- On the other hand, if you spent much time around a university physics
- department at the time when Pons and Fleischmann first made their
- claims, you must have been surprised by how seriously people were
- prepared to take cold fusion when it first came out. And there was a
- surprisingly large diversion of experimental effort into trying to
- reproduce what seemed like (and turned out to be) a far-fetched idea.

- Who was Simon Newcomb, anyway?
