If I understand you correctly, what you are proposing is similar to Ahern's collective oscillons explanation; that random movements tend to conglomerate together to concentrate energy that would organize electrons contrary to the 2nd law of Thermodynamics. That idea is intriguing if I

Just to add to my earlier thought. Ed calculates that the energy of formation for a neutron is 0.76MeV. This energy must be concentrated from a sea of energy less than 0.1 eV. What mechanism will accumulate energy over 7,000,000 times its concentration, and concentrate it on one location to

Hello Jaro, First, I am not proposing anyone's theory. I am citing classical physics analogs to W-L theory that look supportive. Since I don't know Ahern's theory, I can't comment on it. I'm not sure why you think the 2nd law is violated. Concentrating energy can be done in many ways - with

thanks, Jed, for the correction, because this is such an important issue, maybe you can clarify from Your point of view, why the replications failed. I have not been near the Max Planck Institute of Plasmaphysics  in the 90s, but as far as I can remember, they tried to replicate and failed.

Fair questions, Jaro, Yes, there is a 782 Kev barrier to overcome. Maybe I misunderstand the objection, but why is 0.1 ev relevant? Google superfocusing nanoantenna plasmon - aren't the electrons in fields of nanostructure hotspots vastly more energetic than that? Your starting baseline and the

Yes, Lou's freight train analogy is nice, unfortunately, it is not a very accurate analogy. In the train example, we expect the energy of the 100 cars behind the lead car to impart all its energy to the lead car. This only becomes true when the lead car can absorb, Store and concentrate
