Later Years and Current Work
Bockris retired from Texas A&M University in 1997 at the age of 74. He is currently 89. Since then has worked on two themes:
- Carbon-neutral fuels to replace gasoline.
- Further examination of the validity of D + D → He and 24 Mev reaction first described in 1992.
In the latter case, he has had much correspondence and interchanges with colleagues. Synthesis of He is very rare.
A further major contribution was published in 2005. This is a full consideration (500 + pages) of the challenges offered to the standard model of Physics by many of the phenomena studied under paranormal science.
The book includes wide discussion of, e.g., the concept of Consciousness.

Famous quotes containing the words years, current and/or work:
“When people ask me how I develop recipes, I have to respond: “travelling, eating, watching, experimenting, and constantly asking myself: ‘Do I want to eat this dish again?’” Will I yearn for it some evening when I’m hungry? Will I remember it in six months’ time? In a year? Five years from now?”
—Paula Wolfert, U.S. cookbook writer. Paula Wolfert’s World of Food, Introduction, Harper and Row (1988)
“If the current is right, one can drift to success.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“If we notice a few errors in the work of a proven master, we may and even will often be correct; if we believe, however, that he is completely and utterly mistaken, we are in danger of missing his entire concept.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
