Concerning Reality in an Arbitrary Universe

In science , we are accustomed to think in reductionist terms and search for a cause whenever we see an interesting effect - but what if we looked at the world in the other direction? Suppose we started with the fact that the universe is ultimately arbitrary? To some, the idea that the universe "

One definition of reality could be this:  Matter and energy distributed in various combinations across a finite space.  Within these confines we have the natural.  Anything outside of this is unnatural, or supernatural.   Reality only feels real because we have five senses, composed of senso

As an aside. What would be wrong with applying a high electrostatic field across a D-loaded Pd foil? This should unbalance the internal charges in the interstices enough to let the Pd charge push the deuterons over the repulsive D-D coulomb barrier. No? Then take what you can get CF-wise. Fred
