I am not sure if it's relevant or what it's worth, but in the following paper -
"Anomalous Nuclear Phenomena Assocoated with Ultrafast Processes" www.iscmns.org/asti06/jianglaoshi2.pdf - the authors speculate on whether "the concept of torsion field" contributes to the LENR phenomena they observed in their experiments. > This is an absolutely fascinating hypothesis, Lou - yet it so intricately > complex that it would be a surprise if more than a few multi-disciplinary > thinkers will invest the time and study necessary to grasp the ultimate > significance. > > DNA, proteins, amino acids - all of the important molecules of life are > chiral. Human proteins are exclusively built from L-amino acids but the > origin of this asymmetry is mysterious. Nickel, unlike iron is not > terribly > important in higher level biochemistry (and can be toxic) - but in the > earliest stages of evolution, nickel could have actually been the sine qua > non and cause of L-chirality - in other words: No nickel, no chirality, no > DNA, no humans. > > Even more fascinating is that there could be a relatively ignored QM > feature > (quantum isospin, perhaps) that relates both to chirality and to a > propensity for what has been thought to be a strange variety of beta > decay... thus tying biogenesis and "free energy" together in a most > surprising way. > > This could be closer to a new kind of nuclear reaction than a subset of > beta > decay, in it that it is characterized by such low levels of radioactivity > that it "seems to be non-nuclear" and it could even be reversible.
