I believe I've seen this video before, or at least a variation of it.
What does Chubb's theory entail?
Honestly, God only knows -- that level of physics is far over my head
-- but it sounds a bit like a school of fish to me.
It involves a bunch of deuterons with overlapping wave functions,
which lose their identity and begin acting as one, sort of like
people joining the Hare Krishna cult (or religion if it is tax
deductible). The heat is dispersed over millions of deuterons instead
of originating at a single location which is why it does not produce
a sharp 24 MeV jolt in a single particle.
For more information, see Scott & Talbot Chubb's papers.
