It was a distinctly odd thing to say. It mystified some of our British friends too, so it was not some British turn of phrase. There is no way to know what Maddox meant because he is dead. - Jed

[Vo]:John Maddox, editor Nature magazine around 1989
Hello group, I have a question, its not so important but it keeps bugging me. In the movie Heavy Watergate Written by Mallove, Rothwell Frank http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6562030534380820378 At min 4:24 John Maddox Editor of Nature magazine says: It [cold fusion] will remain dead for a long long time This to me means that it is not dead for forever, or 'temporarily dead' be it for a long time. Does anyone know what Mr. Maddox meant to say? Was there maybe a piece of footage cut-of after these words, that could explain what he actually meant to say? Did mr. Maddox himself believe cold fusion was true? And did he believe that it would be dead for a long time because the publicity was so negative? In another movie the voice over on the same piece of footage suggest that Mr Maddox was NOT believing anything about cold fusion, saying Mr. Maddox was the last nail on the coffin. I know, it doesn't matter all that much, it just keeps bugging me. Thanks, Bastiaan.
