In reply to Jones Beene's message of Wed, 4 Aug 2010 07:46:55 -0700: Hi Jones, [snip] >Plus - and most telling of all is that there is large isotopic heterogeneity >of deuterons observed in comets and chondrites in our system, which is >difficult to reconcile with any known natural process like a very small Nova >- BUT this is easy to explain, and even to be expected from the ongoing >reaction in the corona of f/H-e-f/H --> D, since the steady neutrino flux >from the solar interior can convert the up quark to down (presumably) and >where the host object (comet) can be either close to the solar corona or >further away, on average. Thus explaining the heterogeneity in H/D ratio. [snip] I agree that occasional close proximity to the Sun might explain the variation in ratio, however it's not the only possibility. Another is that the PeP reaction is ongoing all over the place, not just at stellar surfaces. This becomes more likely if much of the dark matter does indeed comprise Hydrino molecules. IOW D may be being bred in interstellar space, and the rate of breeding would be determined by the size of the Hydrino molecules present. The smaller the average, the greater the rate.
BTW, I think that an anti-neutrino is required to flip an up-quark to a down quark, but it's possible that neutrinos and anti-neutrinos are the same thing. IOW that the particle is it's own anti-particle. (Are neutrinos orientation sensitive, which might go some way toward explaining their very small interaction with matter? They would then only have a chance of interacting when the orientation is exactly right, among other factors. If so, then flipping the spatial orientation of a neutrino would "convert" it to an anti-neutrino, or alternatively, what is was would depend on your point of view - literally.) Which makes me wonder what is created when a neutrino and an anti-neutrino combine - a photon - or perhaps something with energy but no spin?
