Hi Robin, > notice that the nuclear force also varies with the sixth power of distance, perhaps there is a connection?
Good point. I will attempt to engage Dr. Brown in further discourse on this. Another interesting point is "It is nevertheless already clear from the above data that entangled states are favored in the stoichiometric regime. The existence of a low temperature phase in which all the deuterons cohere in a mesoscopically entangled state is hence strongly indicated." Can a "mesoscopically entangled state" be related to transitory BEC oscillations? Plus, it sounds a lot like Qubits. This is a feature of QM that has not yet been applied to energy, so far as I know. http://arxiv.org/abs/0704.3489 The interesting thing about a QBEC or quasi-BEC - which is a composite boson that may spend only a tiny fraction of its lifetime in the BEC state before oscillating back, is that it may nevertheless remain entangled with all of the other QBECs during the 99.99999999% of the time they are not bosonic. Complex as it all is, this is starting to come together as a package. Jones
