Brian Ahern is a LENR physicist. He thinks it is all about magnetics. Science has barely scratched the surface and really does not know what magnetism is.
I am feeling a sense of opportunity, perhaps insight. How can we use scale analogies; comparing magnetic scale to human scale, nation scale, planck scale?

Insights from my hypothesis.
In my hypothesis, mass acts like a vacuum cleaner that sucks in the tiny quantum foam particles that make up space. Those particles reappear at random locations anywhere in the universe. At any distance we are used to, it seems to act like gravity in every way that I know about.
Inside galaxies where there is lots of mass, gravity dominates. At very long distances, large volumes of empty space would seem to expand, thus looking like a force that pushes galaxies away from each other.
Outside galaxies, there is vast space with virtually no mass, so the expansion force dominates.
In our neighborhood (the closest 83 galaxies) there is roughly 10 billion times more space outside of galaxies than inside galaxies. That expansion force pushes against the outside of the galaxies, gently squeezing each galaxy tighter at the same time it pushes them all apart from each other.

Dark Energy and Dark Matter may be the same thing
Consider that Dark Energy is a force that arises within vast regions of empty space that pushes galaxies apart.
Dark Matter is the name given to a force that acts like extra gravity within galaxies. Without that extra force, the edges of the galaxy would fly away.
If you have a force pushing galaxies away from each other, that force needs to push on something. It seems reasonable that the force would push on the outer edge of the galaxies the most, making it look like the galaxies have more gravitational mass than they really do.

The physics of Attitude
The answer to whether the cup is half empty of half full depends on momentum. Do you see the cup is filling or emptying? Momentum is basic. Momentum is everywhere.
You could consider momentum as the 5th, 6th and 7th dimensions. No definition of a particle's location in physical space is complete without defining the time, spatial co-ordinates in 3 dimensions, and speed in each of the 3 dimensions. In many ways, where it is going, and how fast, is just as important as where it is.
In a person's mental and social space there are many more dimensions, but the concept still works. In each of those dimensions, where you are going is just as important as where you are.
Your direction is your attitude.
How well you apply your attitude is your speed.
How much of you is moving at that speed is your momentum.

Playing the scales: Regenerating Reliability
The rules change when you change scale. Little kids can do things that adults can't. Ants can do amazing things that humans can't. A little go cart can turn on a dime. A battleship is famous for being very slow to turn.
As our little business grew and eventually became a big business, we constantly had to learn new rules. Just about every time we started to get a handle on how to operate, we found that our existing techniques didn't work well anymore because we were bigger.
I became fascinated with just what things change when you change scale and what things stay the same. It helped develop a huge appreciation for how nature evolved critters of different sizes, and why they ended up with the body styles they have.
When we delve even deeper, past physiology and down into the underlying physics, a recurring pattern starts to show. It seems to me that at the lowest level of existence I can currently fathom, life starts out digital. It exists in a very noisy environment so it's first priority is to repair itself and make reliable copies of itself. As its population grows, the sum of many life units creates flows and capacities that function in analog form. Eventually some of the analog functions become stable and robust and complicated enough that they find ways to repair and copy themselves. Their organization has become digital.
The new level of digital units become very stable and successful and therefore proliferate. The huge quantity of them once again creates analog functions at a new scale. They also become building blocks that combine in ever more complicated ways. Eventually some of those functions learn to repair themselves and make copies, becoming digital, robust and prolific.
In this context, the term "digital" means a limited number of stable states.
Protons, electrons, neutrons seem to be digital. Next scale up is atoms. Perhaps the next scale up is biological cells. Then stable groups of cells that function as one unit (like animals or plants).

Dreaming in blue
This morning while I was still dreaming, I began to realize that my dreams were basically in black and white with certain features highlighted in blue. At some point I started to realize that this was weird and wondered what was going on.
Then I thought; maybe this a communication technique. Maybe something inside me was trying to get a message to my consciousness. As soon as that thought became conscious, there was a rapid fire series of pictures with blue highlights; too many to absorb. Kind of like someone excited at finally getting your attention and then talking so fast that you can't follow them.
Some of the pictures looked like DNA sequences, highlighting interesting segments. I waited too long before writing this down so many of the other pictures have faded. I hope there are more such communication opportunities.
