What do you think about cold fusion and do you think it can be achieved?

Answer 1

While not a physics expert, I suspect "cold fusion" is one of those things that will not be achieved by man, because it was not meant to be.

I can't remember who said it, it might have been Einstein, "humans are the only species capable of their extinction, simply by trying to achieve that which is scientifically unachievable"

Answer 2

Cold fusion is unlikely to be achieved.
1. Despite 2 decades or more of research the only evidence is of scientific fraud or sloppy research.
2. There is a lot of hydrogen in the universe that has been seeded with dust containing heavy metals. If cold fusion were a viable process, there would be evidence of it from elemental abundances in interstellar gas clouds.
3. From 1 and 2 we can safely conclude that cold fusion is at best an unlikely and marginal process.

In science, hypotheses must be supported by experimental evidence or discarded.

Answer 3

I enjoy it very much.

I don't beleive it is acheivable. Fusion is a hell of a monkey to create and control.

Answer 4

someday it'll be reality....we haven't had the power of the harnessed atom for that many years! When it happens -the world instantly changes for the better!!

Answer 5

i think it's a noble idea....and one day it will be achieved....given time anythings possible
