Historical recount and devious intrigue that reads almost like a mystery novel Hacking the Atom, Vol. I by Steven Krivit will be appreciated by scientists and non-scientists alike, providing an in-depth look at the controversial topic of cold fusion and the more complex phenomenon of Low Energy Nuclear Reactions. Krivit leads readers through a fascinating history of the experiments and the scientists involved in this field of research. Most valuably, Krivit demonstrates very effectively how slowly and painfully prevailing research paradigms shift in a hotly debated and controversial field like cold fusion. He deftl. "This book resolves a major scientific controversy" according to Collectivist. “Hacking the Atom” is part explanatory popular science, part technical investigation, and part revelatory hidden prior history. It is also a deep-dive into inner workings of human dynamics underlying a scientific paradigm shift al la Thomas Kuhn. LENRS are a new area of research that offer great promise as a clean, radiation-free nuclear energy technology that could be suitable for use in commercial applications ranging from small battery-like devices to large power plants.The book, or should I say adventure, is organized chr. Amazon Customer said Very good overview (volume one) on the topic, in plain English. I have finished reading Krivit's volume (one) "Hacking the Atom." Written in plain English, and dispassionately for the most part, it is an excellent overview of the history of "cold fusion"/LENR research (as far as is described in this volume one). An effort has also been made to provide definitions and general background (again, in layman's terms) on the phenomena (for example, beginning with the parts of the atom). Despite having large elemental swaths dealing with foreign research aspects conducted by scientists overseas, a lot of th
Krivit's conversations about LENRs with Richard Garwin, who played a key role in the development of the first hydrogen bomb, are also illuminating. For a century, this has been considered impossible. Hacking the Atom:Explains the new science of LENRs for scientists and non-scientists alike.Offers insights about a possible new form of nuclear energy without harmful radiation.Reveals intense behind-the-scenes human drama and fiery intellectual conflict that inevitably accompanies the pursuit of revolutionary science and technology.Explains why low-energy nuclear reactions (LENRs) are not "cold fusion." Shows experimental research that confirms why LENRs are real nuclear reactions. The book explains why Robert Park, the former spokesman of the American Physical Society, concedes that LENRs are real, reversing his longstanding opposition to the research. The book reveals that 100 years of chemistry and physics is not wrong, but incomplete, and that there is something new and exciting in the physical sciences.Written for a general audience, this book reveals the hidden story of what was initially and erroneously called "cold fusion." Low-energy nuclear reactions (LENRs) are not fusion or fission but a new, third type o
