Written for a general audience, this book reveals the hidden story of what was initially and erroneously called "cold fusion." Low-energy nuclear reactions (LENRs) are not fusion or fission but a new, third type of nuclear phenomenon. The book explains why Robert Park, the former spokesman of the American Physical Society, concedes that LENRs are real, reversing his longstanding opposition to the research. Krivit's conversations about LENRs with Richard Garwin, who played a key role in the development of the first hydrogen bomb, are also illuminating. Hacking the Atom: • Sheds new light on physics and chemistry and reveals how changes to atomic nuclei can occur with low-energy methods. For a century, this has been considered impossible. • Offers insights about a possible new form of nuclear energy without harmful radiation. • Reveals intense behind-the-scenes human drama and fiery intellectual conflict that inevitably accompanies the pursuit of revolutionary science and technology. • Explains why low-energy nuclear reactions (LENRs) are not "cold fusion." • Shows experimental research that confirms why LENRs are real nuclear reactions. • Provides the first "plain English" explanation of the Widom-Larsen theory. • Demonstrates why the Widom-Larsen theory is viable and consistent with existing physics.
