Reflections: cold fusion

Hopes about cold fusion have been raised once again by two Italian researcher who claim to have fused atomic nuclei at room temperature. Cold fusion has been a holy grail of physics for decades. If it could be achieved, it would be a cheap, clean, and limitless energy source. The whole world watches as to whether this becomes a hot (cold) news or another damp squib

In India, the practice of film stars entering politics is not a new phenomenon. It has been in vogue for quite some time. Many film stars have started their second innings with a transition from films to politics. Whether we talk of southern film stars like N.T. Rama Rao and M.G. Ramachandran, or their Bollywood counterparts like Dharmendra and Vinod Khanna, the film industry has time and again made its presence felt in India's political scene. In India, all netas are basically abhinetas, no wonder if some abhineta becomes a neta. The question is if this is an unwelcome trend, why do people vote such people to power. We only get the government which we deserve.

A private high school teacher, who also used to tutor a minor girl, has been arrested on the charges of sexually exploiting the student for about a month. It is high time law is amended to provide exemplary punishment to rapists.

Since you are in India, you might want to consider attending the upcoming cold fusion conference:

16th International Conference On Condensed Matter Nuclear Science, Chennai, India, February 6 -11, 2011

http://www.iscmns.org/iccf16

Message from Dr P.K. Iyengar, Chairman, National Steering Committee (Former Chairman, Atomic Energy Commission, Government of India):

"I extend a hearty welcome to all the participants of ICCF 16. This is the first time a meeting of the ICCF conference series is being held in India. We are endeavouring to make it a scientifically stimulating and successful event with three satellite programs added. I look forward to meeting you all at Chennai in February, 2011"

You will find about a thousand papers on cold fusion here:
