It's my understanding that neutrons are essentially neutral in-so-far as positive/negative charges go. Therefore, neutrons do not appear to be influenced by the colomb barrier and can easily enter the nucleus of atoms. I gather this is a really big deal in-so-far as the Widom Larsen theory goes. But that's not the real issue. The real issue, the question that really needs to be resolved is whether ultra low momentum neutrons exist. Mills has his hydrinos that he is fiercely defending. Likewise, Widdom & Larsen have their ultra low momentum neutrons. Regards Steven Vincent Johnson www.OrionWorks.com www.zazzle.com/orionworks
