Humanity, on the other hand, motivates us to strive for more, push the limits of our cognitive capacity, and learn novel abilities. Telekinesis, which enables us to...

Investigators from the United States Navy Discuss “Whether Cold Fusion or Low-Energy Nuclear Reactions”

After more than three decades of simmering debate in specialized physics groups and cutting-edge research communities, the debate over cold fusion (also known as low-energy nuclear reactions or LENRs) refuses to die. From another present, ardent supporters have lacked the consistent, reproducible findings and theoretical basis that general acceptance requires. On the other hand,...
