Bose condinsation is extremely important in LENR. It is where all the miracles of LENR come from. The polariton is a boson. It is made from an electron and photons of heat combined together through quantum mechanics. Polaritons are electrons that has lost their charge and most of their mass. Electrons are fermions and they cannot form condensates.
Why would a polariton condinsate as a black hole look like a tachyon? http://phys.org/news/2015-09-law-implies-thermodynamic-black-holes.html Because the area of future and past holographic screens increases in different directions, the direction of time is different for the two types of screens. In past screens, time moves forward. Expanding universes, such as ours, involve past holographic screens, and so we naturally perceive thermodynamic time as running forward. In contrast, time runs backward in future holographic screens. In a sense, this interpretation has the odd result that thermodynamic time runs backward inside black holes and collapsing universes. The polariton condinsate is a analogue black hole where energy enters but leaves in unexpected ways. In a polariton condinsate as a analog black hole would look like a tachyon which is a particle that is traveling backward in time. In the 1967 paper that coined the term, Feinberg proposed that tachyonic particles could be quanta of a quantum field with negative squared mass. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tachyonic_field However, it was soon realized that excitations of such imaginary mass fields do not in fact propagate faster than light, and instead represent an instability known as tachyon condensation. Nevertheless, negative squared mass fields are commonly referred to as "tachyons", and in fact have come to play an important role in modern physics. The Polariton condinsate as an analog black hole would be a tachyon containing negative mass and moving backward in time. According to string theory, The polariton condinsate as a tachyon releases energy in three ways: heat as hawking radiation, light whose frequency is proportional to the density of the polaritons that form the condinsate and mesons...lots and lots of mesons.
