Re: [math-fun] Lockheed Martin Claims Fusion Breakthrough That Could Change World Forever
It seems to me, that this is exactly like the previous "cold fusion" hoax, except for the fact that the cold fusion guys gave far more details than the Lockheed guys, hence were far more convincing. (I will say, though, I predicted from day 1 those guys were wrong.) The reason LM is seeking partners, rather than financing this revolutionary breakthru development themselves so they can reap 100% of the huge profits is (I predict): because it is a scam, and the "profits" they plan to reap are entirely from the gullible outside investors. And who would those gullible investors be? Lockheed appears to be aiming at the biggest-pocketed, stupidest investors in the world... the US government. And if you truly want stupid, I suggest US congress committees on scirnce & technology. Those guys are unbelievably stupid. Will they fall for it?

If there are profits to be had, then the investors would expect to share in them. That is what usually motivates investors. Perhaps they are expecting a grant, rather than an investment, from the taxpayers. -- Gene
