Just out of curiosity, is there anything written about "nuclear catalysts" other than related to LENR/cold fusion energy generation? I never heard of a nuclear catalyst before Rossi. I've always thought of a catalyst as a substance which changes the rate of a chemical reaction without being consumed and without changing the equilibrium constant of the underlying reaction. I will also give this one a shot. A number of prominent commenters on the subject of cold fusion: Dr. Miley and Kim, think that quantum entanglement is central to the reaction that transmutes elements. I also hold to this speculation to be true. In explanation as background, the alkali metals are a series of chemical elements in the periodic table. In the modern IUPAC nomenclature, the alkali metals comprise the group 1 elements, along with hydrogen. The alkali metals are lithium (Li), sodium (Na), potassium (K), rubidium (Rb), cesium (Cs), and francium (Fr), Hydrogen (H), although nominally also a member of Group 1. The Rossi catalyst could be a compound of one of these elements. It has been observed that in certain processes involving cold dusty plasmas including thermal-electric processes, that alkali metals will form quantum mechanical(QM) entangled ensembles of atoms that will tend to produce coherent entanglements of exotic hydrogen species of dust or crystals which hold promise to drive unanticipated nuclear processes like cold fusion. (QM) entanglement was rejected by Albert Einstein as totally unbelievable and contrary to his theory of relativity but after many years of experimentation (QM) entanglement was observed to defy the rules of the Einsteinian Universe thereby defying its rules for both space and time. The question becomes what happens when an entangled sub-atomic particle enters a nuclear reaction when it finds its way into an atomic nucleus and participates in that nuclear reaction. How do the strong force and/or the weak force affect a proton and/or an electron that is entangled with some 100 other protons and electrons outside and far away from that nucleus? Is the entanglement of the tunneling particle broken or does it still remain uncertain (stays entangled)? It has been shown that QM blockade caused by a nuclear catalyst will affect material over very long distances (centimeters) by inducing that exposed material (hydrogen and/or nickel) into an entangled state. This is a possible QM mechanism that underlies how the Rossi catalyst might work.
