By 1991 over 100 major labs reproduced cold fusion, and by now over 200 have, in roughly 14,000 positive experimental runs, according to a tally at the Institute of High Energy Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences.<br /><br />I have a collection of 1,200 peer-reviewed journal papers about cold fusion from the library at Los Alamos, and 2,500 others from various sources. I suggest you review this literature before commenting on this research.

It's a bigger issue in libraryland as a whole, but I digress.Andy Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16912056698169928222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4990922102626688253.post-68145788035332803282010-11-18T07:29:36.511-05:002010-11-18T07:29:36.511-05:00Eric, I have nothing to add but: Hell, yeah!

French author Paul Valéry has, for me, the definitive quote on the subject: <br />"Rappelez-vous tout simplement qu’entre les hommes il n’existe que deux relations: la logique ou la guerre. Demandez toujours des preuves, la preuve est la politesse élémentaire qu’on se doit. Si l’on refuse, souvenez-vous que vous êtes attaqué, et qu’on va vous faire obéir par tous les moyens."<br /><br />Which roughly translates has:<br />"Remember that between people only two kinds of relationships exist: logic or war. Always ask for proofs, proof is the basic politeness one is owed. If it's refused, remember that you are being attacked, and that they'll make you obey by every possible mean."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
