    "Evans' claims are not accepted by the mainstream physics community. In an editorial note in Foundations of Physics the Nobel laureate Gerard 't Hooft discussed the "revolutionary paradigm switch in theoretical physics" promised by ECE theory. He concluded that activities in the subject "have remained limited to personal web pages and are absent from the standard electronic archives, while no reference to ECE theory can be spotted in any of the peer reviewed scientific journals".[11]


    Several of the published contributions in this theory have been shown to be mathematically incorrect.[7][8][9][10] In response to these demonstrations, 't Hooft's editorial note concludes, "Taking into account the findings of Bruhn, Hehl and Obukhhov, the discussion of ECE theory in the journal Foundations of Physics will be concluded herewith unless very good arguments are presented to resume the matter."[11]"

    Just to defend a person who is not among us anymore...


    One of those critical articles mentioned above: https://arxiv.org/abs/0707.4433

    Here is M.Evans' response on this subject: http://www.aias.us/index.php?g…_and_Jadczyk_(arXiv_2007)


    I personally can't evaluate either the claims or response. Maybe Horst Eckardt ([email protected]) would be willing to participate in discussion related to the ECE theory ?

    Little Problem: a distinguished engineer finds himself sitting next to a little girl on an intercontinental flight. The Engineer said to the little girl: - " Let's talk a little together? It seems that travel happens much faster when you talk to someone!". the little girl looks at him and says: - " Okay!!! What do you want us to talk about?" the man says: - " What if we talk about nuclear physics?"the little girl answers her: -" Okay, but first, listen to me: a deer, a cow and a horse all eat the same, grass. And yet the deer makes small poop, the cow makes flat chips and the horse of big green balls... how do you explain this?"the engineer, stunned, thinks for a moment then must confess: -" my faith, I can't explain it!". so, being the little girl says to her: - " how do you want me to explain what nuclear physics is, when you don't even master a little shit problem..."

    As a general point, and regardless of the mathematical arguments against or in pro of the ECE theory, I really dread when a theory is criticized because "the mathematics are wrong". I think only experiments can really prove a theory wrong. That said, I don't know if there's was ever an experiment supportive of the ECE theory.

  • "NEUTRON EMISSIONS FROM TITANIUM-DEUTERIUM SYSTEM UNDER THERMAL SHOCK"


    The undersigned, appointed by the dean of the Graduate School, have examined the thesis and hereby certify that, in their opinion,it is worthy of acceptance

    Professor Mark A. Prelas

    Professor Sudarshan K. Loyalka

    Professor Tushar K. Ghosh

    Professor William H. Miller

    ... "The observed neutrons produced from titanium-deuterium system were very small and only single neutron burst events were observed in an entire experiment. The occurrence of neutrons occurred in two of the 9 experiments conducted. The samples were analyzed for tritium production using a liquid scintillation detector, but tritium was not observed in any of the samples. There was also no evidence of transmutation occurring in this samples. We hypothesized that the titanium-deuterium reaction is a low probability process that is influence by crack formation. The process is likely due to a statistical process that depends on sample microstructure, number of defects, preparation condition and shocking procedure."

  • Very interesting work. A pity that they worked at such high pressure levels. IMHO working at a lower pressure would have significantly increased the chances to form Rydberg Matter of D. It is not a coincidence that they got unusual effects when the pressure was the lowest. But still not low enough IMO. The huge and rapid increase in temperature only partially solved that by transiently creating a high numbers of excited D atoms desorbing from Ti.

    Ahlfors Good paper with some interesting observations. I liked this part...


    ' During start-up No. 258, the heating current of the reactor increased (steps in the temperature distribution). Upon reaching a temperature of 880 ° F (a point on the x-axis of 16,000), a permanent niode magnet was placed in the heating chamber. The field on the surface of the magnet is 0.2 T. On the surface of the reactor at a distance of 10 cm from the magnet, the field was 0.0003 T. Almost immediately after placement of the magnet temperature of the reactor falls to 80 o F . After removing the magnet from the heating chamber M1, the temperature of the reactor is restored at a level of 880 o F . It is noteworthy that the change in temperature of the surrounding surfaces of the heating chamber M1 is of the opposite nature — it grows when the magnet is placed, and falls when the magnet is removed. During start-up No. 258, the heating current of the reactor increased (steps in the temperature distribution). When the temperature reached 880 ° F (a point on the abscissa axis 16000), a permanent niode magnet was placed in the heating chamber M1. The field on the surface of the magnet is 0.2 T.

Such radical changes in temperature occur at other points in the installation.'

    The paper is full of little gems like that I quoted - here's another. I have no doubt they are good work.



    4. Registration of megahertz signals in a nickel-hydrogen heat generator. The formation of microdischarges.

    In experiments with a nickel-hydrogen heat generator, a high-frequency signal was recorded. The receiving antenna in the form of two copper strips diverging at an angle to each other was located in the calorimeter chamber of Fig. 5. The signal from the antenna was fed to an oscilloscope. Figure 7 shows two types of electromagnetic disturbances that arise from time to time in the antenna. On the left in Fig. 7 a typical perturbation is shown, on the right is a very powerful perturbation, the frequency of which is much less. Frequency analysis of the disturbance signal shows frequencies from 1.2 MHz to 30 MHz. Signals appear in groups. A separate group can last 2-3 minutes. Signal repetition rate as in Fig. 7. in the group reaches from 1 to 10 - 20 signals per second. After 2-3 minutes of high activity, pulse generation may suddenly stop. Within 5-10 minutes, only background disturbances are recorded. After 5 to 10 minutes of silence, pulse generation occurs again.

  • In different studies and experiment types, Holmlid has also observed that even a weak magnetic field has negative effects on the local appearance of the hydrogen condensate he probes with a pulsed laser (see section 6. here). His detection setup is also almost like an antenna for the charged particles emitted from the target. So there might be overall some similarities in the observed effects even though the experiment concepts are different.

  • For sure.

    I would think this is likely to be a language translation issue and what is meant is "falls 80 F". If not, wow.
