Subject: "Names that Work"

[Aside]: I am adding a second subject header to the start of posts until the Vortex server software gets out of the habit of the dreaded "blank subject header". My last attempt at a kludge for this problem was to compose the post in MS Word first, and then paste into Outlook, but that failed effort resulted in spacing of 3 blank lines between paragraphs. Oh well. Is everything from MS buggy or what ? or is the software trying to tell me something about the (lack of) weighty content in these posts?

There will be some heavier content, in this particular thread, coming out on Vo later - on the important subject of two new species of heavy hydrogen...

...cough, cough... That sound a little presumptive, no?

Two new species of hydrogen, undetected by science for all theses years ... riiiight! OK. These two have been detected in a way, already, but not given real names nor well-understood previously ... until R. Mills provided the basic insight with his brilliant concept of redundant-ground-state forms of hydrogen..

However, before even getting into that most provocative light subjects, to wit:
       (and this is your teaser)

1) Faux-D
2) Faux-T
2) Lunar 3He  - being the decay product of Faux-T

... first ... a little light humor, based on googling... the purpose being to see if anyone had beaten RvS to the punch with the name: "faux-D"...

... humor... as derived form one of the more curious of those societal "coincidences" in which (for whatever reason) ... a person of some accomplishment happens to have chosen a profession (unconsciously for sure) which is reflective of his/her real surname ... like a Jazzman named Strahorn or a guitar player named Strummer, or a surgeon named Stitch or a lawyer named Cheatam ... not to mention the infamous Ernest Griesel -- yes, that is his birth name - who drives a diesel whose engine he converted to run on grease.

well it turns up in LENR as well ... (beyond the cross-cultural close-call of "Mizuno" meaning water, in Japanese). Here is one which is even more curious examples to naming juxtaposed to the arcane hypothesis which I will be airing sometime in the next few days, which has already been labeled as "Faux-D" by Robin.

"Nuclear spin relaxation by translational diffusion of hydrogen in BCC metals: the effect of hopping to second-nearest neighbors"

by Faux, D  1991 J. Phys.: Condens. Matter 3 2201-2205

D. A. Faux,  Dept. of Phys.  Surrey Univ.  Guildford, UK

Abstract. Quantities relevant to the theoretical determination of D/T1 are calculated ... using the Monte Carlo/analytic method devised by Faux, Ross and Sholl (1986) ... Results are obtained for the hydrogen-to-metal ratio of 0.6 for a multiple-site-blocking model in which the hydrogen spins block all sites to either the second or the third neighbor.
