Sorry to hear it. He was unquestionably annoying quite often and had some kooky ideas, but did considerable useful work for those ungrateful Wikipedians.

rip, I don't think I ever spoke with him but it seemed like he got misrepresented a bit. Yea I read the RW article, and it reads like a hatchet job by someone with a personal grudge.

Lomaxs' public claim that Larson that wasn't a pedophile, the claim that seemed to evoke the furor of the wikisphere in recent years, seems tenuous at best though. I thought Larson even publicly self-identified as a few of the -philes.

As far as cold fusion, it doesn't appear to be dismissed entirely, even among senior fusion scientists
Michael J. Schaffer, a senior scientist at one of the major U.S. fusion research laboratories

"Cold fusion is still an unresolved and controversial subject that generates strong opinions and passionate debate among scientists"
https://www.scientificamerican.com/arti ... ent-scien/

Academia is littered with bunk and junk that consist entire subjects though so cold fusion could easily be among that.
