Bubble Fusion Researcher Faces Fraud Trial
An anonymous reader writes "In 2001, Rusi P. Taleyarkhan shocked the world by claiming he had successfully produced a positive net energy bubble fusion reaction; cold fusion. The New York Times reports that a congressional hearing is now under way against Taleyarkhan, even though Purdue University has already cleared the scientist of any wrongdoing. Dr. Taleyarkhan said last night in an e-mail message that the subcommittee's report represents 'a gross travesty of justice.' He asked, 'Where are the Jesse Jacksons and Al Sharptons of the Asian community during this episode that has caused this biased and openly one-sided smear campaign?' You can view the full (colorful) e-mail at Dailytech."
... to question him all day and then award him some grant money to help him find his missing "cold bubbles".
Don't they mean "Rusi P. TaleyarKhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan!"
I thought that was Frank Lloyd Wright's studio?

No, you're just anonymous (like me!), provide no details (verifiable or otherwise), and ask us to believe you on account of using the phrase, "I'm not kidding."
Did you guys know that a friend of mine saw the parent AC torture fluffy kittens in his backyard? I'm not kidding.
You're a crack-pot. I can prove it. See a crack-pot is someone who has no rationality and takes this on blind faith and impressive rhetoric. Your "The challenge of replication in unchartered scientific territory is not to be taken lightly and readily dismissed as "evidence" of non-science. Many people in the field of science, when pushed, will admit that one can never prove a negative, no matter how may attempts fail," comment proves that.
Hey, if something can't be replicated its cause its NEW science, not any of that shitty OLD EVIL SCIENCE. Also, since it can't be repeated it means YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO IT, not that it isn't real.
Right, just like psychics. They really work, except when you actually scientifically test them! Also homeopathy, yeah that stuff's real too, even though its completely un-reproducable. But hey, you can't prove a negative so ITS GOTTA BE TRUE!
Damn science, trying to keep free-energy down. Conspiracies!
HERETIC!!! He goes against the grain with his success! He is preaching blasphemy against the oil gods!!!
BURN HIM!!!!! BURN HIM!!!!
