The collapse of a micro bubble produces a polariton condensate as witnessed by the generation of EUV light (sonoluminescence).
I have been trying to imagine what happens when a polariton condensate envelops matter in terms of how transmutation happens. Here is my first cut at it. The polariton is a very special particle in that it has negative (imaginary) mass. This special imaginary mass condition gives the polariton special properties that are the key to the reconfiguration of unstable matter. Both LENR and the interaction of superconducting clusters as happens in Holmlid’s ultra-dense hydrogen will produce lossless polariton condensation. Mathematically, the polarition field has imaginary mass and is therefore a tachyonic field. While tachyons (particles that move faster than light) are a purely hypothetical concept, fields with imaginary mass have come to play an important role in modern physics. Under no circumstances do any excitations ever propagate faster than light in such theories – the presence or absence of a tachyonic mass has no affect whatsoever on the maximum velocity of signals (there is no violation of causality). "The name 'tachyon' (from the Greek 'tachys,' meaning swift) was coined by the late Gerald Feinberg of Columbia University. Tachyons have never been found in experiments as real particles traveling through the vacuum, but it has been experimentally verified that tachyon-like objects exist as faster-than-light electron bases hydrid 'quasiparticles' moving through laser-like media. (That is, they exist as particle-like excitations, specifically as quasiparticles called phonons and polaritons that are found in solids. 'Laser-like media' is a technical term referring to those media that have inverted atomic populations, the conditions prevailing inside a laser.) Population inversion: In science, specifically statistical mechanics, a population inversion occurs while a system (such as a group of atoms or molecules) exists in a state in which more members of the system are in higher, excited states than in lower, unexcited energy states. The imaginary mass of the polariton creates instability: Any configuration in which one or more field excitations are tachyonic must spontaneously decay, and the resulting configuration contains no physical tachyons. This process is known as tachyon condensation. The "imaginary mass" really means that the system becomes unstable. When matter is excited by the tachyon field of the polariton condensate, the zero value field is at a local maximum rather than a local minimum of its potential energy, much like a ball at the top of a hill. A very small impulse (which will always happen due to quantum fluctuations) will lead the field to roll down with exponentially increasing amplitudes toward the local minimum. In this way, tachyon condensation drives a physical system that has reached a local limit and might naively be expected to produce physical tachyons, to an alternate stable state where no physical tachyons exist. Once the tachyonic field reaches the minimum of the potential, its quanta are not tachyons any more but rather are ordinary particles with a positive mass-squared. When the tachyon field is discontinued, matter reconfigures itself into a new transmuted configuration. The Higgs field is an example of an imaginary mass based tachyonic condensate field that produces chiral state transitions in fermions such as chirality changes in the electron family, quark type transitions, and neutrino type transitions. It is these changes of state that give fermions mass.
