In nature, there are situations in which exotic forms of matter form. These crystalline substances can be expressed within a wide array of physical processes each associated with a particular set of corresponding elements or chemical compounds and within various temperature ranges even at extreme high temperatures in cooling plasma.
Science is beginning to study these exotic forms of matter formed at temperatures near absolute zero so that the experimenter can see how Rydberg atoms operate in a benign environment devoid of temperature distortions which can make observation impossible. But just because science uses cold temperature methods to study this stuff does not mean that nature does not find its own ways to make this material within every temperature regime. For *example*, there is a belief to which I adhere postulates that the red-orange plasma afterglow of a lightning bolt called ball lightning is an example of this exotic form of matter called Rydberg matter; a long-lived excited state of matter. After the lightning bolt, as the plasma that the bolt has spawned in the atmosphere cools, sometimes Rydberg matter made up of nitrogen atoms forms. From: http://physicsworld.com/cws/article/news/18264 “Gilman suggests that the plasma ball has a very low density - comparable with the density of air - and is made up of Rydberg atoms. These are atoms whose valence electron has been excited into an orbital with a very high quantum number. He calculates that the radius of such an orbital could be as large as a few centimetres, and that the average atom would thus have a very large polarizability. Attractive Van der Waals interactions - which increase as the polarizability of atoms increase - could then be responsible for the cohesion between the atoms. He computes a value for the cohesive energy per atom to be about one hundredth that of a metal.” I am introducing the ball lighting concept as a preamble to a discussion of a paper from Edward Lewis called: Evidence of Ball Lightning -- A Survey of Some Recent Experimental Papers Describing Microscopic Objects Associated with Transmutation Phenomena http://lenr-canr.org/acrobat/LewisEevidenceofb.pdf Edward Lewis has done a large amount of legwork for me in documenting ball lighting(aka Rydberg matter) as a causation of transmutation of elements and cold fusion. Lewis also introduces the term “Lochak monopoles” which the Russians have invented that also is a synonym for Rydberg crystal. I will post on Lochak monopoles later. Lewis writes: “About the year 2000, Urutskoev and his associates discovered strange markings, like those earlier reported by Matsumoto, on nuclear emulsions near an electrical discharge experiment [6], along with other kinds of tracks. Urutskoev reported that the objects that made the “comet-like” tracks described in his article passed through black paper, and somehow left the unusual tracks that he photographed. Even more “strange,” these objects were emitted from a component of their experiment even after the object and some water was removed and placed in a petri dish. This “life after death” effect is evidence that atoms in the component were in a state I call the “ball lightning” state [2, 7, 8]. I think that this state of matter and energy is the same state as ball lightning.” Rydberg crystals(aka ball lighting) will survive for a long time based on its level of excitation. Rydberg matter will produce “life after death” of the reaction after input power is removed or even if the Rydberg crystals are removed to a remote location. Rydberg crystals are truly cold fusion magic dust.
