I believe that symmetry has had its day in the Sun. Physics has exploited symmetry for all that it is worth and now it is a completely dry hole. But I also believe that dualism the kissing cousin of symmetry has got some more insights to give to science. The dualism between superconductivity, black holes, and Bose condensates could unearth some new paths forward for LENR.
Nuclear activity is detectable whenever Bose condensation is not established firmly withing the LENR reaction. This lack of condensation is when neutrons are detected and unstable isotopes are produced.
