So true. I remember as a 23 year old nerd when Pons and Fleischman announced cold fusion, I soooo wanted it to be true. I was literally drunk with the thought of the sci-fi possibilities it would bring. If the reality check hadn’t come so quickly and someone semi-reputable had offered a “Mr. Fusion” for the “low, low price of <some number I could just barely afford>“, I may well have been sucked in.
- perl4ever 7y agoI just checked and apparently Pons and Fleischman was in 1989. Was cold fusion a thing in the 70s or very early 80s? Because I vaguely remember a story about a company that claimed to have done it some time before 1984.
