Started on a new webpage last night on Reifenschweiler effect as Evidence for
Relativistic interpretation of Casimir effect http://byzipp.com/animaProof.htm
. I got knee deep into this before realizing this is in conflict with my
working theory that Casimir effect accelerates time for "reactants" inside a
Casimir field. I still believe the effect demonstrates a relativistic effect
that reduces the Beta decay of tritium in titanium nano clusters of Casimir
geometry but am putting it out here for the collective to make suggestions on
how. The system is very similar to the Black Light Process of disassociating
hydrogen in the skeletal catalyst of Rayney nickel but now we have an added
"clocking" mechanism to evaluate results. The pores in Black Lights skeletal
catalyst are on the same 10 nm scale as the titanium clusters, if
Reifenschweiler had been looking for excess heat anomalies he might have beaten
Mills by about 30 years. What he did observe was that the beta-decay of tritium
half-life 12.5 years is delayed reversibly by about 25-30% when the isotope is
absorbed in 15 nm titanium-clusters in a temperature window in between 160-275
C. Remarkably at 360 C the original radioactivity reappears. The effect is
absent in bulk metal. This suggests the effect requires the Casimir geometry
to occur and that the effect is relativistic because the Beta decay only
remains changed while absorbed inside the clusters. The effect also shuts off
at 360 C which I believe is a clue that the effect can be maintained in lesser
confinement via diatomic bonds. The shrunken gas atoms want to expand upon
leaving the Casimir confinement but if they form a diatomic bond while shrunken
find themselves trapped in their shrunken state by the diatomic bond between
them. These "shrunken diatoms" accumulate in the gas population allowing the
transient nature of the Casimir effect to accumulate into a significant portion
of the population to the point where, IMHO, the Beta Decay of tritium measures
25-30 % less (time dilates slower). This is of course in direct conflict with
my previous suggestion that catalytic action might be related to Casimir effect
and that reactants actually see every reaction as occurring at the normal rate
from within the confinement of their cavities due to time dilation (time
dilates faster). Any suggestions?
