What follows is strictly on the QT...

This thesis on quantum time (QT ?) is interesting for this
conclusion:
"in quantum mechanics, time plays a role unlike any other
observable. We find that measuring whether an event happened, and
measuring when an event happened are fundamentally different - the
two measurements do not correspond to compatible observables and
interfere with each other. The temporal order of events is also
an ambiguous concept in quantum mechanics. It is not always
possible to determine whether one event lies in the future or past
of another event."
... but can the disorientation be coordinated on a massive scale??
If so, the implication is that in LENR ... when a single random,
and extremely low-probability QM tunneling event produces so much
energy and in such a small confined space that "time" itself is
forced to be extended in order that the energy be allowed
dissipate, then that forced slowing-of-time will be balanced by a
corresponding speeding-up of time in the immediate vicinity.
WE are talking sub-nanometer dimensions here.
IOW ... if 24 MeV of energy is dissipated in the preferred
blackbody IR spectrum then there is a cause-and-effect
transaction. For convenience let us say that it is dissipated in
discrete quanta of 1 eV (in actuality it is the median or average
mass-energy for blackbody radiation would be much lower) then
"time" as we normally reckon it - has been slowed down by a factor
of 24 million.
In order to "balance the books" as it were, in the local area of
this one event, time must be speeded up by the same degree, which
increases the probability of a second low-probability reaction of
the kind which caused this nascent "chain reaction" to initiate.
And "chain reaction" is the key to understanding. We end up with a
cascade of local events, each stimulating another, in which local
time is bifurcated in two zones - a fast zone (where tunneling
occurs millions of times faster) and a slow zone (where energy is
dissipated millions of times slower).
The result: you guessed it, didn't you?
COLD FUSION...

...tempus non semper fugit
The most 'pregnant' quote of all time (in the sense of 'bursting
with meaning' ...not to mention the marketing key to the success
of the Swatch) is:
... **time is what you make of it** ...
nothing more, nothing less...
