Inside The Most Expensive Science Experiment Ever (ITER Fusion)

[longship]

8. Well, if it's real.

Somebody else will scoop them by publishing. Then maybe they get the Nobel.

Don't criticize me. I didn't make the rules. And these guys are not playing by them.

This doesn't sound like Wright Bros. it sounds more like Steorn or the many zero-point energy device kooks.

That's why I am very skeptical about cold fusion. There is low prior plausibility. The only way we've been able to do it so it releases more energy than it uses is with a fucking fusion bomb that would blow up a city. So some kooks named Pons and Fleishman have a press conference and claim they can do it on a table in a flask. Nope!!! No fusion there. Thank you peer review.

No peer review here yet; no fusion!

It's publish or perish, my friend.

Keep my DU tag in mind. I have bookmarked this thread. I will gladly recant if I am wrong. But I don't think I am.
