The Cold Fusion Horizon

University of Cambridge philosophy professor Huw Price puts a human face on the scientific community’s skepticism towards cold fusion, saying it really stems from scientists’ fear of falling into a “reputation trap.” Few “real scientists” are willing to risk looking like they are dabbling in “pseudoscience.” With a conversational tone, Price keeps the science and the sociology simple. He doesn’t try to convince his readers that cold fusion works, only that they should all invest in finding out whether it does. getAbstract recommends Price’s thesis to everyone interested in the future of energy production.
