I agree with this. But the conditions that produce LENR make the formation of BEC probable. This BEC formation is not a necessary and sufficient condition to the development of LENR, be if a BEC does form, it may enhance the reaction. I also now question what professor George H. Miley saw in those cracks. He says that the cavities held a deuteron BEC. I don’t think he has done a definitive test to make a determination as follows: *The experiment would determine whether or not a BEC can indeed form inside a metal at room-temperature. If a BEC forms, you can then measure the velocity distribution of the deuterons with low-energy neutron scattering or high-energy x-ray scattering off the deuterium in the metal, as was done in the atomic case. * I am doing my annual LENR theory reformulation; ,,,throw out the old, ring in the new… My newly developing theory points to the possible but not necessary development of a plexciton BEC. Addressed to all and sundry, I have all the time in the world to explain my theory so please ask me and leave Ed alone.
