It would be nice to have more personal contact with data but I am well aware of human limitations. <br /><br />To Stephen: <br /><br />This might be application of new physics before it is even admitted to exist! There are many experiments suggesting annual variation of nuclear reaction rates but they are simply dismissed. <br /><br />My proposal for explanation is not in terms of interactions with neutrinos but in terms of a new physics associated with nuclei themselves. This new physics would predict fine structure of energy levels in keV scales, MeV (=1000 keV) is the scale for ordinary nuclear energy levels. <br /><br />Incoming radiation from Sun would change the distribution of these energy levels which would have different reaction and decay rates and cause the variation of the average rates. <br /><br />keV range might make itself visible also in cold fusion and would couple nuclear physics to atomic physics where also keV is rather usual energy scale.<br /><br />Here we however encounter a deep taboo. The complete isolation of nuclear and atomic physics is one of the cherished taboos of physics as cold fusion people have bitterly learned. It cannot be challenged by experimental findings, and even less by theoretical proposals.

It's hoped that anomalies in the rate of decay would indicate forthcoming solar flares. A US patent has been filed to protect the idea.<br /><br />The research has significant implications for science. To date, the rate of radioactive decay is understood to be constant. Further, the researchers hypothesize that it's neutrinos that are affecting the change in the rate of decay: an idea sure to turn heads.<br /><br />"Since neutrinos have essentially no mass or charge, the idea that they could be interacting with anything is foreign to physics," Jenkins said. "So, we are saying something that doesn't interact with anything is changing something that can't be changed. Either neutrinos are affecting decay rate or perhaps an unknown particle is."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10614348.post-57033684814563971672012-08-15T11:43:59.085-07:002012-08-15T11:43:59.085-07:00Plato has this link. http://wlcg.web.cern.ch/

Human lifetime however remains the same. Pity;-). <br /><br />Speaking seriously, it is frustrating to see how irrational science in its conservatism (or perhaps better to say instrumentalism) is. Facts are staring directly to our face for decades but dogma prevents us to see them. For instance, in a <a href="http://www.tiede.fi/blog/2012/07/27/kertomuksia-voitosta/>finnish discussion group</a> I was censored out as I dared to tell that the data about new particle at LHC are not quite consistent with the interpretation as standard model Higgs! Big Science is now what church was at middle ages.
