This powerpoint shows how scientfic revolutions at 80 year intervals induce economic depressionary periods that have happened at 40 or 50 year intervals. The cold fusion/lenr/ball lightning field is a part of the new scientific paradigm developing since 1992. I call the new paradigm the plasmoid paradigm. It could also be called a ball lightning paradigm. Most of this was presented at the ICCF 10 in Boston in 2003. The ICCF 10 was the tenth international conference on cold fusion or lenr as people call it now. This theory has proven correct for 20 years now on how it predicts major economic events. It predicted a depressionary period starting about 2009 for example.
