Apparently American Navy scientist have figured out cold fusion, or a previously unheard of nuclear reaction.

I'm excited after reading the article, but perhaps it hasn't been plastered all over because so far, it's not been verified as cold fusion.  Therefore, they're not wanting to repeat the same mistake made by those other two dudes 20 years ago.

But I agree...this is VERY promising!

i am clueless about this...and while i am an enthusiast regarding any kind of science/technology...
i am also a skeptic by nature

I guess so, but it is still a breakthrough in Nuclear power, and it has already been verified by another lb in Japan.

I has always assumed cold fusion was the term used best to describe my first marriage

I had no idea it was something scientific.

This isn't being plastered because the average schmuck knows jack shit about jack shit. They can't tell you why a plane takes off.


Cold Fusion would just be something boring to sit through until they aired the weather and the latest news about britney spears.
If the state had not cut funding for the mental institutions, this project could never have happened.

Nothing's blown up, no carnage, no mayhem, no rioting.

And, they haven't been disproved and laughed out of the business.

No shit. Sometimes, I get really disappointed in society, and then I remember that It is my own damn fault for hoping that there is something more than a collective mental vacuum.

Cold fusion has been claimed to have been found about 4 times in since I first heard of it and every time it turned out to be bogus.

Plus, the general American couch potato thinks cold fusion is either the name of the next WWE event in Anchorage, or a sandwich at Subway.
