Re: [Vo]:Solar neutrino scattering by the moon

[Nigel Dyer]

I think that Cosmac has provided my answer, and yes there will be a 
shadow.   Monnshadow looks for the shadow cast by the moon for the 
higher energy cosmically originated neutrinos, and the same physics will 
apply to solar neutrinos.

This is an interesting line of speculation.  It might be worth 
raising it at PhysicsForums or physics.stackexchange.com 
. I would be interested in knowing 
what mainstream physicists think of it.


This line of speculation is related to my thinking on how the EM 
Drive might produce "propellantless" thrust.  If enough beta decays 
and electron captures were being induced in the device, and the 
neutrinos were emitted anisotropically, i.e., preferentially in one 
direction, that might produce measurable thrust.

The question has been asked

I will cross post any interesting answers

All moon size bodies and above produce internal heat including the earth
and the Sun. Even Pluto that has a water volcano and a underground water
ocean that feeds that volcano.

I beleive that these celestial bodies produce this internal heat through
LENR based reactions. These LENR reactions will produce muon neutrinos.
These LENR reactions will produce neutrinos and will distort assumptions
about what neutrinos do, how neutrinos change their type, and how they
react.
