[/snip] Guys, Your argument goes away if the nuclear reaction is subsequent to an interim Zero point reaction and Axil's comment regarding the e-kitten producing less radiation could be accurate if the total energy were a sum of interim and nuclear reactions. I am convinced that the same energy that supplies the endless motion of gas is accelerated by the reduced energy density of Casimir suppression. I think it is change in this suppression level that discounts the temperature needed to disassociate molecular gas and then Nature that later reforms the molecule when the temperature drops - an endless chemical reaction between h2 > 2h1 powered by ZPE that does make sense of the needed cooling loop to accelerate the reaction by reforming the molecules. I think it is the scale of this endless chemical reaction that makes favorable otherwise unlikely nuclear reactions. My argument regarding the unlikely scale of the chemical reactions is that the present Casimir theory of longer wavelengths being displaced or upshifted is only half right - they are shorter from our perspective but inside the cavity they remain unchanged to a local observer because the cavity is time dilated to make them fit. For a given Area/plate separation^4 the closer the plates the more time is accelerated - unlike an inertial frame that would require massive energy to spatially accelerate an object to large fractions of C in order to slow time, accelerating time is accomplished for pocket change by Casimir suppression and there is no spatial displacement - hydrogen outside the cavity remains spatially adjacent to hydrogen at huge equivalent accelerations in the nearby cavity. If we could engineer such environments at our scale we would still need the free transportation equivalent of gas motion to move between frames and exploit the differences. My point is that we have too many clues suggesting this is relativistic - Naudts orbital, modified half lives, lasers transitioning through Casimir cavities faster than C. If we consider the gas atoms that experience the minimum plate spacing the degree of their time dilation approaches a scale that could account for the energy levels - since the gas is already fractional from our perspective it can continue to dilate even further - appearing ever smaller and loading into plate spacing based on their fractional parameters. [Min spacing/137]^4 ? If this be so then the E kitten vs the E- Cat could easily modify the portions of energy contributed by the interim vs nuclear paths. Regards Fran
