However, because of the overwhelming importance of this discovery and the short time we have to solve some of the serious world-problems, a few knowledgeable people are trying to make the information more available to the general public. In this case, we do not have the time to wait. In spite of several popular books to the contrary, this view is not correct. The effect has now been duplicated hundreds of times in dozens of laboratories throughout the world. Several companies have been created in the U.S. to capture the intellectual property and to manufacture equipment.
Small efforts are underway at several government laboratories.
Eight international conferences, several attended by nearly 300 people, have been held and the proceedings are available for study. Sounds like we should just sit back and wait for the solutions to roll in. Unfortunately, this is only the good news. The more important bad news is preventing this happy result. Therefore, no government money is being spent directly on such research.
