That tends to be the way things work. I just want to see all the egg upon the faces of those that are so confident that fusion will never work when the proof is going to be impossible to deny very soon. On second thought, the definition of fusion might be modified to protect the innocent!

One of the most famous of all, Martin Fleischmann, died earlier this year. Along with a colleague, Stanley Pons, Fleischmann thought that he had converted hydrogen into helium in a beaker in his laboratory, never mind that if he had been correct he would have released so much energy that he and his labmates would have been fricasseed by the radiation coming out of the device." - Jed
