Cold fusion all over again. All the internet predictions of what this will bring are kinda cringey and pathetic


Touché, but will you eat your hat if it turns out to be true?


Yup!


No condiments and I get to pick the hat. Live.

Bookmarking this for the future ;)


Not even close. Cold fusion was not something we thought was possible under our understanding of physics at the time (Muon-catalyzed fusion isn't what they thought CF was and there are all sorts of things that make it not really something that we expect to ever be particularly useful for power generation, etc., so not much purpose in talking about it)

Meanwhile, all our known physics have no issue with an RTAPS existing.


I've seen some math that shows RTS are not possible.
