*That means interactions with other parts of the nucleus are possible, but not with other atoms* I took this to mean that cluster fusion could not happen because of the speed of light. My point, quantum mechanics allows cluster fusion to occur regardless of the speed of light. On Sat, Sep 13,

If epicatalysis systems exist which can produce a higher temperature from just ambient temperature without any additional input power then COP in terms of heat output is infinity which is meaningless. By analogy applying the COP measure to a naturally occurring waterfall gives infinity...except
