Godes probably wouldn't agree. Fwiw, he seems to be an advocate of an electron capture kind of hypothesis as opposed to a fusion kind of hypothesis.
Electron capture hypotheses roughly substitute the miracle of coming up with a missing ~0.8MeV (along with some quantum mumbo jumbo) for the miracle of crossing the Coulomb barrier (and a different set of quantum mumbo jumbo). Sorry to anyone I might offend with this offhand comment. ;-) >From what little he says, his views seems distinct from Widom-Larson. This was discussed in the group recently.
