This is only a half baked idea but perhaps someone else can support or debunk it.. If the Puthoff model is correct than normal matter has an orbital radius that represents a balance between energy density and spontaneous emission. We know spontaneous emissions can be delayed or accelerated by changing the energy density using casimir geometry or waveguides. A deep gravity well such as our sun's also modifies this energy density but at such a slow gradient we normally dismiss it since the field should appear isotropic to all local observers. My question therefore is regarding the Puthoff model for radioactive material. Does the unstable radioactive atom emission rate scale differently than normal matter? Could a solar flare uniformly modify the energy density of the solar system such that all but radioactive material scales uniformly? Fran
