both Mills & Holmlid proposed UDH/hydrinos as a possible form of undetectable dark matter in the universe

I indeed wish success for Mills & Holmlid - but it turns out, not THAT big success...

if you can see the outer electrons (which are supposed to be entangled)

I'd guess that atoms are entangled via pilot wave of the whole atom. The electrons in all orbitals move independently (not just these outer ones). The energy of atoms at low temperature is in range of microelectronvolts, unable to correlate electrons in range of electron volts in any meaningful way.

Two wave functions can be correlated but separated in space

Of course, this is the first outcome of the observation of individual atoms within condensate: the atoms and their wave functions aren't merged or overlayed. These atoms thus don't form one giant orbital, their electrons the less. Now, what "corelation" of wave function" is supposed to mean?

For example entangled atoms in boson condensate are said to behave like single orbital described by single wave function. Which brings an interesting conspiracy theory of why even after more than thirty years we still have no good video or even just a photo of boson condensate. Because such a photo would show, it's not true. The atoms inside boson condensate can be observed even by naked eye or under strong loupe like individual glowing dots (resembling particles of smoke above knot of freshly quenched candle). I.e. they're definitely not dissolved into a single orbital - which immediately contradicts Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics, according to which entangled particles get delocalized across whole quantum function.

After then we should ask, how wave functions of these individual atoms really look like and what makes them entangled after then? These "subtleties" are just why physical phenomena should be never confused with or even replaced by their formal models.

Even less people also know, that quantum entanglement is complex composite effect which also has directional component similar to Allais effect occurring during solar eclipses and planetary conjunctions.

Certainly is fun going thru all these old papers - the amount of evidence for cold fusion and transmutations worldwide is staggering!

It should be noted that despite these papers are freely accessible and quite old already, we still have (nearly) no replications any of them - even from the side of cold fusion research community, not to say from mainstream physics. For example Reiko Notoya from Hokkaido university consistently claimed excess of energy during electrolysis of potassium carbonate at nickel electrodes, she called her results "extremely reproducible" and she even brought her electrolyzer to one of IEEC conferences for to demonstrate it live. Randell Mills and Niedra from NASA also confirmed them independently (with COP over 30!) - yet most of cold fusion researchers ignore these easy and cheap experiments as if nothing would ever happen.

The fear/disgust of replications is thus what cold fusion research and mainstream science research have in common. With such an ignorant attitude it's not surprising, that the dynamics of cold fusion research is as it is.

In particular Maris 2015 which summarises Maris's earlier work (from 2002 I think) claiming that he has observed bubbles with fractional electron charge, and the more recent vortex explanation of the same phenomenon.

Maybe yes, maybe not - but I don't see the logic. Of course that the mobility of electron bubbles is much lower than the mobility of single electron - they're much bigger. Why it would require fractional electron charge for its explanation?

The limited applicability of formal math for description of hyperdimensional phenomena can be also proven logically. The formal models of contemporary physics are self-consistent only until they're reductionist, i.e. based on schematic projection of hyperdimensional phenomena into low-dimensional space-time. The consistent formal description of hyperdimensional phenomena would be represented by non-compact manifold in low-dimensional parameter space and it would break into multiple mutually inconsistent formal models like projection of hypercube into 3D space. Please note that (unwilling) switching of observational perspectives during description of hyperdimensional objects is also most frequent culprit of their failure at predicate logic level.The fact we have formal description of reality fragmented into quantum mechanics and general relativity is also indicia of its intrinsic hyperdimensional nature. Therefore once some phenomena gets hyperdimensional, then its self-consistent formal description even CAN NOT be provided quite objectively - it's not fear or ignorance of math, which would be responsible for it. At the case of dark matter influence of global warming we are thus constrained to fragmented seemingly unrelated rare indicia rather than consistent and omnipresent evidence. It's important to have it on mind in further explanation of its physical motivation. The ignorance of these indicia on behalf of waiting for robust evidence should be therefore considered as an evasion and tendency to dismiss such a theory as a whole rather than responsibly minded attitude driven by precautionary principle. After all, the hyperdimensional nature of cold fusion isn't very different in this regard.

Not everything is based or even it can be expressed by equations. For example theory of continental drift is not based on equations. Please note, that prof. Rampino also doesn't build his theory on equations: his theory is simply based on coincidence of period of solar system oscillations around galactic equator and extinction periods by meteoric impacts. I suspect, that adherence on equations delays understanding of hyperdimensional physical phenomena (like entanglement and/or collapse of wave function), which are very simple in principle/geometry, but difficult to grasp by formal model. We can go even further and demand that every theory should be based on logical model primarily rather than formal one. For example Big Bang theory is pretty nonsensical on logical level and it deliberately confuses intrinsic and extrinsic perspectives repeatedly (for example it considers space-time expansion despite it talks about expansion of matter inside it etc.). Even in math every theorem must be based on/proven with robust predicate logic before it can be used for subsequent derivations. So that by primary adherence of physics on predicate logic we would make physics more consistent with formal math, not less.

I even suspect, that scientists are delaying logical understanding of their research intentionally for to keep their jobs longer and for maintaining their intellectual superiority and informational monopoly over laymen like medieval shamans. At the case of global warming understanding this ignorant stance is undoubtedly backed also with interests of private companies and multinational monopolies, which profit from redistribution of public money for "fight" with global warming. These money are "easy" money, which don't undergo free market utilitarian scrutiny. Which is why we not only have no alternative models of global warming researched but even considered, as if these alternative explanations wouldn't exist at all. Being lead by occupational driven instinct the scientists did deliberately choose just the explanation of global warming which provides them most of grants and jobs from all other explanations possible .

IMO current cavitation systems are terribly inefficient due to lack of theory driven experimentation. For example ultrasound is able to generate cavitation more effectively in the sense, that pressure wave inside tuned resonator creates bubbles repeatedly at one place and during their collapse the energy of bubbles gets partially reused. But it would also make process symmetric and I don't see any reason, why thermodynamics couldn't get violated in both ways: both in anomalous generation of energy both in anomalous consumption of it without any dissipation. Also these bubbles need to remain small as large bubbles of low surface curvature wouldn't contribute to dynamic Casimir effect too much. Maybe we should expand them with high curvature and to splash them with low curvature. Note that Slobodian cavitation heater does exactly this: it sprays oil droplets with centrifugal force and it splashes them at flat surface of rotor - this asymmetry is what could generate heat there. Cavitation rotor also doesn't make as much cavitation as it could do: its holes are filled by merely stable vacuum-water boundary, which could cavitate more wildly.

The issue us that quantization of charge on these bubbles appears to require fractional electron charge

Where quantization of charge on these bubbles occurs (link)? What is observed are quantized states of these bubbles, but these bubbles still contain the very same charge.

quantised vorticial angular momentum

Could you get more specific? Google returns zero number of results for this termite...

Collapse is an anthropomorphic idea forced only because we subjectively experience this

Nope, it's real measurable phenomena and it cannot be derived from (time dependent) Schrodinger equation of single quantum object - this result is thus adhoced in every quantum simulation of single quantum object. If some theory cannot predict outcome of experiment from its fundamental equation, it just means its formulation is incomplete and physics thus "needs" to complete it.

What I'm saying is, everything what one has to do is the quantum simulation of two objects, not just single one, because every observation (not just quantum one) is result of interaction of two objects. Such a wrong ansatz and misunderstanding of problem cannot be replaced by philosophical twaddling that "physics doesn't actually need it". Quantum mechanics can actually handle it quite completely without any philosophy. For example it can precisely simulate establishing of entanglement between pair of objects fixed in certain distance.

Coulomb explosion isn't LENR - or did I miss something in the article?

Quote

Triggering LENR is quite an other story as LENR needs no triggering, it needs support to remove the excess energy

How did you get into it? It's like to say, that LENR doesn't run, until we cool the system - whereas most LENR systems enjoy heating.

If you don't believe me, try to answer this (easier) question first: "What does happen during quantum entanglement?"

And you'll see, that the explanation of wave function collapse follows naturally from the answer.

It's basically this: "How does wave function collapse occur?" I think it's the result of an optical Fourier transform.

It's consequence of mutual interaction of wave functions of observer and object observed. Despite quantum mechanics doesn't mention it explicitly, one cannot exclude wave function of observer from thoughts. In dense aether model collapse of wave function occurs, when wave function of observer gets synchronized in phase with wave function of object observed. Once both waves undulate in unison, no relative undulation can be observed and both objects get actually entangled. Collapse of wave function is actually normal consequence of entanglement, just observed from perspective of observer.

I already explained here, that nothing counterintuitive is about electron bubbles in helium and whole this problem is actually handled well by quantum mechanics.

The basis of my theory are observations, that magnetic fields, scalar waves and neutrinos affect speed of nuclear reactions. Magnetic field is indeed too weak for being able to affect nuclear reactions directly, in scalar wave physics it can concentrate particles (scalar waves and neutrinos), which already have such an ability. You can imagine it like effect of wind to location of paratroopers landing: wind is too weak for being able to affect heavy person and parachute (to which such a person is attached) is too lightweight for to make significant impact. But connection of both bodies already enables the both. In dense aether model the neutrinos are surrounded by invisible scalar ("magnetic") charge, which has much larger scope than weak charge of neutrinos and interacts strongly with magnetic field. The magnetic field thus affects the propagation of neutrinos in similar way, like charge field affects path of electrons and pair of bucking magnets behaves like optical lens for them.

In dense aether model neutrinos are solitons of scalar waves in similar way, like photons are solitons of light waves. They don't interact very strongly with observable matter, but due to high density of nuclear matter the speed of their propagation gets greatly slowed down at the center of atoms. Here I presume, that neutrinos can get trapped by atom nuclei and they could bounce across it like standing waves, which they're also oscillate by itself (disappear and reappear periodically). When resonance condition of both periodic effects is met, the even subtle neutrino can affect nuclear reactions significantly, because it can bounce from inner surface of atom nuclei multiple-times.

In droplet model of atom nuclei nuclear reactions can be compared to coalescing of mercury droplets: their interaction requires temporal formation of thin neck with strong negative space-time curvature, which will initiate their merging (activation energy). And weak charge of neutrinos or neutrons serves here like tiny bubble of vacuum of strong negative space-time curvature. Another option is, the weak charge of neutrinos breaks CP symmetry of strong force and nonradiation condition of excited states, which usually prohibits in their interaction. The magnetic field thus doesn't affect speed of nuclear reactions directly, but it focuses neutrinos, which can already catalyze them.

Dark matter’s shadowy effect on Earth: Earth’s periodic passage through the galaxy’s disk could initiate a series of events that ultimately lead to geological cataclysms and mass extinctions.’

In my dark matter based theory (I, II, III) the increasing frequency of close asteroid encounters should be also related to global warming episodes. Professor Michael Rampino, a biologist at New York University already presented a theory , that the dark matter disrupts the path of comets and asteroids, which would bombard the Earth, trigger geovolcanism and cause climatic changes.

The truth being said, available data of mass extinctions and volcanic period still support both theories only vaguely(1, 2), which is why scientists are still pushing these hypotheses in popular books instead of serious publications. But we have another indirect indicia of this theory, which is typical for emergent (i.e. hyperdimensional) scenarios: we can find many separated indicia - but none of it works too reliably by itself.

But the research of prof. Rampino is no way unsuccessful. Between others he proposed the presence of a massive impact crater in the Falklands in 1992 after he noticed similarities with the Chicxulub crater in Mexico—the asteroid that created this crater is thought to have played a major role in the extinction of the dinosaurs 66 million years ago. But after a brief report at the Falklands site, very little research was carried out. Now, a team of scientists—including Rampino—have returned to the area to perform an “exhaustive search for additional new geophysical information” that would indicate the presence of an impact crater about 150 km (93.21 miles) in diameter.

And the Einstein digital papers of course

Speaking of vortex model of magnetism Einstein's 1st "paper" in particular. But he was dreamy boy these days.

No reason then to hold grudges for the past...if by doing so it is to your best interest

This is not about grudges or even precautionary principle - but about stating bare truth: results of Google subsidized research were all negative, they were based on naive experimental approach well proven to be futile by previous researchers - thus no help for cold fusion research. Millennials looking for jobs no matter how useless they are may still see it interesting, these ones with deeper background not. Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it - except that energetic and environmental crisis is looming and time is running out.

Team Google wants your opinion: "What is the highest priority experiment the LENR community wants to see conducted?"

I seriously doubt that someone recommended in situ X-ray study of expansion of lattice with using of Nafion electrolyte. Maybe they collected know-how from community, but they safely ignored it.

One could even perceive it like change of tactic: when apparently crippled and faked cold fusion replications at MIT and elsewhere didn't discourage physicists from research of cold fusion, the establishment organized some more trustworthy ones for Google money and gave them publicity provided by Nature journal. But zero result is still zero result - and this last study even didn't bother to look for cold fusion (heat, radiation and/or reaction products). It's solely normal electrochemical study, which shouldn't be connected with cold fusion research in any way.

But the disgust for responsible exact replications remains widespread even across cold fusion community - so that the above study comes as no big surprise even from solely disinterested position.
