In reply to mix...@bigpond.com's message of Sun, 05 Jul 2015 13:38:34 +1000: Hi,
BTW, I would guess that Hydrinos in this size category may not last long, as they would probably undergo nuclear reactions fairly readily (unless well separated from other matter), thus the spectral line seen is probably from freshly made Hydrinos. IOW this may not be a dark matter signal after all. However, on the upside, it may explain LENR quite nicely. ;) >In reply to Jones Beene's message of Sat, 4 Jul 2015 19:47:40 -0700: >Hi Jones, >[snip] > >Ok, I found the reason.
