From: Daniel Rocha That's the energy excitation corresponding Debye temperature in palladium at 275K. That's odd.

Both odd, cold, and possible "magnon-omous" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnon Side note on semantics - old, new, and collective.
Given that Ni-H is not a fusion reaction, but Pd-D probably is, and both could involve phonon stimulation in a confined cavity at essentially "cold" temperature levels (below ambient average phonon frequency)... Given that there could be some relevance to ~15 THz photon stimulation and LENR, and this frequency is the equivalent of ~250 degrees K or -23 C, -10 F ... in other words: "damn cold" ... Isn't it somehow appropriate to consider that maybe we should be calling the entire field: "cold confusion" ... :-)
