We established many moons ago you are not a physicist and that if you have the certificate, it one of them ones they give out in Germany for cutting and pasting a dissertation you probably didn't even read. Cus you don't know shit about physics.
I have a PhD in Physics, it is also my day job. And i didn't say DD fusion on its own dickhead. Read the post. I said D+D->He4 fusion numb nuts. Note that there are no gammas in that reaction as well. The reaction claimed for cold fusion, before the re branding.
You mean some sort of bullshit... Look neutrons. it makes em.. cus well otherwise i would be wrong. And i am never wrong. Clearly metals produce spontaneous neutrons. Yea Right.
I get really tired of this always getting thrown out there. I mean sure just attach a large particle accelerator and try and filter out the junk and get a few muons (unstable superheavy electrons). And the reaction has everything to do with the coulomb barrier, otherwise fusion would be easy at any temperature. In fact without quantum tunneling you would get NO fusion even with muons, and that give a reaction rate that is exponential with barrier high/width. This is clearly not even the same ball park. So please just shut up already. You may as well bring up "fusion easy look fusors!"...
Case in point you get far more fusion that expected with such a calculation. Because you also need to include quantum tunneling. Thus fusion is easier than expected. But still bloody hard.
LENR is closer to the bullshit spun at a star trek convention than real science. It is literally rebranding to gain credibility and they forgot the most basic ingredients. Data and science.
Read GP properly. Rossi claims means a few million for a 1MW station. That is practically printing money at standard wholesale electricity prices. He has been given well over 10M of "investment". But it will be just like his last energy scheme. A fraud.
they don't use the xray machines anymore. It is all mm wave and shit. These are not a problem. And quite frankly i don't really give a shit about who sees me naked. I got over that a long time ago.
You would think wrong. The math the chemistry the everything. There are literally 1000 ways to skin this cat. No one believes in the field that this set of amino acids/DNA and RNA is somehow the "fundamental" optimal or even particularly special. In fact the real question is why just 20? why not 10 or 50 amino acids. There are more than possibilities for DNA, or you go as low as 2? It is like assuming everyone is going to be humanoid. It works in shit sci fi but doesn't hold up to proper science.
It can be argued that we do indeed have these freedoms. Since you are free to commit murder, theft and rape, nothing is stopping you for the most part. And indeed people obviously do that. However we enforce consequences to these acts after the fact.
You don't' really need a magnetic field. Earth for example has 10 metric tons per sq meter of atmosphere to protect you. And it does. Also even without a magnetic field an atmosphere can easily last billions of years, see venus. It is easy to imagine a set of parameters that would result in stable liquid water for billions of years, that requires no such magnetic field. As for moons... There is a big difference between alien life and multicellular alien life. It took a long time for that to get of the ground here, and many ways to get some form of cyclic thing going. Also there is nothing suggesting you need that either. It has been proposed with little evidence that it is required.
So a solvent is important for moving things around. Mobility of compounds in other words. It turns out that some form of general mobility is always required, otherwise it would just sit there doing nothing. Without mobility nothing can spontaneously from. Water is again much like carbon, especially unique. However it is true that other solvents are possible. The most likely being liquid methane, because it can plausibly exist.
It should also be noted that *no one* has came even close to the most basic set of metabolism for anything other than carbon based life, in a water based solvent.
And your computer isn't, and not all von neumann replicators are life. Even proposed nanobots used carbon based chemistry. ie Drexler's engines of creation.
It is a private company. They are not required to tweet every 15min to keep you entertained. If your a client i am sure it would be a little different.

Would mod you up. After all patriotism *is* xenophobia, racism and another excuse to marginalise another at will.
its better than that. You reduce the waste by a factor of 65x. That is a lot better than 10.
What no zombie apocalypse?

Oh god.. Well you wouldn't know why D+D -> He4 violates the standard model because you don't know shit about physics. Please stop posting idiot.

Sucker and his money. This is not their first fraud rodeo.
Politics is in science weather you like it or not. See AGW.
Frequently.
even numbers of neutrons and protons are also bad from very low fission cross section. They tend to absorb the neutron rather than split.
citation required. Pu238 has never been used in a pacemaker.
You can get a lot more out of a decent AA battery than 1 watt. NiCd can easily do more than that.
But you have to apply to have the visa waiver.

Nicely done. Why waste it to an AC?
