Cold fusion was met with great fanfare then died away as any claimed observations could not be replicated. This is how science should proceed.

Alberto Carpinteri introduced the concepts of piezonuclear fission. That is, elements lighter than the Actinides can fission at extreme pressures, such as exist in earthquakes or inside our planet. Certainly, fission can be achieved at far lesser energies than fusion.

Nuclear fission has already been observed in Breeder reactors wherein Mercury and other elements lighter than the Actinides can be transmuted to unstable, neutron heavy isotopes and, before decaying, the high neutron flux in the confined conditions of a breeder can induce fission.

Unfortunately Piezonuclear fission has been met with skepticism and outright hostility to the point that Italy’s Profumo government in 2012 banned all funding into any further research based upon correspondence from 1000 skeptical scientists. Carpenteri has continued his work, albeit with far less funding.

It strikes me that man-made climate change has drawn criticism from far greater numbers of scientific skeptics who are uniformly ignored.

I guess funding for Carpenteri’s work threatened somebody else’s rice bowl.

Fission tracks are carved in metamorphic rock formed by the energetic daughter elements of nuclear fission cutting grooves in metamorphic rock.

Such forms of rock as well as the great pressures of earthquakes are great sites for claims of piezonuclear fission.

There is a natural bias in the Universe for left-handedness but it is often obscured. Most people are right handed but the important feature is the coupling of the left hemisphere of your brain controlling your right side.

This emphasis on left handedness is most pronounced in left hand chirality of complex biochemicals. For example, the genes of your DNA are left hand chiral but the protective outer sheath of polysaccharides is right hand chiral. Thus the genes are hidden and protected plus the DNA molecule can "unzip” for replication.

Fission tracks are laid down with a left hand curve, along the lines where the daughter elements are scattered.

Ewald Hejl has put forward the hypothesis that the earliest complex biochemicals form along fission tracks. These tracks were obviously warmed by residual radioactive decay.

Thus it is this bias for left handedness marks the trajectories of fission products thru biochemicals and life, right out to the counterclockwise rotation of planets and stars (left handed).
