"Arcane scientific papers and curious lab experiments just might require more than happy thoughts to move a car."
And if so, the NORMAL practice of science will eventually disclose the truth. The world does NOT need you and a few others to protect it from itself. That mode of thinking is "of the left". In other words, you're just another vigilante censor.
Note that the treatment of the topic of LENR has NOT been the "normal practice of science". Not even close.
An analogue of "crony capitalism" is very appropriate....."crony science", just like "anthropic global warming". The sole difference is that with AGW, the cronyism is in favor, and with LENR, it is opposed to the subject.
Even Purdue University has been doing experiments and generating dense papers on the subject and Purdue is hardly a bastion of radical faddishness.
“And if so, the NORMAL practice of science will eventually disclose the truth.”
And NORMAL science is disclosing the truth....no one wants to put large amounts of money into something that they don't believe has a chance of producing value in the future, either as pure research or as a practical application.
Claims of container sized water heaters and waiting customers that should have been treated with utmost
skepticism have been greeted with sunny credulity on the cold fusion sites by the cheer leaders of cold fusion even when fraud was indicated.
“The world does NOT need you and a few others to protect it from itself. That mode of thinking is “of the left”. In other words, you're just another vigilante censor”
“vigilante censor”? “of the left”? Why not Luddite and Nazi and anti catalyst?
“The world does NOT need you....” I'm just not feeling the love here.
