Just a note, if you are going to throw away the rule book (standard model) because its 'cold' fusion, you can't then say that hydrogen palladium fusion is a net loss of energy. If being cold changes everything so much, who knows under cold conditions if it's a net gain?
- at_a_remove 6y agoOh, I'm not suggesting throwing away the Standard Model (although it has its known quirks and I am assuming you are referring to the Standard Model), but you don't need to do that to say that hydrogen palladium fusion is a net loss of energy. That just takes your basic addition and subtraction and keeping hold of a little thing called conservation of mass-energy. That ... I am not throwing out the window. I am only saying that we retire to the most basic definition of fusion: a bunch of atoms of lighter elements become, through some process, fewer atoms that have some heavier elements in the mix. I am in no way suggesting that binding energy doesn't exist, etc.
