Edward Teller, Oct. 16, 1989

“I do not remember any case in my lifetime in science when so many experts have differed for such a long time on such relatively simple and inexpensive experiments.”

“Perhaps a neutral particle of small mass and marginal stability is catalyzing the reaction. You will have not modified any strong nuclear reactions, but you may have opened up an interesting new field.”

Richard Garwin, April 20, 1989

“Large heat release from fusion at room temperature would be a multi-dimensional revolution. I bet against its confirmation. Somebody is going to have to eat his hat.”

Richard Garwin, Nov. 30, 2010

“If it were true, it would be really very interesting. And when something that you don’t believe turns out to be true, well, you never know what the consequences would be.”

Robert Park, May 5, 1989

“The corpse of cold fusion will probably continue to twitch for awhile, even after two nights of unrelenting assaults at the APS Baltimore Meeting.”

Robert Park, Dec. 12, 2006

“Low-energy nuclear reactions are real phenomena, though poorly understood. There’s probably something there but its not well-understood yet.”
