Cold fusion was discovered by experiment. We know it is real because it has been widely replicated, often at high signal to noise ratios. There is no theory to explain it. You seem to believe that science must begin with theory and then proceed to experiment. That does happen from time to time, but more often it begins with a discovery which only later is explained by theory. Even if you can show that theory predicts cold fusion cannot exist, that only proves the theory is wrong. It is fundamental to the scientific method that when theory and experiment conflict, experiment always wins. It may be that you are not familiar with the experimental evidence, such as heat beyond the limits of chemistry, the fact that no chemical fuel exists in the cells and no chemical changes are found, and the tritium and helium. I suggest you learn about these things before commenting on this research. I suggest you tone it down, and do your homework. - Jed
