Personally, I have always been intrigued by the idea of
"cold fusion," with the expectation that "this is the sort of
mystery that I still expect to find." (For instance also: the speculation that
iron might somehow serve as an "atomic(!) catalyst.")
Yes, we obviously now know that "nuclear fusion" occurs at a phenomenal scale in "the sun and the stars," but I have always
suspected that the same reaction occurs in other – much less dramatic but still "powerful" – situations, too.
We have
literally "built our world" around the chemical reaction of "oxidation." But,
what if there is something more? To me, that
mystery is tantalizing . . .
As for me, I fully plan to put-aside my harp and my music lessons, then sit on a cloud somewhere and look down to see when the people below me figure the next
very cool(!) thing out.
