Muon catalyzed cold fusion was predicted in the early 1950's. Once it was observed, it only took a year to explain it with a theory. If it weren't for the fact that it consumes more energy than it produces (and the reason for that is exactly understood), it would be in wide use today.

And then there is the object of your obsession, modern cold fusion, after more than 20 years its singular superstar is an ex-con from Italy with a tendency for incomprehensible tirades. I hope you don't get cold waiting in line at the Home Depot for your ecat.

Thus speaks ignorance. Have you read EVEN ONE actual scientific paper on ANY cold fusion experiment? Science isn't about "superstars", it's about experimental data (NOT math models). This is what Einstein, Feynmann, and every HONEST scientific researcher knows and says.

Read McKubre's summary of the history of CF research in the Foreword of the ICCF conference proceedings: http://lenr-canr.org/acrobat/ViolanteVproceeding.pdf For good or ill, doing a successful electrolysis CF experiment if difficult in the extreme. Experiments in ceramic superconductors are child's play by comparison.

And this is in addition to a subset of the scientific community of patho/psycho skeptics throwing sand in the gears of the machinery by indulging in "political science" (tenure denial, grant denial, etc.) and fraudulent experiments (MIT).
