According to this article a researcher at Purdue University has created nuclear fusion using sound waves. The scientific community and the government are so skeptical about this prospect that they all seem to be assuming that it is the result of fraud or error.
The Investigations and Oversight Subcommittee of the House Science and Technology Committee, are investigating the discovery. Nobody at any other facility has been able to duplicate Purdue's results, but another scientist from LeTourneau University has been able to reproduce the experiment on Purdue's equipment.

A Theory of Divinity
Religion is the process of making up a reality beyond the one that really exists. The reason why people do this is because they are profoundly dissatisfied with reality. In part, this comes from the nature of human psychology. I think we are mostly designed never to be fully satisfied. We can nonetheless have a concept of what complete and total satisfaction would be like. All concepts of the divine are the result of imagining just such a thing.
Having given up on trying to find satisfaction in the material world, religions, especially Abrahamic religions, create a world where complete and unending satisfaction are granted.
Perfection, in the sense of something wholly satisfying, is something that most human minds crave, but are rarely able to find through the senses. The divine, therefore, can only be perceived by the imagination.
