I want to thank Jed's recent round-about referral to a web radio interview with Mr. Krivit on "Guide To The Cosmos". See:
http://webtalkradio.net/?s=krivit I suspect this particular interview might spark some outrage with certain members who participate within the Vort Collective. But that's not what interests me. While I was listening the talk show host mentioned the fact that he had recently interviewed Lewis Larsen - pertaining to the Widdom-Larsen theory. I performed a search and, yes indeed, I got a hit! Listen to: http://webtalkradio.net/?s=lewis+larsen <http://webtalkradio.net/?s=lewis+larsen&task=search> &task=search The interview was low-tech but informative - some of what was discussed is presumably already general knowledge within the Vort Collective. Nevertheless, I did learn some interesting new concepts, along with a few clarifications. To recap: Larsen made it clear that in his view the Widom-Larsen theory does not involve a "fusion" process. (The apparent need to make such a distinction continues to puzzle me, but I don't want to get off track, here.) As I understand it, the W-L theory involves "condensed matter systems", "...many particles interacting at once." I gather Larsen seems to draw the distinction that "fusion", as it is commonly understood, typically involves just two or three atomic nuclei that end up "fusing" together - such as what is theorized to happen within stars. I gather that Larsen seems to draw a clear distinction that the official definition of "fusion" only involves a small number of atomic nuclei interactions (two or three) while their W-L theory involves a huge number of simultaneous collective interactions. The W-L theory is supposed to produce heavy electrons and low energy neutrons. A point of clarification: Low energy neutrons also means their individual wave lengths are extremely large as compared to the wave lengths of general run-of-the mill ultra fast moving energetic neutrons. The upshot of possessing such an ultra low wavelength means that the diameters (sphere of influence?) of these unique neutrons can allegedly increase to the size of viruses or bacterium. Since they can allegedly reach sizes that enter into the macrocosm world while also simultaneously remaining slow moving, the combination is supposed to make it very easy for these particles to be absorbed by nearby atomic nuclei. This results in nuclear reactions which, in turn, can produce massive amounts of mass-energy exchanges (energy.) Another interesting tidbit: According to Larsen, their theory can also explain why the sun's corona is millions of degrees hotter than the surface of the sun. What should obviously pique the interest of many Vort readers is the fact that Randy Mill's Hydrino theory also attempts to explain why the corona is significantly hotter than the surface of the sun. (Is it possible that these two completely different theories could end up explaining the same phenomenon? Doesn't seem very likely to me, but I really don't know!) Be sure to listen to Larsen's explanation pertaining to the unique characteristics of a particular star and how it would seem to verify their theory - something to do with the fact that anomalies have been detected. Larsen made a comment that "...short lived radioactive isotopes" have been detected in the spectral graphs of one particular star. Have such signatures been detected in other stars as well? I don't know. Larsen conjectures that such short lived radioactive isotopes could only have been formed on the surface of the star. As such, their theory could possibly explain how such radioactive isotopes might be manufactured at the star's surface. According to Larsen "nuclear synthesis" may be more pervasive than what is currently believed to be the case. Nuclear synthesis may also be regularly occurring on the surface (atmospheres) of stars as well as within dust clouds. But enuf of me blabbering away. The guts of this theory involves a lot of complex heavy-duty math. I personally don't possess sufficient mathematical background to adequately judge its merits. I only hope this theory continues to get an honest and fair shake at the table. Go check out the interview. Make your own assessment. ... and feel free to report back.
