This should read ''is claimed by virtually all physicists'': I added a fact-tag to the ''some'' until at least a few (2-3) physicists are found who think that it doesn't demonstrate the equation! I don't know any who hold such a belief... --[[User:AugustO|AugustO]] 19:28, 23 January 2013 (EST)

*''Instead, a hand-waving claim was made that an excess in kinetic energy of the resultant helium nuclei, which is greater than the energy of the original nuclei, must be attributable to a loss in mass.'' See (and answer!) [[# A few questions for Aschlafly regarding this experiment}]! There is no hand-waving, the loss of mass is observed!
*''But in fact the overall energy expended to attain this transmutation is greater than the energy produced by it. '' Yes, as most accelerated protons just go through the target!
That isn't a very promising start! --[[User:AugustO|AugustO]] 00:56, 24 January 2013 (EST)
