-----Original Message----- From: Frank Roarty "I think if he meant heat he would have said so, I suggest this was a very early attempt at what Naudts later calls relativistic hydrogen or what Caltech refers to as "squeezing" toward a one dimensional atom. Since the energy density between the conductors of a Casimir cavity is less than normal, Casimir energy is said to be negative. The very high mobility mentioned by P/F is not a proxy for high temperature. The atom is actually decelerating relative to any reference point outside of the catalyst "plates".
Now let's move this thought into the context of a rather famous expanse of 'negative energy'. A virtual sea of it. One of the appealing things to me about Fran's description of LENR being related to this relativistic geometrical dynamic is the way that is can mesh into Dirac's idea of reciprocal space - as enhanced by the Fourier transform of time <--> ZPE frequencies. In so doing, we avoid the question of how negative energy can not only stimulate fusion, but also how some of the energy byproducts (gamma frequencies) can be deposited "somewhere" without much of a physical effect on our 3-space. The FT transforms one function of a real variable (typically time) into new function which may or not be "real" to the same degree - typically involving frequency. In effect, the Fourier transform decomposes a time function into an oscillatory function. "Reciprocal space" can be defined these days in a similar way - as the transform of a spatial function into an oscillatory function, taking us from "real space" into what "might be" something more than a mathematical construct. That is the strange thing about mathematical "constructs" in a way is that they can become their own self-reflecting identity, since if they are accurate enough, they seem to magically morph into the "reality" that they once described hypothetically. The prime example of this is the neutrino. Jones
