Fran,
* Harry, I think it is more a matter of proving how the Casimir environment is equivalent to the stellar environment. Which stellar environment? There are literally trillions of different stellar environments, all of them unique because the mass of the predecessor star is unique, but there is only one Casimir force. Are you suggesting that the Casimir force is different on every single planet? I think not. Or that on earth, this force somehow "knows" what the stellar environment was billions of years ago when the isotope balance was frozen into place, and can now match it? I find that preposterous. Each of these stars can have drastically different isotope balance, following a Nova. We know this as fact - because we occasionally find meteorites that come from different systems, or even from different time frames in the Nova that preceded earth. The isotope balances are vastly different. For instance, this was what Luis Alvarez used to pinpoint the cause of the last mass extinction. He found evidence of lots of iridium - and element that is extremely rare on earth, but it is found at massively increased levels (1000 times more) in the so-called K-T boundary layer. To imagine that LENR can operate to transmute elements in a way that matches exactly one of trillions of stellar events, and that it also is the exact match for the planet where the LENR occurs . LOL . think about the odds. Jones
