Cold Fusion

[colton]

an answer that would be more work to either understand or legitimately dismiss includes the observation that a steadily growing number of papers continue to be published from researchers around the world sustaining some point related to the basic phenomenon. I think I see some fraudster hype in the claims the two Italians are fronting though.

OK, thanks for clarifying. I thought you were talking specifically about the individuals mentioned by the OP.

The work being reported on LENR, the more scientifically-descriptive term, is beginning to shed light on fundamental nuclear structure. The old idea of a compact unstructured nest of protons with a favorable number of neutrons associated, which facilitates some calculations with the approximation of a point charge just needs qualification. The fact that some nucleii are unstable with finite rates of decay, or expulsion of a part of the whole, has always called for an explanation we just have not had the tools to explore. Now we have one more tool to explore it with.

Ok here is what I understand about cold fusion, this should put the debate to rest. When a wet warm object, say a tongue, comes in contact with a cold metal object, say a light pole, you experience cold fusion.
