Cold Fusion Back From The Dead

misterfusion writes "Looks like the IEEE is warming up to cold fusion with the latest story "Cold Fusion Back from the Dead". This has been a good year for this field with several leading science journals (Physics Today, MIT Technology Review, etc) contributing stories. Things are warming up and if science Research & Development funding can be stimulated with a positive DoE report (due soon), it might be an interesting rebirth."

    The only good thing about coldfusion is how easy it is to slashdot. You can take the site down before first post, easy...

    ...there's no mention of Elizabeth Shue in the article. Until we get the info hiding in her bra, this "science" is going nowhere.

    And to think all this time i thought the bad economy was to blame for Bush, when in reality someone is just sneaking in some cold fusion.

    Who woulda thunk it!

    I call bullshit. I also call slander, and sour grapes. Back up that statement or eat it.

    Q. from student in back row: "What IS electricity?"

    A. "Flow of electrons..."

    Q. "What are electrons?..."

    A. "We don't know. They may be made of quarks..."

    Q. You don't know what electricity is but you are going to teach us all about it?"

    A. "Although we don't know what is, we know how to make it work -- to change them into photons of a certain frequency. Trust us."

    For thos who don't understand metaphor, science blithely accepts as truth things it does not understand and so, cannot explain.

    They (science) just didn't like Pons and Fleishman's attitude.

    F'sck 'em.

    Ninety percent of scientists have IQ's below that of Spiro Agnew (135).

    It's the other ten percent you want to talk to.
