I think there is another type of relativistic effect underlying the numerous claims of anomalous heat. Naudts paper on relativistic hydrogen points in the right direction but he fails to elaborate on the unique source of the relativistic environment. A 1999 paper “The Light Velocity Casimir Effect” http://arxiv.org/ftp/physics/papers/9911/9911062.pdf by Tom Ostoma and Mike Trushyk better illustrates this proposed relativistic environment inside a Casimir cavity. IMHO Casimir effect can be interpreted as a relativistic manipulation where space-time is redistributed by the collective effect of the paralell lattices in the cavity walls. The longer wavelengths that appear restricted to us outside the cavity are actually still present inside but appear shorter from our perspective due to a Lorentz like contraction. I say Lorentz like because the time axis is being accelerated instead of a spatial axis like we see in normal near luminal gamma calculations. Actually this is a negative form of equivalent acceleration, accelerating instead of slowing time like a planetary mass but with 2 major differences. #1 Casimir plates that are braced apart oppose time like any mass but the normally atomic scale force is able to accumulate rapidly into the mesoscopic scale and #2 tiny defects in the lattice of these Casimir geometry accumulating plates behave like little holes in a ships sail where the wind whistles through the holes at many times the ambient speed filling the sails. These holes must be tiny compared to the plate area to create a permanent vortex. These vortices inside Casimir cavities break the isotropy of time and gravity but unlike a planetary mass on a large scale or even the Casimir plates on the nanoscale which both oppose and slow time, these Casimir cavities represents an abrupt break in isotropy where time is instead accelerated. There are also anomalous radioactive decay rates associated with Casimir effect that support this relativistic interpretation. “The ‘Reifenschweiler effect’ is the observation that the beta-decay of tritium half-life 12.5 years is delayed reversibly by about 25-30% when the isotope is absorbed in 15 nm titanium-clusters in a temperature window in between 160-275 C. 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.” This effect compares very nicely with the BLP process where the 15 nm titanium cluster are on the same scale as the pores in a skeletal catalyst and the tritium has the added benefit of a measurable half life to compare. Parts of the W-L theory also point to a “collective action at a distance” of atoms in a cathode lattice to create neutrons within collectively oscillating patches of protons or deuterons found on surfaces of hydrogen-loaded metallic hydrides ( a less organized group of protons at the boundary layer of a catalyst and hydrides). The tendency of the larger more synchronized group to try and slave the smaller less organized group outside of the lattice seems obvious but Robins comment regarding the weak force being 1/256 also casts doubt on the overall theory. Here again I think a relativistic or virtual model might Be a better fit – If a ULM is instead relativistic and the wavelength/size straddles the entire less organized patch of protons or deuterons then everything including the strong force and weak forces are scaled in the same manner(perhaps the h/d are even fractional to further enhance this effect). I would expect this force to be distributed throughout the patch and displace atoms or disassociate diatoms rather than the negative beta decay claimed in the theory. Regards Fran on Fri, 28 May 2010 13:35:03 fznidarsic said Teh range of the weak force is 1/256 that of the strong force (fermi meters) . It does not extend beyond the surface of a proton or neutron. How then do we believe that weak interactions are taking place at atomic dimensions (nano meters) are taking place? Frank Z, they claim [quote]neutrons are created within collectively oscillating patches of protons or deuterons (found on surfaces of hydrogen-loaded metallic hydrides) that can react directly with heavy-mass electrons created by the huge local nanoscale electric fields that also occur on the hydrogen-coated metallic surfaces. [/quote] The crystalline structure perfectly aligns and confines deuterium nuclei with itself providing an extremely uniform spacing and a resonant environment where the nuclei oscillate in phase. When they mention a “ huge local nanoscale electric fields that also occur on the hydrogen-coated metallic surfaces” they are IMHO really looking at Casimir effect . My relativistic interpretation of Casimir effect allows the minimal spacing between the cavity walls and the focal point to extend down into the lattice by exchanging time for space. Below is a paper I just found this morning that reflects my view on light velocity in a Casimir cavity as observed from both inside and outside a cavity. The additional storage capacity of gas atoms in a lattice and catalytic action both fit well this relativistic perspective, The Casimir effect also resolves the action at a distance regarding the accumulation of a force that is only 1/256 th of the strong force. Regardless if their neutron is real or virtual it only needs to act a force carrier. I suggested Casimir force might be perceived as a virtual particle in constant contact with all the gas atoms in a Casimir cavity several weeks ago in a thread here on Vortex. This was to meet Robin’s requirement of a 3 body collision to release the spectrum shifted photon characteristic of the Black Light process. I don’t see this spectrum shifted plasma mentioned in the W-L theory which is why I am suggesting their force might also be dispersed to reverse more conventional chemical reactions like the formation of diatoms. The odd spectrum occurring as the light is Doppler shifted by the gradient in the Casimir fields while exiting the cavity. Regards Fran
