Cloning Today we have Dolly the sheep and a bevy of Babes, but back in the 1970s cloning was pretty much the stuff of science fiction. In 1971 Manuel Elizalde, Jr., Ferdinand Marcos 's Cultural Minster, claimed to have found a tribe of cave-dwelling primitive people living in a Philippine rain forest. They used crude stone tools and subsisted by hunting and gathering. The media latched on to the fantastic story and the next year a National Geographic TV special aired. Anthropologists generally agree that the Tasaday were a separate but not totally isolated group which had been exploited for political gain.
Fusion is the joining of two nuclei to form a larger nucleus.
If unstable, the nucleus will break apart and release energy. The discovery of a reliable cold fusion method had the potential of supplying cheap energy to the world. Most of the scientific community have given up on cold fusion, but some, including the original duo, continue with research. In 1947 a rancher found debris which he thought could be from a flying saucer. After a few days of investigation, it was declared to be from weather balloons and for several decades the incident was closed.
