For lack of time I haven't gone back to my fusion rate maths efforts yet, but I guess encounters would be closer by a factor equal to the shrinking factor roughly, and since I remember you said fusion rate increased wildly with decreasing distance, I guess that if significantly shrunken hydrinos existed they would fuse almost immediately.
I wonder, if my above speculation is correct, could this be the reason why Mills doesn't want any connection with LENR, because their propensity to fuse would make hydrinos impossible as stable particles?

How much higher, Robin, do you know? I posted an email to this forum recently with a formula for you to play with. ;) >Wouldn't it be so much higher that significant fusion would have been noticed >everywhere such a molecule is supposed to form? Individual molecules are extremely small, and even individual fusion events release very little energy on a human scale. Consider that there are many thousands of K-40 decay events taking place in your body every second, yet you are completely oblivious to this. IOW even nuclear events need to happen on a considerable scale before we notice them. [snip] Regards, Robin van Spaandonk The shrub is a plant.
