Jones, Frank G liked my post on 'Next Big Future' and made a reference to "Beta ether" in his reply which, at the time, was meaningless to me but I have since been picking up little bits and pieces of it... so yes if Terry has some citations or synopsis of Beta Ether please paste it here or as a new thread. I like that Grimer came at this from 'concrete' as I was always interested in the heat associated with curing and the possibilities of what might be occurring to trapped atmosphere inside closed calcium cavities. I came at to these conclusions by assuming the Rowan confirmation had to be correct regarding excess heat and tripped over the relationship between skeletal catalysts and nano powders. Your perspective was far more succinct where skeletal catalysts are just the inverse geometry of nano powders that gave Mills a 10 year head start. Regarding your statement " a Casimir type of push gives everything its strength", This exactly matches my position that the periodic table reflects the differences in pressure exerted by the ether upon spatial matter. Puthoff made some reference to this as well but I don't think he ever expanded on it.

Too bad that you were not around to enjoy some of Frank Grimer's aether musings a few years back... He has a hierarchical aether theory that could fit in very well to the Rossi effect. The "beta-aether" would be comparable to your relativistic Casimir cavity and ZPE. Maybe Terry, who took over moderation of that Forum, has an abstract from Frank's theory to paste here. Spillover hydrogen would exist on the next lower hierarchical level - gamma aether, at least as I understand it, since it is picometer. Like many theories, Frank's makes more sense when you live with it a while and have an expert to explain how it fits - and understand the background from which it was derived - which is "concrete," in this case, so to speak. The most controversial element of it would be that the strength of materials is not due to valence bonding, as we normally assume, but for the most part is from the external aether itself. IOW a Casimir type of push gives everything its strength - and iron has high tensile strength due it better coupling interaction to that external force - not the chemical bonds. Jones
