“…Detailed analyses have also included the additional energy output involved in the electrolysis dissociation of deuterium water to deuterium gas and oxygen. The majority of these investigators failed, however, to validate the presence of tritium, neutrons or gamma waves; questioning whether nuclear reactions were actually occurring [33] [34] [35].…”

Existing explanations for several major phenomena in physics may need to be reconsidered in light of the description of a natural force termed KELEA (kinetic energy limiting electrostatic attraction). Three examples are selected for discussion in this paper: i) The proposed wave-particle duality of electrons; ii) cold fusion; and iii) superconductivity. The current interpretations of these enigmatic concepts are incomplete and not fully validated by scientific methods. The observations underlying these processes are seemingly consistent with KELEA acting as a repelling force between opposite electrical charges. Relatively simple experiments can be designed to either confirm or exclude KELEA in these and in various other currently perplexing physical phenomena.

“…It has also become increasingly common for promoters of pseudoscience to try to protect their claims by filing SLAPP litigation against critics. Already in 1990, Stanley Pons, one of the originators of the thoroughly refuted claims of cold fusion, threatened to sue physicist Michael Salamon, unless the latter retracted a paper in Nature that contained information speaking strongly against Pons's cold fusion claims (Pool, 1990; Salamon et al, 1990).…”

The abbreviation SLAPP for "strategic lawsuit against public participation" was introduced in the 1990s by American researchers (Pring & Canan, 1996). It refers to a specific form of litigation, in which the plaintiff's purpose is not to win in court but to intimidate and silence the persons who are sued. SLAPPs are used by financially strong corporations, organisations and individuals in order to make it too costly for critics to continue with their criticism.SLAPP plaintiffs are usually aware that their case is legally meritless and that they have little chance of a legal victory. They do not attempt to make their case as strong as possible but to make it as costly, time-consuming and frightening as possible for the victim. Their strategy often includes false allegations, unreasonable demands for damages and attempts to stretch out the legal process as far as possible. By making the potential financial and psychological costs as high as possible, the plaintiff can often obtain an out-of-court settlement that silences a critic. In some countries, it can be forbiddingly costly to fight a SLAPP in court, even if one wins the case (Anon., 2010).The term SLAPP has predominantly been used about litigation directed against media outlets, non-governmental organisations (NGOs), individual journalists and activists, and scientists reaching out to the public. It has been less clear whether the SLAPP term also covers the use of this litigation strategy against scientists communicating with other scientists (Kuehn, 2004, p. 363). This is unfortunate since scientific communication is in no less need of protection against misuse of the court system than communication in public media.
