Still about the energetics of the TGD based models for the formation of planets and Moon

TGD based cosmology (see this) predicts that the cosmic expansion occurs as a sequence of rapid phase transitions, increasing the thickness of the monopole flux tubes and liberating energy as the string tension is reduced.

One application is Expanding Earth hypothesis (see this, this, this, which states that Cambrian Explosion about half billion years ago was induced by a relatively rapid increase of Earth radius by factor 2. The details of the energetics of this transition is still far from well-understood although I have considered several options (see this). The same problem appears in the model for the formation of the Moon (see this) as a transition in which a surface layer of the Earth was thrown out to form Moon by gravitational condensation.

Where did the energy needed to compensate for the decrease of the gravitational binding energy in these explosive transitions come from? A rough estimate for the gravitational binding energy of a proton at the surface of the Earth is about 1 eV. Gravitational energy is not the only energy involved so that the estimates involving only gravitational energy are very uncertain. What seems clear is that the needed energy cannot be electromagnetic.

I have already earlier proposed that the transformations of the so-called dark nuclei to ordinary nuclei and liberating almost all ordinary nuclear binding energy could explain "cold fusion" (see this). The TGD counterpart of cold fusion could also provide the energy needed to compensate for the reduction of the gravitational binding energy in the both processes.
