@fergiewergie and also cold fusion is the key to mankinds freedom from fossilfuels if u think im wrng hav a look at the sun, the sun works on the same princables :D

@doxvr What has that got to do with it ? You said the original person was stupid as he did not listen. There is a chance this professor dude could be wrong. That is what I was implying and that their word should not be taken as gospel and then gave examples of where scientists have fucked up before. e.g. cold fusion being used to resolve the world's energy crisis and alchemy.

lol you really are stupid imagine u drop a basket ball from a height of 2mtrs do u think after the first bounce it can get higher

bahahaaa u sound like a nzl how has the iq of a fruit bat

@doxvr You are the stupid one, not all 'facts' scientists say come true all the time. No possibilities ??? I would say extremely unlikely but no possibilities ? Reminds me of the yanks and the old cold fusion that would resolve the worlds energy crisis.

Must go now......got some lead to turn to gold..............

Thanks for posting this, it really is important to get this info out there so we can all understand what is going on.

Hopefully the govt will increase funding to the GNS after this terrible event.
