8. Caltech Professor David Goodstein Still Watching Cold Fusion Conflict

Source: American Physical Society News, June 2010 (Volume 19, Number 6)

"When I give talks on the subject of scientific fraud I’m always asked whether Cold Fusion was an example...Many things went wrong in the course of that episode, but fraud was not one of them. Both sides were guilty of ignoring fundamental canons of good science, the pro-side ignoring contrary experiments and the con side being convinced by theoretical arguments. Most of the scientific community has concluded that cold fusion isn’t possible, but in my view, the final verdict is not yet in."
