Axil, you say that light can continue to spin inside a small space and gain strength. This contrary to the concept that light is composed of photons unless you are suggesting that more and more of these enter the space as the fields build up. Is that what you mean? If so, then the total energy is increasing due to addition of new photons to the old ones that remain trapped.

It just spins inside that space changing as it spins and gains strength as long as the condition persists. This behavior is not imagination, it is experimental fact; and yet such behavior is completely alien to our every day experience. This condition requires a special set of circumstances to happen...unusual conditions that are seldom found in everyday life. The trick in understanding is to know what conditions result in which laws and when to apply these laws in the associated theory of that particular reality. When you play chess you don't use the rules of tiddlywinks. You need to know what game you are playing and use the proper rule that govern that game.

Reality has rules we are trying to understand. We can either learn the rules or we can make up any rule we might imagine. The PROCESS is like playing chess without knowing the rules. Reality is not the game itself.

Reality is what we experience, which is described using imagination. Occasionally the imagination actually describes reality well enough. Most of the time the imagination has very little relationship to reality. When that lack of relationship is extreme, the person is described as being insane. In the F-P case, they had no idea what they were doing. They were following their imagination, which was supported occasionally by reality. The skeptics understood what was real about hot fusion. However, they tried to apply this understanding to what F-P saw, which was not hot fusion. The present attempts to resolve the conflict between imagination about LENR and reality are handicapped by use of concepts and math that has no relationship to reality, but is 100% imagination. This is like attempting to play chess without reading the rules and making the rules up as you play. In other words, people need to make an effort to bring their imagination in harmony with reality. Only one reality exists, while the imagination has infinite possibilities. Ed Storms Ed imagines reality is a chess game.

This mismatch between the real as described by experiment and what is expected by the theorist must cause and immediate adjustment by the theorist to modify their reality to correspond to what is real. Is this what you mean by reality? On Sat, Jan 4, 2014 at 10:38 AM, Edmund Storms <[email protected]> wrote: Eric, F-P thought they were initiating a version hot fusion. Therefore, they expected a large neutron flux which the dosimeter would detect. They had no understanding about the nuclear process they actually discovered. I expect when they did not find neutrons, they must have questioned their heat measurements as did everyone else. Looking back with the benefit of the huge data set now available, the explanations being proposed at that time look desperate and silly. I have to admire their confidence in the calorimetry measurements in the face of not finding the expected radiation. However, they did detect radiation that should not have been emitted and was later confirmed - but it was ignored because it did not fit with the expectations based on hot fusion. In other words, the presence of a nuclear reaction was demonstrated but not the expected nuclear reaction. The data now available show overwhelming that a nuclear reaction occurs under conditions where none should occur. The universal rejection looks more and more politically motivated because only politics can cause people to ignore that which is overwhelmingly obvious.

This was inaccurate. For the neutron measurements, they used two approaches. First they used an NaI scintillation detector to look for the p(n,ɣ)d reaction. This is the gamma spectrum that Petrasso and the others at MIT called out as being fudgy. They also used a Harwell Neutron Dose Equivalent Rate Monitor, on loan from a colleague. This is the health dosimeter. The colleague was probably R.J. Hoffmann, with the Department of Radiological Health at the University of Utah (not to be confused with Nathan Hoffmann). Health dosimeters are relatively inaccurate and are no good for trying to measure very low neutron fluxes. Hofmann might have been the one to have carried out the actual measurements and analysis (I'm not sure). For the low fluxes they thought they were seeing, they would have benefited from much better instrumentation. Eric
