This is just another clue to the puzzle. One day it will all make sense and I assume that Mr. Franks will regret that he has acted so closed minded about the issue. Hopefully, he will realize how much he has to learn about physics. No one has all the answers and perhaps he might actually be capable of asking questions that are revealing.
The white dwarf consideration has validity since it does represent a case that seems strange at first glance. But, the real process might be coming from the low temperature side of the scale instead of the more usual hot end. The theories relating to BEC contribution to cold fusion would tend to work better in that domain. Of course we all have seen evidence that absolute zero conditions are not generating cold fusion, so is it reasonable to ask about extremely high temperature effects upon hot fusion? I have a strong suspicion that hot fusion would likewise be extinguished at the extremes of high temperature. Of course this is true in particle accelerators and I suspect that these types of interactions become strongly endothermic as new particles are constructed out of the input energy of the devices. Apparently, to get exothermic nuclear reactions requires a special band of reactant energy. Why LENR works at the low end remains a question that will hopefully be answered soon. Mr. Franks, it would appear that you might find great fame if you work toward finding a solution to the questions surrounding LENR instead of merely complaining about the current level of progress. Surely, you must realize that far more remains unknown in the field of physics than has been uncovered so far. Do you believe that everything is known as of this time? I would like to hear your answer to this reasonable question.
