Cold Fusion Scientist Exonerated

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the cold-hearted dept.

    Your definition of cold fusion is fusion happing at relatively low temperatures I take it?

    Well, the problem with that is that it most likely cannot exist, a certain amount of kinetic energy is required at the atomic level for fusion

    It's easy to fuse hydrogen at room temperature, as long as you first replace the electrons in the atoms with muons. (Obtaining the muons is an exercise left to the reader.)
