Check out Slashdot - or the SciNews feeds today- big story with no details: Ultra Dense Deuterium
It is said to be much denser than metallic deuterium, where the bond distance would be 153 pm (1.53 angstroms) or 2.9 times the Bohr radius of the atom. Even metallic hydrogen has a density of approximately 0.6 kg / dm3. (0.6 grams/cc or 0.6 times as dense as water- so yet it would float easily) ..yet this is said to be 100,000 times more dense. They do not even mention bosons. Do they even appreciate what a boson is? One of the worst written science articles of all times - that is why no citation is given. Don't want to embarrass the turkeys. And these dufuss science reporters are told that only LENR experimenters are on the fringe. LOL Of course - none of them considered highly redundant (Millsean) states - i.e. the deuterino. There could also a denser state exists for deuterium, which may or may not be Millsean, and comes from Robert Carroll and others, called the inverse quantum state. Others have called it D(-1) or the inverse of D(1). The bond distance could be very small, equal to 0.23 angstroms. Why not be (if the material is not imaginary altogether) give RM some credit - Mills has a least stuck his neck out with a thousand page tome showing that it could conceivably be something like D(sub 1/137) then heck -- why not give RM some credit, if you are going to do abysmal journalism anyway ? And catch-22 - what keeps it from fusing? D-D fusion would be expected to take place way too easily in this material for it to be stable. BTW isn't this also approximately the same concept as "degenerate matter"? Jones
