A Rube Goldberg machine performs a very simple task in a very complex fashion, usually including a chain reaction.
Over the years, the expression has expanded to mean any confusing or complicated system. LENR is the quintessential Rube Goldberg machine. Just like high temperature superconductivity, LENR is a chain reaction involving scores of complex quantum mechanical interactions replete with incomprehensible and inscrutable effects that interact in complex and obscure ways. Understanding the quantum mechanical complexities of the LENR process may currently be beyond the scope of our current science. But like anything in which huge amounts of money can be made, the desire for enormous profits and the competition and interest that this desire engenders will drive reverse engineering of LENR to miraculous levels. Just to give an idea of how weird that the LENR process might be, I just ran across a completely unexpected quantum mechanical process that might greatly complicate and obscure the LENR effect in the Ni/H reactor. http://arstechnica.com/science/2013/09/snobbish-photons-forced-to-pair-up-and-get-heavy/ Snobbish photons forced to pair up and get heavy This counterintuitive Nanoplasmonic effect seems to fit nicely into the wheelhouse of the quantum mechanical zoo operating inside the Ni/H reactor where Rydberg matter and heat play major roles. We now suspect that Rydberg matter does play a central role in the Ni/H reactor. In fact, the primary activity produced by the “secret sauce” is to produce Rydberg matter in a cold plasma hydrogen condensate. It now appears that Rydberg matter can turn light (infrared) into photonic matter through the Rydberg blockade effects. The effects inside the Ni/H reactor mimic ultra-cold physics since the same quantum mechanical principles applies in both low temperature physics and the effects seen in condensing cold plasmas. What happens to these entangled infrared photons trapped inside this cold plasma? Do they form atoms? Do they form photonic nanoparticles? Do they combine with electrons and/or magnetism to form a new state of EMF? To answer these other worldly type quantum mechanical questions that will advance our science, we need to whip up the frenzied competitive forces engendered in the profit motive so that unlimited money and scientific talent can be redirected to this subject. There is one thing for sure; clearly LENR is no place for sissies. On Tue, Oct 8, 2013 at 5:04 AM, Peter Gluck <[email protected]> wrote: > My dear Friends, > > May I ask your help again?
