Fair comment, Merlyn - but === http://www.scifimoviepage.com/chain.html Chain Reaction isnt really a science fiction movie. It is an action movie with one sci-fi element in it, namely the idea that cold fusion can work and be a clean, efficient and cheap energy source that will replace all the existing energy sources we have. === So CF was integral to the plot and I imagine that the author intended the explosion to be more than a hydrogen-oxygen explosion. I'm pleased my memory didn't fail me completely. ;-) Frank

Re: CF and popular culture, "Outer Limits" episode
'Chain Reaction' actually had only the slightest connection to CF. It was really about sonoluminescence, and using lasers and a resonant cavitation effect to disasociate water into hydrogen and oxygen. 'The Saint' was about CF, periferally. --- Grimer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > At 05:11 pm 22/09/2005 -0400, Jed wrote: > >Wikipedia mentions an episode on "Outer Limits" > about CF.

Re: CF and popular culture, "Outer Limits" episode
I vaguely remember that episode, it started with a college physics test, having a question which stated "Explain in your own words why cold fusion is impossible" or some such. One student, after some furious figuring, wrote that it was possible. He flunked. 6-mos to a year later he comes back having spent the intervening time locked in his lab tinkering, with a CF bomb, to prove that it is possible. As I recall he never intended to use it, but it was accidently set off and destroyed the lecture hall and very little else. --- Jed Rothwell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Wikipedia mentions an episode on "Outer Limits" > about CF.
