Norman Wells coughed up some electrons that declared:


No, you'd be confirming 'cold fusion' which created quite a stir a few
years
back. It's Nobel prize time if you can, ignominy if you can't.

My degree's in Physics and you are clearly missing the subtle beauty of
mass/energy unification.

Fusion, and fission are both mechanisms for the transformation of some
constituent atoms into other atoms or isotopes which happen to have less
*mass at rest* (which is an important concept).

The different in mass, or mass "lost" manifests itself as energy produced.

However, you do not need to go to the extremes of nuclear reactions for
E=mc2 to become relevant.

Light is a very good example to consider.

The photon is considered to have zero mass *at rest* and yet photons possess
momentum related to their wavelength - a very "pure" manifestation of
mass/energy equivalence.
