I believe the problem with fringe subjects is that the focus goes of the end results and does not focus on the underlying physics. If you just chase an effect that is not really understood thoroughly enough, then what you end up getting looks more like magic than science. Complete with superstitio

Her thesis, if you listen to is, is that people should stop researching "free energy" and just do pure physical research. She however, sounds several optimistic notes about finding fusion at low temperatures, perhaps by using bubble cavitation or magnetic fields and that given time we might find

Incorrect? WHAT? She specifically says she thinks bubble cavitation might be doable. It may be a waste of time, it may even be incoherent (many people who think Cold Fusion is doable, often are) but the fact is obvious to anyone who bothers listening to the video that Pam thought the problem was

Incorrect. I listened to her incoherent blathering of The Catechism well around the 23 minute mark and all she did was continue blathering The Catechism. What a waste of time. On Mon, Dec 9, 2013 at 9:00 PM, Blaze Spinnaker wrote: > Pam was actually optimistic about Cold Fusion (watch around 2

A video dialogue about hot and cold fusion between Fred Gain of Universe Today and Pamela Gay of CosmoQuest. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MjeJs1DZygw At 9:30 they start talking about P&F's experiments and Pamela concludes that it was an error because it turned out that subsequent experiments wh
