It is easy to go over the top with dramatization on this one. This scenario does not need to involve parallel universes (in the SciFi sense) nor anything theological. In fact, Dirac's "reciprocal space" works fine - as the "repository" for deep hydrinos, and with no other fictional "baggage" so to speak.
BTW - for those who do not grasp what actually happened in the EPRI reports, here is a short synopsis of Ahern's experiments. First, there is a well insulated reactor with numerous RTDs for accurate temperature measurement. The reactor is filled with pressurized hydrogen and various sample nanopowders - including an inert control powder. There is a resistance heater, drawing in the tens of watts. The current is kept absolutely constant to the heater, so that there is no variation on P-in during the run. With the 'control', you will find from datalogging that a specific rate of thermal transfer occurs between the outer RTD, where the heater is located and the inner. Hydrogen under pressure is a good conductor of heat so this is normally only a few degrees. For example, in the control setup (no active powder) one might see 350C on the outside and 340C on the inside. The difference is minimal and never varies. OK - when one switches from the control to active nanopowder, things get interesting and if there is excess energy from the interaction of hydrogen with the powder, there will be an "inversion", so that the inner RTD becomes hotter - often much hotter than the outer. That happens with nano-nickel, and the resulting temperature can be close to 100 degrees inverted. This is NOT calorimetry, but there are implications to be firmed up on further experimentation. The interesting part (for this thread) is that with Titanium nanopowder, instead of a temperature inversion indicating gain, you get an anomalous "sink." For instance, instead of an expected 10 degree drop (out-to-in) the spread can be much higher, an order of magnitude perhaps, indicating "active cooling". Any round numbers above are for illustration purposes only; but the results are shocking and significant in both anomalies - heat and cooling. And guess what, the cooling anomaly could be almost as important as the heating, in terms of new physics. EVEN IF THERE IS NO PATH TO COMERCIALIZATION - for an active cooling anomaly, it could be important if it points the way to an accurate understanding of the heat. That is where this is going. I havent heard a better explanation for active nano-cooling than the disappearance of matter from one spatial dimension into "reciprocal space." This space may not be a true dimension, but a fractal instead. "Fractal" is being used in the original way to mean a fractional dimension. Plus, the matter which is lost may not be a neutron, per se, but instead a maximum-redundant hydrino. Essentially, what I think happens with nano-titanium cooling is that the nanoparticles - which are a strong Mills' catalyst - collapse to the full redundancy in one continuous step - where there is both heat release on shrinkage, followed immediately by massive heat loss. on the atomic level, when the hydrino essentially disappears into reciprocal space. The net result is active cooling. Why it only happens with titanium needs to be answered. Perhaps it is a momentum effect of some kind. E=mc^2 works both ways, apparently - and when mass "disappears" - in a dimensional sense, so does the corresponding energy it contained. This is seen as heat removal from a hot reactor. The active species does not have to be 'mirror matter' as in the original article - but if that helps in appreciating the view through Alice's 'looking glass' - good! ... it is kind of catchy, so let's keep it.
