I don't think these points are relevant to the discussion.


But isn't this 'Jones' person I'm seeing reference to the 'muon
induced fusion' guy.
Isn't HIS research 'accepted'?

If *MY* recollections are correct, then these ARE valid points. My
memory sez that the muon stuff WAS 'valid' and P&F rushed their press
conference to 'get a jump' on Jones' publication.


I'd like to hear MORE about the muon induced stuff. Was it really
'table-top' or 'just' room temperature. Where can I get a box of
muons?
