To continue the implosion/explosion topic, and the opposing perspectives
in greater detail, here is a reworded post about the Dirac epo field,
the 6.8 eV ionization potential of positronium, and quantum time reversal.
In general, reciprocity (reciprocality being the spatial version) is a
relationship of mutual dependence. It is one of those pregnant terms
whose meaning is widespread in many aspects of life, from the atom to
the planet, and can exist in quantum mechanics in the form of dualities.
Reciprocity may have a special relevance in physics at the subatomic
level beyond the concept of wave/particle duality, to be found in
Dirac's concept of "reciprocal-space" ... which unfortunately, is
thought by most to be a mathematical construct; but probably is no more
limited to math than the 'neutrino' concept once was. For purposes of
this analysis, we can be identify reciprocal-space with the Dirac sea of
negative energy.
The image seen on the cover of Rothwell's translation of Mizuno if it is
an implosion into reciprocal space, probably involves a large number of
degenerate electrons. The 50 or so electrons of a typical "LENR exciton"
which is the loaded-Pd nanoparticle in the active zone, will have
collapsed into an energy vortex, becoming negative electrons following
the initial *implosion.* This is then accentuated by a secondary
outgassing of deuterium and fusion ash; but devoid of much of the
expected energy which "went the other way". BTW, almost everyone who
sees that image says it looks like a "frozen tornado" but ... hello...
tornados are formed by rapid spin around a low pressure core, not high
by 'explosions' which look much different (bowl cavity).
The most basic quantity in the modeling of reciprocal-space is a Fourier
transform of 3-space mass/density but you have to be careful with the
details. Because of the ease of this technique, some aspects of cold
fusion can be shoehorned into either the "phonon dispersal" or
alternatively the reciprocal-space concepts, but one cannot ignore the
time constraint. Scott Chubb explains the lack of a 23-24 MeV photon (in
that subset of LENR where helium is seen) as an "instant wave
dispersion." The problem there is that the ratio of wavelengths involved
(10^9-1) is way too high for there exist any type of connectivity within
the allotted time frame. Another way of looking at the Chubb view is
that it is like having an egg fall off a table and fracturing into about
a billion tiny identical pieces, all of exactly the same size with none
much larger (or else they would stand out like a sore thumb on radiation
monitors).
BTW if anyone has mustered the necessary "suspension of disbelief" to
follow this argument this far, then they may be asking "where is the
reciprocality"? ... i.e. if degenerate electrons get sequestered into
the Dirac sea, then how does the excess heat get from the sea, back into
the CF cell?
The short answer is that, in QM terms, the energy in question has
already been withdrawn in advance (in the form of UV radiation - 6.8 eV
quanta which do couple well to bare deuterons) and which coupling may
cause the electron degeneracy which preceded and precipatated the
*implosion* ... i.e. the lost electrons end up being the "repayment" for
that early withdrawal of energy ...
A longer explanation of this concept (explaining the importance of the
6.8 eV number- which is the magical value of this type of ZPE - it being
the IP of positronium) may follow.... or, in the spirit of QM
reciprocity, perhaps it has already preceded....
