RIP - Dr. Martin Fleishman

Dr. Fleishman died recently on August 3, 2012. He with his partner Stanley Pons proclaimed what is known as 'Cold Fusion'. The controversial experiment was proclaimed prematurely and with the 'fusion' part highlighted became the focus of the controversy and the backlash that followed was enormous.

We are ready to spend billions on research that is far out at the end of galaxies but we are unable to support something on ground about which we know so little, something that is enigmatic. It is true that some of the results are not reproducible but that is not to say that the observed positive results have no value. Even the positive results at MIT did not gain enough traction.

I am not the one for 'conspiracy theories', but given the nature of the subject which pits the proponents against interests represented by Nuclear Fusion, Inertial Fusion, Fossil Energy, Oil, natural gas etc. makes one wonder about the origin of the negative advertisement.

I believe they should get a fair share of funding to continue the quest, if not for producing large scale energy but at least to explain what the phenomena is about.


Here is a recent video on YouTube about 'Cold Fusion':

What is common between Amazon.com and Nuclear Fusion?

Perhaps a lot, perhaps, just a coincidence! But Jeff Bezos name is associated with both. His connection to Amazon.com needs no explanation, but I came across his name in a document at the following site,

I believe that the connection is true since Jeff Bezos is such a bright and forward looking guy. If the name turns out to be a coincidence, I ask forgiveness.

Nuclear Fusion has been touted as the future of mankind for its energy requirements. Despite spending untold resources; thousands of brilliant people in dozens of countries participating, fusion energy has not been realized beyond the breakeven levels.

This new idea from GeneralFusion may turn out to be the solution although it is still in its very early stages. Perhaps Jeff can see into the future.

Thank you Michael Reusch for bringing this news item to my attention:
