It is a sad day . . . maybe this will lift the gloom a little. Here
is a discussion so convoluted & weird it is hilarious:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Cold_fusion#Probability_of_Reaction
I cannot tell who Aqm2241 is, which surprises me a little. Perhaps he
is someone who has not attended any conferences I know of. More power
to him, anyway.
This is a discussion of Huke's work, which -- as I said in my review
-- McKubre considers one of the most important studies in this field.
The commentator V sums up the situation at Wikipedia:
"I'd like to know how an extrapolation to low particle energies
cannot be relevant to the Cold Fusion article. After all, that is
exactly what was done in the paragraph that mentioned '50 orders of
magnitude' (from experiments that were about deuterons and fusion but
not inside metal). Do you deny that deuterium in a CF experiment
consists of low-energy particles? So why should experiments that were
not done in the "typical" hot-fusion environment, yet involve
deuterons and metal and fusion AND extrapolation, not be relevant to
this article (which is about claims of deuterons fusing in metal)?"
