Nonsense!
Isn't this a form of electron screening?
If it's nonsense, I'd like to see a cogent analysis of why. I brought
up TSC theory here months ago, and reaction to it, mostly negative,
was based on a misunderstanding -- which I shared -- that 23.8 MeV
alphas would be expected. How about an update based on the actual
theory, as published by Takahashi, which predicts a series of photon
emissions that dump most of that energy most of the time?
TSC would not normally fuse with other nuclei, though I think
Takahashi mentions it, because it would be formed with low momentum
and would not be likely to reach other nuclei within the femtosecond
or so it has, if I understand it right.
