What LENR needs is not just a theory or a host of competing theories, but a single, generally accepted theory to guide research and investment by offering benchmarks and goals. Otherwise, the time and investment cash pub into the field is all too likely to be a loss.
High temperature superconductors at least have proven experimental results and a handful of commercial products. LENR is not even at that stage yet. That can change quickly, with modern physics having the great virtue of honoring experimental proof as validating theory.
The problems of suction were solved according to the Combined Intelligence Objectives Subcommittee. That’s why I say it was a secret weapon kept secret.
What products have high temp superconductors generated? We were supposed to have roomtemp maglev trains by now.
People were flying for decades before the equation of flight was generated.
Even today we regularly use gas stoves to cook while 99.99% of the population couldnt explain the plasma physics behind it.
