In short, if you can't even get in the ball park of white dwarf matter in the lab, what chance in hell have you of even approaching muon catalysed reaction rates?
<snip> Yes, No chance at all for any kind of fusion, especially with heavy metals. Forget about shrunken atoms, the heavy neutrons of the Larson Widom theory, and the like. They are all working with the strong force. It need high temps to work. In order to reactions working at low temperature you have to invoke another force the nuclear spin orbit force. It's the magnetic component of the strong nuclear force. Its called the spin orbit force and its not conserved. Its a long story that takes a book to describe. That's why I wrote one. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Ddigital-text&field-keywords=%22znidarsic+science+books%22&rh=n%3A133140011%2Ck%3A%22znidarsic+science+books%22 Frank Z
