[Vo]:AXIL's Efitorial

Dear Friends, My friend AXIL, an admirable front-line physicist thinker, has written comments to my 2014 New Year message. Please read them. I liked the comments so much that I have asked him to write a guest editorial for my Blog. Here it is: http://egooutpeters.blogspot.ro/2014/01/axil-about-l

Here is some thoughts about how a strong magnetic field can screen charge. One of the conservation laws is the conservation of isospin in nuclear reactions. In 1932, Heisenberg defined that the proton and neutron be considered as different charge substates of one particle, the Nucleon. A nucleon

The levels that you list are quite large. If the magnetic fields emanating from each of the nano antennas were of that magnitude I would be concerned that they would generate a force against their neighbors that would rip the material apart. Maybe one day you can explain how these nano sized c

that is what I have in mind too. I am quite conservative (sic) about conservation laws. The more i heard of them, the more I think they are structurally solid (anyway I may be wrong), because they are expression of symmetries. It seems TD2 is linked to Heizenberg, and TD1 to gauge equivalence. any

Re: [Vo]:McKubre visitors who peer-reviewed his lab, then get (unethically) silent

Harry, I don't want to speak for Axil, but from my understanding it is theorized that some manner of photonic-BEC can form in the Nano-cavity. I'm not sure whether it assists fusion or the photons themselves create some novel variety of EM energy. It relies, in ways, on Kim's BEC cluster theory. T

Re: [Vo]:McKubre visitors who peer-reviewed his lab, then get (unethically) silent

OK, now the question comes up about how many photons can be captured inside such a tiny space before it self destructs. In normal classical circumstances the tiny space you speak of would be called a cavity resonator. These have a "Q" associated with them that is related to the stored energy p

This is an interesting way to look at nature. First you make observations of what is occurring. Then you imagine why this may be so. Finally, you continue to watch the behavior of the experiment and see that all the observations that you collect match your imagined process. I like to stress

Re: [Vo]:McKubre visitors who peer-reviewed his lab, then get (unethically) silent

While what you say is true, Jed, to make detectable heat, a fusion rate of about 10^9 events/sec would be required. To detect the radiation, only about 10 events/sec would be needed. Heat is used to measure radioactive decay, but only when a large amount of the decaying material is present.

No Harry, reality is NOT a chess game. Trying to understand reality is the game. Do you see the difference? 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.
