I have good reason to believe that a technology that could provide abundant, cheap, clean energy to all the world is being suppressed. Beyond this, I have read enticing accounts of advanced technology, all of which seem worthy of further investigation, none of which are consistent with publicly recognized science. Is there a subset of humanity living underground with technologies far beyond what you and I have? Do they have good reason to keep their secrets? Are they seeking global domination \u201cfor our own good\u201d<\/em><\/strong><strong>?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>During 2012-2014, I visited 5 Cold Fusion labs, attended 2 conferences, and read extensively about the history and the science. I remember the moment I became convinced that low energy nuclear reactions were possible. I was driving from Burlington to Boston, listening to Michael McCubre of Stanford Research Inst describe his experiment. He set up an electrochemical cell modeled after the original Fleischmann\/Pons prescription. He asked the question, was Deuterium in the cell being transmuted to Helium? He had a mass spectrograph capable of actually counting the Helium atoms as they came out, and he had arranged water flow to measure the heat put out by the cell by comparing the temperature of the water flowing out with the water flowing in. When, after several weeks of inactivity, the cell spontaneously turned itself on, he saw temperature rising at the same time that Helium was registering in the mass spec.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Cafe Sci Silicon Valley: What Happened to Cold Fusion?

And quantitatively, McCubre could divide the heat by the number of He atoms, with the result that each He atom was associated with 23 MeV of energy \u2014 exactly the mc<sup>2<\/sup> difference between two Deuteriums and one Helium atom.<\/p>\n<p>LENR stands for Low Energy Nuclear Reactions. This is the energy of a thermonuclear bomb, and in conventional thinking, it requires such a large activation energy to initiate that fusion can only happen at the center of the sun or in a hydrogen bomb, which uses uranium fission as a trigger. \u201cLow Energy\u201d means that this prodigious energy can be released with much more modest conditions.<\/p>\n<p>There is a reason most physicists dismiss LENR as impossible and don\u2019t bother to investigate for themselves. Two protons or deuterons can only fuse to form helium if they get very close together, and because they are both positively charged, they resist coming together. In a<a href=\"https:\/\/www.energy.gov\/science\/doe-explainstokamaks#:~:text=A%20tokamak%20is%20a%20machine,that%20scientists%20call%20a%20torus.&amp;text=In%20a%20tokamak%2C%20magnetic%20field,the%20conditions%20necessary%20for%20fusion.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u00a0tokamak<\/a>\u00a0or in a thermonuclear bomb or in the center of the sun, the resistance is overcome by brute force, with energy per nucleon of several MeV. The nucleons might also come together via quantum tunneling, but the computed probability is low enough that physicists dismiss this scenario.<\/p>\n<p>The loophole in this reasoning is that bulk quantum phenomena are not well understood. We don\u2019t know how to calculate probabilities for a fusion event inside a crystal that is saturated with deuterium, as was the case with Fleischmann\/Pons.<\/p>\n<p>There are reasons for physicists to be skeptical of LENR, but they are not sufficient to explain 30 years of suppressed experimental findings and exclusion of LENR from all mainstream physics journals. Nobelist Julian Schwinger was used to his submissions being embraced eagerly by top physics journals, but when he proposed a theoretical framework for cold fusion, he met a wall of dogmatism. \u201cThe pressure for conformity is enormous,\u201d he wrote. \u201cThe replacement of impartial reviewing by censorship will be the death of science.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That was 1991. After 30 more years of experimental confirmation, why does LENR continue to encounter censorship and suppression today? I believe it\u2019s possible that LENR technology and more has been developed and incorporated in what Richard Dolan calls a \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Program-Breakaway-Civilization-Richard-Lecture\/dp\/1537132555\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">breakaway civilization<\/a>.\u201d [<a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/zoXxqdg4gl8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">video<\/a>]\u00a0 I\u2019ll speculate further on this theme at the end of this essay.<\/p>\n<p>LENR is a topic that I am familiar with. There are many more areas that I think might be related to a breakaway civilization, but I have not investigated them. These are dots that may or may not be connected.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bob Lazar claims he was tasked with reverse engineering alien technology<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>He tells a story of seeing aircraft that hover silently above the ground and balls of negative gravity that could not be approached while he was employed at Area 51 in New Mexico in 1989.

They might promote a New World Order based on centralized, totalitarian control and universal surveillance of every aspect of each individual\u2019s life.<\/p>\n<p>Would they be correct? Call me a dreamer, but I believe that another kind of world is possible, is preferable, is safe. I believe that psychopathy and terrorism derive from the alienated condition of modern society. I believe in communities where every person feels at home, where every person is known by neighbors and where family feelings spread in ripples across the town. This is a vision of participatory democracy and local, self-organized governance. It is the opposite of the globalized control toward which our world is trending, and it is the opposite of the alienation and powerlessness that most people in the industrialized world are experiencing.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s create it.

Mitteldorf has taught a weekly yoga class for thirty years. He is an advocate for vigorous self care, including exercise, meditation and caloric restriction. After earning a PhD in astrophysicist, Mitteldorf moved to evolutionary biology as a primary field in 1996. He has taught at Harvard, Berkeley, Bryn Mawr, LaSalle and Temple University.
