It is not logical to state that because the results of a particular transmutation theory are not in evidence, then all transmutation must be ruled out. Oh, and BTW, your own theory is also a transmutation theory (in the broadest sense). ;) > >Ed >On Jun 22, 2013, at 11:44 PM, Axil Axil wrote: > >> The transmutation model that I believe that the ash assays of LENR >> reactors point to is a quark plasma model in which nuclei are broken >> down by fission and concurrently built up by fusion.
