Ed, You must be joking. Are you really implying that QM is a "mental game" having no value for LENR?
This paper does not strike me as any kind of frivolity, since it is based on data accumulated over many years - but your remarks ring of tunnel vision and are hard to take seriously. I can only hope that somewhere along the way you have not missed or ignored ... or are not in denial about quantum mechanics - and especially QM relative to Kalman's conclusions - including wave function, probability density and position-space. They have model called the "solid state internal conversion process" which is based on accumulated data from low energy accelerator physics. They hope to apply that model to other phenomena, including LENR. If you were not aware of it, it is in the third citation. This paper is about measuring the probability for that reaction, a which is known to happen at low energy. The problem for transposing to LENR is that the probability may not be high enough. What I expected to see from skeptics is that their estimate is too high, but not that this is some kind of game... LOL. If you want to issue a blanket denial of the reality of QM for LENR then say so - as that seems to be the conclusion which makes the most sense from your remarks. That - or a knee-jerk rebuttal to any theory not you own. Jones -----Original Message----- From: Edmund Storms Jones, I know it is fun to speculate and play mental games in science, but why waste time when the game has no value. This paper you find interesting is a mathematical game having no relationship to reality. If anything, this exercise shows just how flawed the theory being used really is.
