LENR - Low Energy Nuclear Reactions, is this possible?
If we see physics as a statistical phenomenom, then energy is another
word for probability.
So, Low Energy reactions are low probability reactions - reactions that
dont happen frequently ;-)
It is therefore improbable to get energy out of

What about LENR - Lattice Enabled Nuclear Reactions? Personally I Like
it more than Low Energy.
Cheers,

I have noticed that McKubre often uses LANR: Lattice Assisted Nuclear Reactions.

Changing the acronym LENR to 'Lattice Enabled' is an improvement over 'Low
Energy'- but CANR can also be altered be more relevant to the mechanics of
Ni-H reactions, as best we can understand them: CANR = Casimir (or cavity)

I have addressed this question here before, from the point of view of
linguistics. It does not matter what you call something. People will know
what you mean. See Wittgenstein's discussion of meaning: Don’t ask for the

I regard efforts to change the name cold fusion as attempts to create a
euphemism. Euphemisms never work. Whatever bothers people about the old
word soon attaches to the new word, so you end up generating word after
word. For example: toilet, bathroom, men's room, restroom, etc.

I believe that was a technical adjustment to make the term more accurate.
Not a euphemism. CO2 causes both warming and cooling, and also droughts and
other effects. It is not limited to warming.
