Here is the story of a BEC composed of billions of photons occupying the same space, and accomplished at room temp.
http://www.livescience.com/10288-kind-light-created-physics-breakthrough.htm l Think about this in the context of LENR: The photonic BEC is said to have characteristics of matter. In fact, they could be tailored to have the mass-energy of a neutron, and are neutral in charge. Can those BEC particles then operate as virtual neutrons to catalyze nuclear reactions? Can the porosity in an alumina tube act as mirrors and to make and capture these photonic BEC? Are the Parkhomov or other glow-tube reactors condensing photonic BECs to supply or catalyze the production of excess energy? Alternatively, is Holmlid's laser setup making photonic BECs which decay into muons? If any of these possibilities is true, there are ways to optimize for photonic BECs ...
