Since the glow cannot be evidence of hot fusion, a few vorticians
may be led to wonder - what about LENR? or fractional hydrogen as the source?
You know, my garbage was warm when I picked it up to toss it in the
compactor at the dump. What about LENR for that? How about leakage of
energy from an alternate universe? Or maybe someone tossed an ORBO in
there and it self-started.
Sure, but isn't a little bit premature to speculate on this? Like, is
there any evidence that there isn't some other source, like what
keeps the earth so warm in the core? I.e., radioactive decay. Come to
think of that, isn't this LENR? After all, nuclear, and takes place
at low temperatures. So, okay, maybe it's LENR. But I have the
feeling you meant something else.
(I've never seen anyone use LENR to refer to radioactive decay,
mostly because something that happens with a single nucleus isn't
thought of as a "reaction," i.e., something with more than one
particle to start, something happens between them, they "react" or or
with each other.)
