The Believers (2012)
Excellent Review of the Situation
It bothers me deeply that the top review for this movie is a conspiracy theorist. We discussed this movie for my chemistry in ethics kapstone course as a perfect example of bad science. This is a story about two scientists that went in way over their heads when they attempted to go into a field they had no experience or knowledge in with Absolutely ZERO control experiments. They went to the public with absolutely no peer-reviewing because they wanted to patient their "discovery" when in reality they just didn't know how to use typical equipment in this new field they were trying to enter (nuclear physics). "LENR" is not a real field of science. The only two published papers relating to cold fusion have been systematically debunked and considered fraudulent. The only experiment they ran lacked any controls. If you fuse two deuteriums together, you get exactly the same reaction as if you fuse two normal hydrogens together. There's no such thing as "Cold nuclear fusion". None of the physics line up for that to even be possible and any nuclear psychists would dismiss these claims. What do you do when you get caught in a lie that rewarded you with millions of dollars? Anchor down! Keep the money because your career is already in shambles anyway...
