The biggest mystery is not the explosion, per se, but the disappearance (apparent loss) of a fraction of the bosons. The authors make no firm case that matter has vanished, and even if it has, its energy content should be much higher than the bosenova event itself.
But as we formerly mentioned regarding this subject, way back then (early 2010) the zero-point field can probably operate as both anomalous energy supplier, and/or energy sink (which is close to the original Dirac sea "of negative energy" context). In fact, in a role as energy-sink, it can actually supply energy in 3-space by effectively converting ambient heat into radiation, which as predicted will appear in the UV or EUV. The same rationale could be true in Ni-H today, in that if there is likely to be found a "gateway" to Dirac's sea at the Förster radius, and it would surely attract protons. Once again, the overlooked German Förster was way ahead of his time, and had many relevant answers to anomalous energy systems (despite his Nazi mistake, as a youth)... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F%C3%B6rster_resonance_energy_transfer This hypothesis of the "lost bosons" is easily falsifiable in Ni-H systems, by the way, even if the geniuses at NIST failed to find it with cold rubidium. -----Original Message----- From: Terry Blanton http://www.nist.gov/public_affairs/releases/bosenova.cfm Vid on the sidebar.
