Book synopsis

Written for a general audience, in plain English, 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 of nuclear phenomena. Robert Park, the former spokesman of the American Physical Society, concedes that LENRs are real, reversing his longstanding opposition to the research, as the book explains. Krivit's conversations about LENRs with Richard Garwin, who played a key role in the development of the first hydrogen bomb, are also illuminating. LENRs are the result of nuclear processes and can now be explained by a viable theory. This theory is consistent with existing physics, expands scientific knowledge and reveals a promising new field of nuclear science. The book resolves one of the most bitter and confusing conflicts in modern scientific history and suggests that we are at the beginning of a new period of explorations in nuclear research. Hacking the Atom provides the behind-the-scenes details of this strange and wild scientific journey that took place between 1990 and 2015. The book reveals intense human drama and fiery intellectual conflicts that inevitably accompany the pursuit of revolutionary science and technology.
