AA: The cold fusion reaction must be the
same for all systems if we look deep enough.
JB: That is absurd. There is not the least bit of evidence
for that proposition. In fact, the evidence points to perhaps a dozen
energetic reactions of hydrogen when loaded into condensed matter.
JR: There may be no evidence for this, but it seems likely
based on what McKubre calls the conservation of miracles.
First off - LENR is no miracle. We are at the stage of adequate proof. The
past irregularity in the Lab, of finding any LENR reaction at all - is still
with us, Rossi notwithstanding. But that irregularity in itself is
indicative of there being many energetic pathways of variable probability.
As is Mills and the extraordinary variety of findings of transmutation or no
transmutation, helium-e or tritium or helium-4 etc.
Second, there is nothing in physics related to the silly notion of
"conservation of miracles". It is merely a reflection of the ignorance of
the observer.
Thirdly, hydrogen makes up most of the Universe - perhaps 90% of what we can
see, and up to 99% of all mass, if dark matter is hydrogen in a DDL (deep
Dirac level). Thus, it could be opined that if there were such a parameter
as "miracles" (inherent ignorance) then the vast majority of those should be
relate to hydrogen.
In short, a dozen different versions of LENR could be on the low side :-)
You can compare this to combustion, which works differently
with different materials. Sometimes it produces smoke; sometimes it doesn't.
Sometimes it is rapid in an explosion, sometimes slow. As Chris Tinsley
often pointed out, taking a broader view, you can even say that metabolism
is a form of combustion.
