No animosity against W&L. Like I said, I don't have a pet theory to promote or debunk. I consider all theories as possible explanations.
It's just that, Ed's new model appears to be superior to W&L's convoluted steps. Ed's straightforward protium fusion is more consistent with observed results. Axil's theory appears to be even better.

I thought that is was a property inside space (a field), and that electrons as particle are just a propagation mode in void. in solid, with interaction with other and with other field it might be (and is ) very different. think also for protons. note that interpreting hydrogen as atomic is not so evident, because inside a metal the electron might be shared with the metal, and the proton swimming separately inside, maybe interfering (as a similar but distinct field) with colleagues. the atomic interpretation of hydrogen seems to consider hydrogen is an independent solid/liquid in the crack, while it may be a complex plasma inside crystal. by the way quantum coherence assumptionof WL, is the same used for the shielding theory. Both theories assume some quantum interference, and not to interpret particle or atoms as marbles. I don't understand the animosity against WL, yet I understand that it is only one in many possibilities that share the following ideas : - imply high surface NAE - imply local instabilities - imply quantum coherence to overcame high energy barrier 2012/6/11 Jojo Jaro <[email protected]> Yes, Lou's freight train analogy is nice, unfortunately, it is not a very accurate analogy. In the train example, we expect the energy of the 100 cars behind the lead car to impart all its energy to the lead car. This only becomes true when the lead car can "absorb", "Store" and "concentrate" energy - in this case all the kinetic energy of the 100 cars behind it in an elastic collision. As Ed correctly pointed out, the electron is a fundamental particle that CAN NOT "store" energy from it's neighbors. If a mechanism can be found that can do this and concentrate 7,000,000 times the energy into one electron, and do it at a rate consistent with the energy release rate obversed, then find a mechanism that can create ULMN at the correct rates, then W&L might become a viable explanation. One of the major objections to W&L is that the 'reaction rates" are all inconsistent. It's one thing to imagine a plausible mechanism, it's another thing for that mechansim to occur at rates sufficient to explain the phenomenom. It's all a question of probability and rates. This argument applies to all other neutron creation ideas brought up in this thread - ie. cosmic rays, stray gammas, nanoantennas etc. While these mechanisms are probable, it just is not occuring at the correct rates to explain the phenomenom. BTW: the 0.1eV is the surrounding energy. Ed's point is that 0.76MeV must be harvested from a chemical sea of energy whose average is less than 0.1 eV. Hence a concentration of over 7,000,000 times. Ed does bring up a very good point. Whatever mechanism we propose, it must be consistent with known mechanisms known to operate in a known chemical environment. Lou's explanation appears to be inconsistent with what we generally know about the behavior in such chemical environment. But as always; I am all ears to any corrections to my understanding, and I am willing to be wrong.
