My name is Dr Bob
I travel the world to attend the best parties and promotes Cold Fusion Energy Technology.

The reason I do this is because information and technology can solve all our problems.

I have written about “shrimp fusion” on my blog drboblog.com and there you can find similar articles, and links.

Anyway tiny cavitation bubbles that last a nanosecond in a liquid probably isn’t a fire hazard. But the giant mutated shrimp may flatten Tokyo.

Water and sound. Or shrimp, even.

It didn’t end well.

I don’t think there is any doubt that the bubbles get very hot, hot enough to be a plasma and emit light. I think there are some difficulty in figuring out exactly how you can have such an extreme concentration of energy.

I even have “PP” presentation slides of them for use in various lectures. I just don’t know the specific reason for the current meme “the mantis shrimp is my favorite organism” is. Still don’t!

The mantis shrimp is one of the most amazing creatures on the planet. Aside from packing heat, their eyes are amazing in ways we have barely begun to understand. The next generation of HD technology will probably be derived from studying mantis shrimp eyes. Read up, and you will soon understand why there is so much chatter about them. I’d love to have one as a pet, but I don’t have a bullet-proof tank to keep it in.
