UPDATE: I was asked about the EPRI data in the Ahern report - showing cooling with titanium nanopowder, and finally got in touch with Brian.
He did not include the data in the final report, merely a summation. He stands by the cooling effect as valid and repeatable; but the effect was not as strong as I previously suggested (not an order of magnitude effect). In conclusion, "nano-cooling" is a niche which is begging for replication but it is not as significant an anomaly as is the heating effect with nickel nanopowder. -----Original Message----- From: MarkI-ZeroPoint 1. If a neutron can disappear into the vacuum, then: 1a. Can a neutron pop INTO this space (spontaneous formation)? Let me just say this. There have been for a long time - reports of spontaneous (anomalous) hydrogen showing up in extreme vacuum conditions. Hydrogen from nowhere, essentially. But that phenomenon, if true, has morphed into fringe religious bogosity so one hesitates to even mention it. There was an article in IE and it has been picked up here, for what it is worth: http://blog.hasslberger.com/2006/06/hydrogen_from_space_the_aether.html This is not the same as neutrons from nowhere, except that the neutron has only a short half-life, and you expect to see hydrogen in the end. Does that account for the hydrogen phenomenon, and if so, where is the decay energy? Does trans-dimensional transfer happen isothermally, regardless? (at least from the perspective of the host) That would be the only way it could happen. Jones
