What is possible and impossible can only be determined by experiment. Our state of mind, being open or closed, has nothing to do with it. We know that radiationless nuclear reactions are real because they have been widely replicated at high signal-to-noise ratios. It would be easy to test whether micrometer droplets can travel through a hose. I could set up a test to do that this afternoon, since I have an ultrasonic humidifier. I would use a plastic bag to funnel the mist into a short garden hose, and put a bucket at the end of the hose to collect the water. However, I am certain that the mist will all condense into liquid water, so I will not bother to do this. If Cude wants anyone to believe this is possible it is incumbent upon him to do a test. He should publish photographs and data showing that a measurable fraction the mist traveled through the hose and was released into the air. - Jed
