A question for the Vort Collective: Does the use of the term "Fusion" HAVE to imply there must exist a mechanism or process that directly overcomes the Coulomb barrier - by brute force?
Could "fusion" also be used to explain a mechanism or process, a process that is not yet understood and as such is still being debated, processes that seem to ignore and/or completely side-step the dreaded Coulomb Barrier issue? I could be wrong on this point (and please correct me if I am) but I've gotten the impression that many if not most scientists believe "fusion" MUST involve a mechanism that DIRECTLY overcomes the dreaded Coulomb barrier. I'm under the impression that to come up with any other explanation or theory that attempts to introduce a mechanism that finesses its way around the dreaded CB would NOT be considered a legitimate theory. Just curious. Regards Steven Vincent Johnson www.OrionWorks.com www.zazzle.com/orionworks
