Most people still assume it's wrong. There is the distinct possibility that this BEC experiment could be widely replicated and most people will assume it is wrong. > The problem there is that people seldom try to replicate results which > appear to be wrong on the face of it. > ***What we have here is an experimental piece of the puzzle that shows BECs absorb energy and could account for the 2nd miracle of missing gammas in LENR. Y E Kim's theory has been given yet another leg up. First, it was high temperature BECs forming. Second, it is that BECs absorb energy. BECs do not "disobey" the 2nd law of thermodynamics any more than plasmas do. > > - Jed > >
