Dave Roberson asks: “What happens to the energetic gammas that are generated by the transitions between states? They seem to gloss over that detail and talk about some unusual mechanism that converts them into infrared radiation. It would be an incredible coincidence for all of these gammas t

“Dr. Ed Storms, in his book, makes a good point that any theory of the mechanism should explain all of the experimental evidence, not just a convenient subset.” Why does deuterium kill the Rossi Reaction (Ni-H)? Why is high hydrogen pressure required to maintain the Ni-H reaction? Why is a

What happens to the energetic gammas that are generated by the transitions between states? Good question Dave. That's why I had it with the Casimer geometries, the shrunken atom, and Widom and Larsen. I have my own ideas about this downshifting (following the lead of David Noever) and t

And let us not forget Occam’s razor. Dr. Ed Storms, in his book, makes a good point that any theory of the mechanism should explain all of the experimental evidence, not just a convenient subset. It seems to me (Occam’s razor) that there is only one truly new phenomenon taking place in this co
