Heavy Watergate - The War Against Cold Fusion.m4v

On May 14, 2004, Dr. Eugene Mallove, chief science writer at MIT and Boston University, and staunch proponent of Cold Fusion, died under dubious and violent circumstances. I up this in his honor.

Heavy Watergate: The War Against Cold Fusion

On March 23, 1989, respected chemists Dr. Stanley Pons and Dr. Martin Fleishman make an announcement that rocks the world of science. Heavy water, readily available in the ocean, is used in tabletop experiments that yield enormous amounts of heat energy. Appropriately named "cold fusion," this purported breakthrough challenges many basic scientific concepts. In response, a group of powerful physicists heavily reliant upon government funding for their hot fusion research level an unprecedented smear campaign against Pons, Fleishman and the entire field of cold fusion science. Was their discovery of "fire from water" too good to be true? Or was it the discovery of the millennium?

Phenomenon: The Lost Archives

Governments, multinational corporations . . . have secretly wielded tremendous power by holding back critical data or spreading misinformation to further their own aims. This program exposes the almost inconceivable stories of deceit, conspiracy, sanctioned piracy and scientific knowledge hidden from the world for so long!
