Bubbles feel the heat Mar 3, 2005
Physicists have seen a region of plasma in a single-bubble sonoluminescence experiment for the first time. They have also found that the temperature inside the bubble can reach up to 20,000 K (D Flannigan and K Suslick 2005 * Nature* *434*52). 20,000 K seems pretty hot to me. I was hoping you had come up with grand unification theory of cold fusion...
