The evidence is overwhelming. The funding is almost nonexistent.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book asks why - and finds the answer not in the laboratory, but in society.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrawing on economics, the philosophy of science, and the history of knowledge, Jean-Christophe Fadot argues that the real obstacle blocking LENR research is not scientific. The Standard Model of physics - despite acknowledging its own limits openly - is routinely misused to dismiss an entire field as impossible, when it makes no such claim. Meanwhile, humanity spends over 2,500 billion per year on military budgets driven largely by competition over energy resources, while investing less than 100 million in a technology that could resolve that competition at its root.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut \u003ci\u003eThe Earth is Round, But the World is Flat\u003c\/i\u003e goes further. It advances a more radical thesis: that alchemy - long dismissed as pre-scientific superstition - may be the Rosetta Stone connecting esotericism, LENR, and the Standard Model itself. Transmutation of elements, once the central fantasy of alchemists, is today the daily reality of every nuclear fission reactor and every medical imaging facility in the world. The esoteric tradition is not the opposite of science. It is its unacknowledged ancestor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt the heart of this work is a single conceptual lens: \u003cb\u003euniversalism versus separatism\u003c\/b\u003e - the tension between seeing the world as interconnected and whole, or as fragmented and flat. It is this tension, Fadot argues, that shapes not only how we do physics, but how we govern energy, fund research, and face our civilizational choices.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eWritten for scientists, policymakers, and curious minds alike - and for anyone who has wondered why humanity so often refuses groundbreaking innovations just because, well, there's some noise and shaking when the ground is breaking!\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBased on a presentation delivered at the 2022 Congress of the French Society for Condensed Matter Nuclear Science.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Independently Published","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47775211716759,"sku":"9798254411772","price":697.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9798254411772.webp?v=1777988997","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-earth-is-round-but-the-world-is-flat-a-universalist-approach-to-low-energy-nuclear-reactions-9798254411772","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
