1. Coupling in the LENR Pd grains is by the magnetic field present throughout the entangled grains of Pd-D. 2. Spin energy and related angular momentum can only exist in multiple quanta of spin—h/2pi. (Planck made this observation in the 19th century. ) 3. Space may also be quantized at the Planck constant scale—10-35 meters. –foam-like space intrinsically endowed with a constant magnetic permeability. 4. 3-d cubic dimensions merge into 1-d spherical space at this small scale. Quantum Magazine addresses this geometric weirdness in a paper by computer scientists earlier this month. https://www.quantamagazine.org/mathematicians-complete-quest-to-build-spherical-cubes-20230210/ AND https://www.quantamagazine.org/quantum-field-theory-pries-open-mathematical-puzzle-20230216/?mc_cid=e8e39e38e1&mc_eid=1c22739553 Bob Cook From: Andrew Meulenberg<mailto:mules...@gmail.com> Sent: Sunday, February 19, 2023 11:45 AM To: vortex-l@eskimo.com<mailto:vortex-l@eskimo.com>; Andrew Meulenberg<mailto:mules...@gmail.com> Subject: Re: [Vo]:ARPA-E announces funding for 8 cold fusion projects Jed, Do we get a chance to see what other projects were proposed (at least titles)? It may be that these eight were the best of a poor selection.

Today I added this somewhat pessimistic note: Some cold fusion researchers feel that these eight projects were poorly chosen. The goals are framed as if cold fusion is the same as plasma fusion. People made this mistake in 1989. For example, several projects focus on neutrons. The first one says, “University of Michigan will provide capability to measure hypothetical neutron, gamma, and ion emissions from LENR experiments.” Some cold fusion experiments have produced neutrons, but most do not. It seems likely that neutrons are a secondary effect with a prosaic cause such as fractofusion, rather than being a primary signature of the reaction. Excess heat correlated with helium, or tritium production, can occur without neutrons, so looking for neutrons is not a fruitful way to detect or analyze a cold fusion reaction.
