Maybe I am missing the point here. A science article is going to be published in a supposedly reputable journal, it cannot be replicated, there is a selective peer review, it is hot fusion and not cold fusion as the title suggests, and this is not a problem? I guess my research experience and striving for integrity in publications does not apply in this field. (Not trying to be sarcastic. LOL!)
There is skepticism of Taleyarkhan's results, yes. People who have expressed same regarding earlier Taleyarkhan studies were disappointed at not being in the peer review process this time, yes.
