Russ— You say “data speak to me”. I agree with that idea. The high energy electron scattering experiments on protons and neutrons that W. Stubbs has evaluated are pretty good evidence for constituents of those particles not being primary particles of fractional charges, quarks. I have been aware of the idea of quarks since the early 1970’s, and my skepticism of their reality has only increased over time. Philippe Hatt’s predictions of the magnetic moments and mass of protons and neutrons is consistent with measured properties of these particles. His model considers positrons and electrons make up these particles without the quark soup of the Standard Model. His predictions go beyond the accuracy of current experiments and, thus allow for better model confirmation in the future.
Getting the Nobel prize for a nifty empirical model is note worthy. That quark model with all its arbitrary constants and assumptions contradicts the concept of reality from my viewpoint. I tend to believe that the electron charge associated with that primary particle is real , since I have measured that charge myself to 4 or 5 significant figures. However, there is no reasonable model of reality linking the assumed fractional charge of a quark to the measured unit charge of an electron or positron.

Of course you know that the only real way to understand science is to adhere to the admonition “data speak to me.” That speaking data always confides to anyone listening about IP. I am far less of a mercurial professor than Martin Fleischman, but the older I get the more I am beginning to understand his POV.

If it is not an imposition on your good nature, could you try to detect and verify these muons by placing a sheet of silver or other metal over the geiger counter as you have described doing in previous posts. A report back to vortex about the results of such a test would be great if the report does not violate your IP position. Also wishing huge well deserved success in this and all you do.

The New Year has begun and after being in hibernation for the past month or so I am beginning to be reinvigorated. There is too much to do to deliver several ocean pasture restorations this year and get my danged ‘dusty plasma ready kilowatt’ heater into production. Only a few bugs left to squash. By the way you’ll be interested to know that hot gas phase NiD, aka Quarks, make 4He as do similar AgD devices, aka Millquarks!

They are very convenient in understanding the ecology of cold fusion. Now whether nucleons exist or not and where is another question.
