Axil,
You present a credible theory that connects the dots nicely with supporting
citations. Your statements may have been a little to mater of fact for some of
your audience who would have you state everything unproven as only your opinion
but your arguments were clear and persuasive.. although I would suggest a
little more illumination on the contribution of the NAE WRT virtual photons /
relativistic frames or we would have LENR occurring everywhere around us where
ever we have large magnetic fields. I also liked your comment [snip]At this
juncture, it is not clear how much magnetic energy is required to keep a
gainful fusion reaction going[/snip] .. I think there are many methods that
will agitate the “water” spill over the columb “ glass” ..My bet is that the
breakthrough will come from constraint of seemingly unrelated properties like
the loading of hydrogen [PV/T] AND microwave radiation AND also tungsten
heating filaments and even mechanical vibration of the bulk powder. All in
various combinations in a shotgun search for synergy.. My point is that we are
trying to confine virtual particles [ the quick silver of quicksilver] we see
from SR that it is a game of extremes at the macro scale requiring near C
velocities and I am suggesting that even this opposite method of confinement in
the NAE is still going to be a game of extremes unless we can mix metaphors to
nail down the …dare I call it the “viscosity” of virtual particles using
different parameters. Tesla claimed that high voltage tries to slow/solidify
the ether so perhaps I should throw that out there as yet another variable to
ply. My hope is that you can use one mechanism to hold it while using another
to hit it such that you escape the requirement for extremis.
Just my 2 cents
