in the last 20 years, progress in all branches of science has continued apace. But you're planning to repeat a 10-year old cold fusion experiment, which is a repeat of a 20-year old experiment, because basically there hasn't been much new to celebrate in the field. We know from the reaction in 1989 that the establishment would love nothing more than to see a working cold fusion experiment, so once again, they can cheer the rebellious chemists on at ACS meetings. But this time, it'll take more than a dubious electrolysis experiment with questionable calorimetry. Give us an isolated thing that stays persistently hot, and the world will beat a path to your door.
