And that's the thing.
Yeah, and people have looked at that, but even like something like quantum tunneling has a limit as to what it can actually do.
So there are people who are genuine, you know, that really want to see it make, but, you know, sort of goes to the extraordinary, I mean, we know fusion happens at these high energies, like we know this extremely accurately, and I can show you a plot that shows that as you go to lower and lower energy, it basically becomes immeasurable.
So, if you're going down this other pathway, it means there's really a very different physical mechanism involved.
All I would say is that I actually poke in my head once in a while to see what's going on in that area.
And as scientists, we should always try to make ourselves open.
But in this one, it's like, but show me something that I can measure and that is repeatable, and then it's going to take more extraordinary effort.
And to date, this has not met that threshold, in my opinion.
Yeah.
Well, let me tell you a story about this.
Yes.
Okay.
It's a real story.
So, there were really, really clever scientists in the end of the late 1800s in the world.
You talk about, like, James Clerk Maxwell, and you talk about Lord Kelvin, and you talk about Lorenz, actually, who named after these other ones, and
On and on and on.
And like Faraday, and they discovered electromagnetism.
Holy cow.
And it's like, they figure out all these things.
And yet there were these weird things going on that you couldn't quite figure out.
