They were grants from the Super Nova that left all our stuff behind. They should still be relatively the same quantities per isotope yet today because they are stable isotopes. I think nickel has 5 and copper has 5.
So, you use tunneling and a Weak Force based process to convert a stable isotope of nickel to what? Is it going to be an unstable or a stable isotope of copper?
So, let's move on over to the world of the Strong Nuclear Force. It teaches us thatif you take a hydrogen warhead to smack atoms together you will get both stable and unstable isotopes of all sorts of things, and with the unstable items you will get different half-lives. Some of the stuff will decay down to some other stable isotope of a different atom before it hits the ground. Other stuff won't.
This was common knowledge back during the 1950s when they were doing atmospheric nuclear tests all the time. They taught about it in gradeschool. We had gigantic wall charts available to tell us what was happening and WHY WE COULD NOT EAT POTATO SKINS.
Did they give that stuff up or something?
Knowledge of what is possible with the Weak Force is pretty thin in contrast. That's mostly because we haven't been studying it. No money in coming up with Nuclear stuff that doesn't blow things up eh!
Earth comes equipped with copper and nickel in certain proportions of stable isotopes.Anyone following this discussion most likely understands that. And, they most likely understand that there is a Weak Force.
It's totally irrelevant to analyzing Rossi's E-Cat. If it does work, we can then figure out how it works. But we haven't reached the point where we know that it does work.
The fact that Rossi's sample contained no signs of any nuclear reaction (based on Strong or Weak Force) is suspicious. Especially when Miley is reporting that their LENR experiments (Slide Show) are producing 39 isotopes that do not match natural ratios.
Faking 39 changes to natural isotope ratios would be very difficult (and very expensive). It is very strong evidence that some unexplained nuclear process is going on.
Rossi's sample, with 0 changes to natural isotope ratios, suggests that there is no nuclear (Strong or Weak) process going on. While faking Miley's results would be difficult and expensive, faking Rossi's results would be cheap and easy.
What *are* the different isotopes of copper and nickel, and what are their decay paths, and the half-life of each isotope? What are the by-products of decay at each step? Can these be detected and linked to that step of decay with specificity?
Cheers!
