Independent scientists are a dying breed. All over the world, they are suffering persecution from an ‘academic-industrial complex’ bent on promoting corporate science and technologies that endanger lives and destroy the planet. We desperately need independent scientists if only to protect us from the failures, to anticipate the dangers and to repair the damages done. Dr. Mae-Wan Ho calls on civil society and government to take concrete measures to protect independent scientists, and to support independent science that benefit society as a whole rather than big corporations.

Ten Years That Shook Physics
(Originally Published March-April, 1999 In Infinite Energy Magazine Issue #24)
by Eugene F. Mallove, Sc.D.
When I read George Gamow's book, Thirty Years that Shook Physics: The Story of Quantum Theory (Doubleday & Company, 1966), it was impossible to imagine that in less than twenty-five years another revolution would shake physics in ways every bit as dramatic as what happened from 1900 to 1930.
For the past decade, the Cold Fusion and Low Energy Nuclear Reactions revolution has been underway, whether or not the mainstream physics/chemistry establishment and the general science media wish to acknowledge it. This month we celebrate what has indeed been "Ten Years That Shook Physics." The barrier that separated conventionally understood chemistry and nuclear physics has come crashing down like the infamous Berlin Wall. The barrier does not exist--at least not within special microphysical domains of palladium, nickel, and other metals in contact with hydrogen. Exotic new physics is at work, the "End of Science" again disproved.
