And here I thought they were dead and buried.
Then, some odd things were found about Mercurys orbit, and Newton was shown to be wrong.
Newton wasn't wrong. He just didn't account for some stuff under some conditions. He was right as far as he went. Likewise the current physical requirement of overcoming the proton-proton repulsion to get them close enough to fuse is not wrong. If some magical method that does this in bulk matter exists that doesn't require enormous heat and pressure, then it has yet to be seen. You can get fusion in a particle accelerator, but you'll never be able to use one to produce net energy. I suppose a particle accelerator would qualify as cold fusion, but we're talking about net energy production. So I will remain intensely sceptical, but please feel free to invest in one of these schemes. I'll look forward to hearing how it turns out.
Actually, I think if you take Newtons numbers and apply the Lorentz transforms to it, they work fine and you don’t need Albert at all.
Cold fusion is probably a long shot, but it might be revolutionary.
Whatever happens in physics, you can bet one thing: Alot of well-respected peoples jaws are gonna collectively hit the floor!
