Elvis sightings. Why can't I read about these reports were in
Science or Nature ? The few positive results in a peer reviewed journal
of any merit came out years ago and most were subsequently retracted.

One of the great understatements of out time.

And how many of those 2500 published papers are worth a bucket of warm spit? Zip.
Muon-catalyzed cold fusion might be practical someday, it has been shown
to work at temperatures as cold as 13 degrees Kelvin, but the Pons and
Fleischmann variety is as dead as junk science ever gets. Unfortunately that's
not nearly dead enough.

No. They were astounding , they were amazing, but they were not unbelievable
because they were repeatable.
