The author, Miles Mathis, expresses disbelief in a recent fusion announcement, citing nine reasons. He argues that mainstream claims are untrustworthy due to pervasive corruption, with individuals making false statements for funding. He criticizes Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm as a “notorious liar.” The timing of the announcement is questioned, suggesting it’s an attempt to generate positive headlines amidst negative news and a decline in mainstream science, exemplified by alleged frauds in various space and physics projects. Mathis also points to the financial motivations, highlighting that Lawrence Livermore and the Department of Energy are known for excessive spending. He contrasts the current claim with a previous breakthrough by JET (Joint European Torus), questioning the rapid progress and JET’s own admission of not achieving over-unity. The author criticizes the lack of detailed information and the implausibility of fusing into Helium5, referencing Wikipedia for support. He further doubts the feasibility of verifying the claimed high temperatures in government-controlled facilities and questions the comparison of laboratory conditions to stars, noting that stars are not as hot as claimed. Mathis performs a calculation suggesting the net energy gain was negligible, potentially falling within measurement error. He also questions the chosen fusion method, arguing it doesn’t mimic nature’s efficiency and that stars don’t use deuterium and tritium for fusion. Finally, he fundamentally disputes the concept of fusion being an over-unity event, proposing that stars recycle charge and are under-unity, and that energy release in fusion is not from stored architecture. He refutes the idea of energy release from Helium5 decay, arguing that bonds are not formed in a way that would release significant energy. The author also clarifies his understanding of Tritium’s behavior, distinguishing it from spontaneous fission and proposing a different mechanism for its transformation into Helium3. Mathis concludes that the announcement is illogical based on basic scientific principles.
