Stimulate quasiparticles in that ancient British Stone. That’s something he may not have tried yet.

From the article:
"...using quantum bits or qubits to store information in 0s, 1s, and Mb>multiple values in between ..."
Wut? I thought qubit values were 0, 1, or "indeterminate" -- a superposition of both 0 and 1.

This article is saying a qubit might have a "value" of, say, 1/4, 1/2. 7/8. That's not right. Is it?

Oops.

"Mb>" should have been <b> that is, bold. So much for emphasis.

In the Quantum Universe, anything is possible.

That’s why Einstein called it ‘spooky’.

That’s also why a Quantum Computer will be so powerful.
It will be able to ‘quantify’ not just two states of solid probability, but every possible probability and every probable possibility.......... ............

Yeah, they've drilled a hole through it, now they've just gotta figure out how to make a string that goes in more than two directions and is connected to something that it's not tied to. When perfected, it will also, incidentally, revolutionize billiards. Thanks Red Badger.

I saw that too, and questioned it.

Then I realized that I am not a quantum expert, so I figured I didn't know what I was talking about :)

Glad someone else caught that.

“How soon before Namibian “scientists” are given credit for all of the discoveries?”

LOL!

My thoughts exactly. The media is so desirous (in Rush’s words) to show that Africans are just as good as whites that they will go to great length emphasing that the rock came from Africa, as though that was an African accomplishment.

Well, I'm hardly a quantum expert -- my BS Physics was in 1974, and I didn't stay in the field of Physics (I have worked as engineer/sysadmin all my career), and most of the quantum discoveries and such came after I was no longer associated with it.

So I don't claim to know what I'm talking about either! LOL

The subject of Rydberg Polaritons has come up before with respect to LENR.

Plasmon polaritons are essentially electron orbital stuff with energy range in units of electronvolts. The Rydberg orbitals of dense hydrogen should cover the bottom electron orbitals with ionization energy in range of tens-thousands electronvolts. The electron capture and neutron decay is already a nuclear matter stuff in range of kiloelectronvolts and higher. The nuclear reactions like the proton fusion would release energies in range of megaelectronvolts. The formation of pions (mesons) begins at the one hundreds of megaelectronvolts and the formation of muons (2nd generation of lepton) requires the gamma radiation of energy 1 GeV or above (i.e. the cosmic rays). The formation of strange quark based mesons like the kaons would require energies even at least one order of magnitude higher (LEP and Fermilab colliders) . So that once you’re mixing the polaritons and kaons stuffs together in an effort to somehow integrate both concepts into your pet LENR theory, then you’re off by some ten orders of magnitude.

The trick of laser light in Holmlid experiments is, it has very high effective temperature energy density due to extreme narrow spectral width, so that the pulsed infrared laser can initiate reactions well above the GeV scales. Even the common green-light laser pointer has an effective temperature of black body radiation in range of billion degrees of Centigrade, i.e. thousands of electronvolts, so it could initiate the cold fusion in principle.

I feel this has to do more with nanoplasmonics than Holmlid’s work.

Here constant UV light is converted into electrons by the nanoparticles, which affect the chemical reactions involved with them.

In Holmlid’s case laser pulses serve mainly to violently disrupt the ultra-dense hydrogen layer (also on flat surfaces), which exists before the laser is used.

If there’s a correlation with Holmlid’s work it might be through Etiam Oy. In their patent they suggest that local electric fields are greatly enhanced at sharp edges and nanotips, and such fields are both able to ionize hydrogen atoms in contact with it and forming Rydberg hydrogen, as well as “destabilize” Rydberg matter and inverted Rydberg matter (now known as ultra-dense hydrogen), depending on their strength. Visible and IR photons may also form surface plasmon polaritons that proceed along those features, reportedly improving the reaction by enhancing the local electric field strength.

Quote from Wyttenbach
axil : This is good news for chemical applications and shows the potential of Pt as a chemical catalyst. In LENR we need cavities of sub nano size not particles, but in a pile of small particles there will always be some small cavitiesm but with random shape.

This is most likely wrong. But any “stable” plasma forms out zones with a “grid like structure”, that look similar to your drawings. The SUN-CELL can be explained by plasma physics.

Metal nano and micro particles produce vortexes of light/electrons in what can be termed as polariton solitons. (7)

It is worth explicitly point it out because it is such an important reference (7) “Plasmonics with a twist: taming optical tornadoes on the nanoscale”. This article provides a wonderful explanation of how metal nanoparticles integrate with polaritons to form EMF energy concentrations.

images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSqVjvZDllmTDGS_5VdTfV04sWN9sFRvZ0dOthQMhgC4aX4THc1

Simply put, the most powerful EMF amplifiaction is produced by the widest RANGE in particle sizes. A ultra small particle produces the most EMF amplification.

Nanoplasmonics provide many types of EMF amplification mechanisms. One of the more difficult mechanisms to understand is how a pile of nano and micro particles greatly amplify EMF. The reference provided in this post shows how the topology in the way particles aggregate explains how EMF is concentrated through vortex formation. The reference defines an analogy between a vortex and a gear. Like a funnel, a large particle gathers the energy from a wave of EMF far larger than its diameter, In the case of the Rossi system, this type particle according to the patent between 1 to 100 microns but mostly 5 micron nickel particles available commercially off the shelf (COTS). Other nanoparticles are produced as an ongoing process during E-Cat operation by what is termed “Secret Sauce” chemical additives. These additives provide the smallest nanoparticles in the particle aggregations. A picture of how these particles aggregate is now worth understanding (8). But there is a constraining factor that limits the aggregation of a certain size limit due to dipole forces (9).

The largest particles produce relatively huge amounts of dipole generated current. . Other particles of various sizes accumulate around the large nickel particles (100 microns). Each of these particles produces a photonic vortex proportional to the size of the large particle member of the aggregation. These vortexes fit together like gears where the large vortex provides a large amount of power concentration, and the other smaller vortexes provide a gear train that speeds up the rotation rate of the smaller gears down the train.

Finally, the smallest vortices associated with hydrogen crystals, spin at high rates of speed providing the largest EMF power amplification. If a 12 atom nanoparticle could be had to add to the particle mix, a huge EMF amplifiaction effect could be produced.

The takeaway is that a large spread of particles sizes produced within an aggregation of particles generates the most powerful EMF amplification effects. This fact explains why the “secret sauce” effect provides such a large EMF power amplification result. These alkali metal hydrides supply the intermediately sized gears that allow the large nickel gears to transfer their vast store of energy with little loss to the smallest hydrogen based gears down a smoothly running vortex power transmission chain. The smallest particles are the hydrogen Rydberg matter which has its own unique supercharged EMF amplification mechanism.

I venture to say that there is randomness associated with this particle aggregation process that enables a sort of natural selection where the most effective dust pile configurations provide the most EMF amplification. When there are an abundance of particles, the chances are good that some of these piles will be LENR capable. That is to say, when there are a large number of particles, the chances are good that some of their aggregates will produce EMF implication great enough to catalyze quantum mechanical level effects.

There is also a certain lifetime associated with particle formation. Particle piles are constantly falling apart. These particle aggregates must be constantly rebuilt to maintain a sustained reaction rate.

Magnetic monopole beam

One of the amazing revelations that have come out of nanoplasmonic research is the explanation of how the “dark mode” polariton soliton can produce a monopole magnetic beam. This amazing revelation is not theory; it is based on experimental results. But there is a theoretical explanation that goes along with the experimental data (10). The monopole magnetic beam becomes pronounced at polariton soliton (PS) intermediate energy levels since the Surface Plasmon Polariton (SPP) align all the spins of the polaritons inside the soliton to project out of the soliton from its center perpendicular to its direction of wave rotation. The polariton has a spin of 2.

There is even an experimental micrograph that shows the soliton and the monopole beam coming out of it

nphys2406-f2.jpg

This beam can extend out to 100 microns away from the soliton.

Sin+t%C3%ADtulo.png

This beam must be triggered into forming a monopole configuration by using a high electrostatic potential (50 to 100 kilovolts as per Rossi’s patent) (Kerr effect)

Namibia is a really diverse country, although most is really dry. The sand in the Namib Desert is said to be the oldest in the world, something like 50 million years old. The coast on the west is covered with shipwrecks

It’s also the original home of the San (bushmen) who have lived there for 20k years, they were for years not considered human and hunting of the San was permitted.

I’ve been fortunate enough to hunt in Namibia, in the edge of the Kalahari to the mountains and foothills of Okahanja.
