Reflections on ICCF17 and the Journey with Pioneers of New Fire Technology

In 2012, I had the profound opportunity to attend the 17th International Conference on Condensed Matter Nuclear Science (ICCF17) in Daejeon, South Korea. Anticipation filled the air as I looked forward to meeting many luminaries who had dedicated their careers to the field of new fire, a radical exploration into energy generation that sought to harness the potential of nuclear processes at a low energy scale. Among those I was eager to meet were you and Martin Blumenthal, two figures that have significantly influenced this scientific domain.
