Reading this post again, but in the broader context of both "probability waves" and how they can be enhanced... and also in the context of Frenkel defects (being caused by radiation), brings to mind once again a particular experiment. I have this particular technology filed away in the category: "why isn't this a commercial product yet", alongside the work of Randall Mills, et al. Rather than repeat the curious details, here is a 12 yr old post to sci.physics.fusion: http://tinyurl.com/5fejp "From successfully obtaining cold fusion on demand, we have an experimental proof of Ying's general theory of 'using incident stimulation bosons to grab decay channels out of probability space into normal space, and thus enhancing probability' ....and then there is the inevitable skeptical reply from Britz (the only Dieter I know who is worth consulting with about an energy anomaly is a VW mechanic....)
