Ø Ø If UDD and UDH is actually equivalent to electron degenerate matter it might be similar to the materials proposed to form white dwarf stars This is an interesting (dare I say: Sirius) observation, since it could explain why Holmlid sees mostly muons instead of nuclear fusion. About 10 years ago, Horace Heffner posted a number of articles on deflation fusion, which is now looking like a prescient first step in the right direction, but it didnt go far enough in the right direction as he was looking for actual fusion instead of the kind of quark soup full degeneracy that Holmlid describes, following a laser pulse. A short laser pulse can equate to a gigantic electric field approaching a petawatt. Ironically, it appears from Holmlids work in the context of the constant disappointment of the Laser/ICF effort at LANL - that it is extremely difficult to induce nuclear fusion this way but, if Holmlid is to be believed, surprisingly less difficult to trigger complete nucleon disintegration from a deflated state. Less is more. Go figure.
