My take big pic take aways so far from the Winter 2013 MIT course are that:
CF is real. It has been repeatedly demonstrated that D+D --> 4He happens in metal crystals.
The theoretical physics are still lagging, but making significant, but slow progress.
Some peeps are working on process development to bring useful systems to market.
Bottom line: Fleischmann and Pons should get a Nobel Prize.
bandwagon trolls don’t read the literature...
My skin is thick enough. When we see gang trolling, it is an attempt at vigilante censorship.
Look through Star Traveler’s posting history, you’ll see that she’s just here to troll. She derives pleasure from it, and it’s certainly no coincidence that another troll showed up saying LOL all the time. She obviously has multiple signups.
So I close the loop on whatever threads they evacuate themselves upon, point lurkers to the literature and answered questions, then let the thread die.

***Nobel prizes are only given to people still alive. Fleischmann is already gone. Pons probably isn’t far behind him.
