This certainly helps explain other mysterious happenings in the
quantum world. It certainly seems that the proton is simply
"not there" for short periods of time. Perhaps it visits one of
those other universes in multiverse string theory for a brief
moment in time.
This could also explain observations such as cold fusion.
Hydrogen, under the influence of the metal lattice, might react
as in a molecular combination with other elements and the proton
might go flitting into another world only to return to find
itself in proximity to another hydrogen nucleus in the lattice.
Yes. The whole study of LENR and cold fusion - in one point of
view - is all about *probability* ... or rather, it is about
enhancing normal quantum probability - so that for instance, a
very rare quantum-tunneling reaction - which would occur natutally
once per day in an appropriate situation based on normal
probability - now occurs once per nanosecond.
Even in a transitory BEC situation - quantum tunneling would
logically proceed at higher statisitical probability (arguably),
once the fleeting BEC state is realized (due to the added
constraints of the particular device such as increased pressure or
decreased temperature or both).
This is why I absolutely agree with Robert Forward on his
appraisal of the ironic situation in the 'totality' of the
prospect of using LENR as an energy source - i.e. that achieving
really robust LENR will require cryogenic temperatures.
Wait a minute ! Doesn't that requirement immediately make it
hopeless as an energy source? After all, if we must expend 10kW to
keep a LENR cell cold enough to be really active - by removing all
of its excess heat and then some - then how on earth is will an
effective net energy balance ever take place?
Ah... There is a ready answer coming for the earliest days of
CF... in fact only months after the P&F announcement it was
discovered and largely ignored - but recently touched on here in
another thread ... but as this is New Year's day ... perhaps some
readers will appreciate a mystery to ponder
...and in the context of a "renewal"... of lost focus.
