Re: Use of CR-39 Detectors Heats up "Cold Fusion"

To CraigD:

You can read the Navy paper for free here:

Thank you for the reply. I have many questions about the published Navy experiment.

The hypothesis of the Navy, that the 3-pit patterns they see (obviously they do see them) is from breakup of Carbon-12----does that hypothesis make sense to you (for fun, let us assume some sort of fusion did occur in their experiments).

Would it not mean that Carbon-12 must have three alpha pre-existing, and not N and P in independent nuclear shells ? So, a picture of Carbon-12 would then be:

Carbon 12 = [NNPP] + [NNPP] + [NNPP] , three alpha

But, is the above not against the current Standard Model of nuclear structure for carbon-12. Are not the N and P packed with energy shells in the nucleus that follow rules of quantum mechanics ?

Can you think of other ways a 3-pit pattern could be formed in such an experiment ?

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
