In pursuit of a better understanding of LENR, I wanted to find out what was behind some of the latest ideas about the nucleus. This includes strong and weak force equivalence called in the physics game "S-duality".
It seems to me that the guy who thought this idea up does not believe in quarks. http://arxiv.org/pdf/hep-th/9407087.pdf *Electric-Magnetic Duality,* * * *Monopole Condensation, And Confinement* * * *In N = 2 Supersymmetric Yang-Mills Theory* N. Seiberg Department of Physics and Astronomy Rutgers University, Seiberg bases his theories on monopoles and Dyons http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dyon "In physics <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physics>, a *dyon* is a hypothetical particle in 4-dimensional theories with both electric<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electricity>and magnetic <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetism> charges. A dyon with a zero electric charge <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_charge> is usually referred to as a magnetic monopole<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_monopole>. Many grand unified theories<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_unification_theory>predict the existence of both magnetic monopoles and dyons. Dyons were first proposed[1] <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dyon#cite_note-1>by Julian Schwinger <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julian_Schwinger> in 1969 as a phenomenological alternative to quarks. He extended the Dirac quantization condition <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirac_quantization_condition> to the dyon and used the model to predict the existence of a particle with the properties of the J/ψ meson <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J/%CF%88_meson>prior to its discovery in 1974." Schwinger was a true believer in cold fusion and a Nobel Prize winner who was ostracized for that belief by the scientific community. After 10 years, these "out of the box" ideas as gaining some traction among the who's who in physics. The Higgs theory fits into all this somehow. IMHO, I think that the roots of LENR and zero point energy lies deep inside this rat's nest of incomprehensible concepts and string theory. But feel assured, we will track the crumbs no matter where they lead and no matter how many aspirins are needed.
