You may be right. Time will tell. >Robin, you are making an assumption here. You are assuming that no >energy has been lost before the neutrino is emitted and the electron >is absorbed. Suppose, as I have proposed, the energy is lost as a >series of photons before the electron is added so that no energy >remains to be carried by the neutrino. Cold fusion is unique because >it requires this kind of process, i.e. the energy must be lost before >the fusion process is complete. In contrast, hot fission occurs when >all energy is lost at the time fusion is complete. That is the >essential difference between the two phenomenon.
