So why haven't we found out how to make cold fusion yet?

When one of the world's leading electrochemists thought he had done it, and published a paper in it, the media came after him hard for some reason, now you can't talk about it. Cold fusion is taboo for some reason. So no grants or funding and you are putting your career on the line.
Might be a conspiracy, might not.
Either way if it's real it's going to take much longer than it should to find because of politics.

Nuclear fusion requires literally pushing the same poles of a magnet together so hard they fuse on the nuclear level. And contrary to popular belief it doesn't yield tons of energy compared to the average amount of heat input needed to accomplish this. It's not very feasible that chemical interactions could get over such a large amount of potential to initiate the reaction. And cold fusions main mechanical explanations rely on forming what I can only describe as tiny scuba tanks inside the pores of an electrode and pressurizing them using electricity. This isn't impossible, but it's not super feasible either.

My late mentor was a major cold fusion nut (I don't mean that as an insult, his passion was amazing, damn we miss him) and I'm a chemist. I'll try to make another post in here with some variations on how it would be thought to work and then explain the challenges of why they don't quite work. I think it's stupid it's taboo since it's such cheap research and even if it's lottery ticket odds it's worth the pay out. And we will likely get some excellent side data from understanding the chemistry. I don't believe it works, but I don't believe it's that far fetched either.

Because fusion is hot.

Because people make threads asking "So why haven't we found out how to make cold fusion yet?" instead of finding out how to, and other people reply with "Because people make threads asking "So why haven't we found out how to make cold fusion yet?" instead of finding out how to, and other people reply with "Because people make threads asking "So why haven't we found out how to make cold fusion yet?" instead of finding out how to, and other people reply with "Because people make threads asking "So why haven't we found out how to make cold fusion yet?" instead of finding out how to, and other people reply with "....." instead of researching too." instead of researching too." instead of researching too." instead of researching too.

Because the only two ways we know how to fuse shit is through extreme heat or extreme gravity. We can't make extreme gravity on earth because we want to live, and making the heat high enough to start fusion in these low gravity environments requires so much fucking energy that it's questionable whether it is possible at all to net a return on the investment.

The US Navy's cold fusion research lab isn't a good enough source for you?

It might be possible with probability manipulation, but probability manipulation is also a global cybersecurity threat, so any advances on it would be suppressed.

>to fuse shit we need to push positively charged nuclei together

>positively charged nuclei dont like to be near each other cuz they are of same charge

>we have to forcibly push them together

>to do this we either compress stuff super hard or heat stuff up to extreme temperatures so that the nuclei smack into each other super hard

ergo no cold fusion
