stuckincincy Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 Neutrons are sub-atomic particles??? How charming. But again, interstellar aliens travel light-year distances to get to our planet, but once inside the atmosphere, they have to turn on their headlights.

OGTEleven Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 Dudes, We have to stop this. They will hog all the world's supply of deuterated acetone. That stuff will like totally mess you up. In college I went to this deuterated acetone and 7-Up party and ended up with a basketball hoop around my head. We must not let these geeks hog the supply.

Why the mockery? 410291[/snapback] Here is what I know about cold fusion in real life: Elizabeth Shue was in some movie with cold fusion as a backdrop. I had the choice of making jokes or watching that movie again to re-educate myself. I chose A. Sorry to offend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems highly unlikely to me that they'd OK the publication of something related to a subject that's been so hotly contested before. And didn't it say in the article that these findings were published in a peer-reviewed publication somewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty cool when someone in any field actually does something potentially revolutionary rather than just talk and spew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
