Just this morning, I noticed that that giant hot fusion reactor in the sky is still going strong. Last night, I recall seeing thousands of hot fusion reactors speckling the sky. I expect I'll be seeing hot fusion reactors in the sky for the foreseeable future.
If "cold fusion" didn't violate so many laws of physics, and were a real phenomenon, we'd have seen it already in nature.
You would but pixie dust, which is not a naturally occurring element in nature, is absolutely necessary for cold fusion.
Actually, there is quite a bit of evidence that we "have" seen it in nature. The same people are denying THAT just as strongly as they are LENR, and with as little justification.....it doesn't match their theories.
Julian Schwinger stated what should be obvious.....the physics of the solid state is different from that of a high-energy plasma.
To put it another way, "quantum fusion" differs from "thermonuclear fusion" in just the same way that picking a lock differs from using a battering ram.
