*Got mass? Scientists observe electrons become both heavy and speedy* Hydrinos may be caused by entangled electrons. When electrons become entangled they gain mass if not energy. If such a "heavy" electron enters the orbit of a nickel atom, this extra mass will drive the orbit of the entangled electron closer to the nucleus. If the electron gets heavy enough, like Muon-catalyzed fusion (μCF), a heavy electron fusion process allows nuclear fusion to take place at temperatures significantly lower than the temperatures required for thermonuclear fusion, even at room temperature or lower. It is one of the few known ways of catalyzing nuclear fusion reactions. Muons are unstable subatomic particles. They are similar to electrons, but are about 207 times more massive. If a muon replaces one of the electrons in a hydrogen molecule, the nuclei are consequently drawn 207 times closer together than in a normal molecule. In like manner when an entangled electron with a mass 1000 times greater than a free electron gains mass through entanglement, the high mass electron's orbit draws closer into the nuclei in direct proportion to its increased mass based on its degree of entanglement, the probability of nuclear fusion with the heavy electron is greatly increased, to the point where a significant number of fusion events can happen at room temperature. When Mills sees evidence of hydrinos in spectral analysis emanating from his materials, he is really seeing heavy entangled electrons in close orbit around the nickel nucleus. This is a materials physics mechanism and only appears in the types of materials that Mills uses to increase heat production using this LENR mechanism. These hydrinos only form when electrons are entangled in special materials and hydrinos are not ubiquitous throughout nature as Mills claims. Cheers: Axil
