The Reifenschweiler effect is evidence for the relativistic interpretation of Casimir effect and further supports Jan Naudts Suggestion of relativistic hydrogen to explain fractional hydrogen in the Black Light process. The effect delays Beta decays When tritium is absorbed into 15nm titanium clusters obviously meeting Casimir geometry and permittivity. The delay is Caused by fractional orbits forming bonds that are able to maintain this fractional bond outside the cavity. Where T may Translate to T/x just like fractional hydrogen it is only a tiny transient population and will reverse translate on the way out of the Casimir field. My posit is that bonding of these fractional atoms is in opposition to this translation and the Casimir force will break any bonds more than A certain threshold. The 25-30% delay mentioned in the Reifenschweiler effect would equate to average population of T/4 where the bonds Of these fractional T diatoms are maintaining their existence outside of the cavities and are accumulating in the population. When the temperature Is raised higher these free fractional diatoms are easiest to disassociate since their bonds are already in opposition to the inappropriate fractional states of their atoms.

Remarkably at 360 C the original radioactivity reappears. The effect is absent in bulk metal. Discovered around 1960/1962 at Philips Research Eindhoven, The Netherlands Reifenschweiler extensively discussed his observation with o.a Casimir (the director of research at the time), Kistemaker (ultracentrifuge expert), and although no satisfactory explanation was found, R. was allowed to publish it. At the time a unique example as to how an electronic environment might affect nuclear phenomena..." Harry
