Finally found the citation for the errors in the Rice/Kim rejection of DDL.
As we know, the editors of Fusion Technology are still living in the dark ages wrt to free flow of information in cyberspace... http://www.ans.org/pubs/journals/download/a_30742 In short, there is a better than average chance that the DDL was real before the cross-connection to dark matter emission at 3.7 keV (red-shifted to 3.5) came along. It could be coincidental, but I doubt it. Now ... with the cosmological boost to other evidence, and the fact that Mills choked on the dark matter detail, and the fact that continuum radiation is far more likely to be the result of downshifting from of low keV x-rays than a first order effect, it looks very probable that DDL offers a better way of understanding the entire field... whether it be gain of any kind of LENR which is devoid of gamma radiation or which depends stepwise reductions or fractionalization, which have no signature lines associated with them. In short, the DDL describes gain in Mills experiments better than Mills own theory and also explains LENR without the fiction of gamma shielding. _____________________________________________ FWIW ... if the dark matter state of hydrogen, which is at the deep ground state known as the DDL can be identified as a magnetic monopole then every atom of dark matter would be mutually repulsed by every other, and gravitational attraction would presumably be overwhelmed by magnetic repulsion, thus allowing large clouds of dark matter to form, yet to never condense or aggregate gravitationally. But monopoles have never been detected, correct? Monatomic hydrogen is normally a strong polarized magnetic particle, and the implication is that in being reduced in volume by a factor of 64,000:1 (or whatever the exact reduction ratio happens to be) something happens to the species to effectively nullify the polarity but not the field, with the result being a "virtual monopole." Or rather, a multipole that looks and acts exactly like a monopole should look and act. The way this could happen in dark matter is via multipolar vortices and a state of multipolar rapid equilibria observed in two-dimensional flows at high Reynolds numbers. The structure has the interesting feature of being completely ''invisible'' in that its presence cannot be detected anywhere outside the support of the vorticity. IOW there may indeed be no monopoles in nature, just rapidly alternating multipoles that look like them. Crowdy almost got it right. http://wwwf.imperial.ac.uk/~dgcrowdy/PubFiles/Paper25.pdf _____________________________________________ Most of the hydrogen in the Universe is in the deeper, denser, colder and more stable state. Ostensibly, it is 64,000 times more compact than hydrogen but is spread out in a "thinner-than-gas" form which does not aggregate. The lack of gravitational self-interaction is the mystery. Does the lower ground state itself "flip" hydrogen into the category of "mirror matter"? i.e. lack of P-symmetry or mirror reflection symmetry?
