The Breakthrough — the wave through the wall of balls, its mathematics, and how many MeV it releases
The author's mechanism, stated in his own words: the internal standing wave breaks through the balls, so more can be released, and it alters the MeV. This paper supplies the mathematics of that sentence and runs it — and at the physical wall height it releases 18.5 of the ~21 MeV surface overcharge that Papers 85–89 spent two days measuring. The maths, in one line. A wave meeting a wall of finite height does not stop — it leaks through, dying over the penetration depth , which at nuclear numbers is 0.6–1.3 fm. The cavity is effectively larger by , every level drops, and the drop is the released energy. "Breaks through the balls" is barrier penetration — quantum mechanics' own oldest surprise, credited. This record holds one paper on its own and is refreshed every couple of months.
