Looking to nature for partial answers - and to 'natural' mineral content ratios (with an eye to possible transmutation by virtual neutrons) -- when we look at a dynamic environment, like the Oceans of the world, compared to a unique but stagnant environment, like the Dead Sea ... certain anomalies in mineral-ratio show up - which are difficult to explain.
Ocean water generally consists of 3-4% solids of which 97% of that is sodium chloride, and less than 1% magnesium chloride. While the Dead Sea’s enormously high 30% solids content is made-up of only 8% sodium chloride vs 53% magnesium chloride. Where did the sodium go? and why is there so much magnesium comparatively? The shift is ratio is very substantial. The Dead Sea also has the highest concentration of calcium in the world, and plenty of potassium to "foster" the calcium, perhaps (the Kervan connection). Coincidentally some of these mineral ratio anomalies fit into a pattern - the gain of a proton. This might be the expected net result of a hydrino LENR interaction, especially if some population of solar-hydrinos arrive in the solar wind and are concentrated in stagnant environments. The short half-life of a "real" neutron would limit them as being an alternative explanation. BTW - the mundane explanation for part of the low sodium is that crystalline "halite" (which is almost all NaCl) will form preferentially from mixed content, leaving behind the other minerals; but there is FAR too little halite there to make this the only mechanism for the sodium shortfall. Of course, the answer is complicated by many factors like the surrounding drainage area -- but the relative abundance in surface rocks in most any location on earth is about the same (for each atom: Na or Mg which are ubiquitous), yet magnesium "wants" to oxidize and bind to oxygen and stay insoluble; and sodium "prefers" chlorine and solubility, so sodium should always be found in much greater abundance in liquid water -- unless there is a mechanism, in addition to halite, to remove it (or transmute it). Great mystery - like Kervan, and just as controversial -- yet all we really know is that Dead Sea salt has always been prized by early civilization for many reasons - one being that it is much more nutritious than regular sea-salt (despite, ironically, the "dead" connotation). It costs about 20 times more per pound than NaCl. Other curiosities: • Caesar and his successors paid soldiers in Dead Sea salt “salarium argentum”, or “salt money” in Latin. This became the English word “salary”.... One of the reasons that Rome wanted to keep such tight control over the region (which did not have much else going for it economically) 2000 years ago: and that was the salt itself, which is easy to distinguish from common sea salt- and essentially served some of the same role that paper money does today ( "inflation" being the amount you ate) ... <g>....Before Rome, this variety of salt was prized by Egypt for mummification over other kinds of salt. • At more than 1300 feet below sea level, the Dead Sea is lowest place on earth.... leading one to wonder: could that realtive lowness and higher evaporation rate have any special relevance to a mechanism which enriches the sea in solar-derived hydrinos (assuming they percolate down through the atmosphere)? • The Dead Sea supports no plants, seaweed, or fish but some few algae will grow. This is due to the high solids content in the water and the lack of oxygen - rather than the toxicity. • BTW - you can die trying to swim in the Dead Sea, as it is too thick for that - but you can't easily drown! • Another irony - swimmers don't need suncreen as UV is almost totally filtered out. Strange place of many ironies - and it possibly harbors even stranger natural secrets - even possibly having more oil (deep petroleum rising up due to buoyancy) than anyone thinks is possible. That could be another possible source for hydrinos. All-in-all, it seems that this region's special place in World religion may be tied and connected - at some mysterious level - to its unique physics and geology. Jones
