Certainly. But you would never get funded in the first place. A researcher who suggests doing this experiment will probably be hounded the way Taleyarkhan has been. See: http://lenr-canr.org/wordpress/?p=862 Modern science is highly centralized and micro-managed from Washington. It has a low tolerance for people who question authority or try to do anything that might reveal an error in established theory. It has become more of a religion than science. I am not exaggerating. Ask Taleyarkhan, Pam Boss, or any cold fusion researcher. Even if by some miracle you were funded to do this experiment, no journal would publish a positive result. - Jed
