In this paper, we present, apparently for the first time, experimental confirmation of the Intermediate Controlled Nuclear Fusion without harmful radiations proposed by the author in preceding works. The fusions are centered in the synthesis of nitrogen from deuterium and carbon that, at low energies, cannot possibly release neutron or other harmful radiations. The fusions then include other syntheses. The controlled fusions here reported have been achieved via a hadronic reactor built and operated according to the laws of hadronic mechanics and chemistry; the absence of harmful radiations has been established via a number of neutron and other counters; the resulting fusions rare truly controlled thanks to the control of pressure, power, flow, temperature, trigger, and other engineering means, but cannot be explosive for various reasons. The reported measurements also provide experimental confirmation of the new chemical species of magnecules.

In this paper, we present systematic studies on the insufficiencies of special relativity within physical media, such as water, atmospheres and the interior of astrophysical bodies. We outline the rather large body of research on the deformations of special relativity applicable within physical media, known under the name of isotopies. We then present, apparently for the first time, experimental verifications of the hypothesis formulated by the author in 1991, and today known as isoredshift, according to which light propagating within a physical medium experiences a shift of its frequency toward the red without any relative motion between the source, the medium and the observer, the shift originating from expected loss of energy to the medium due to interactions. We then confirm the isoredshift in the colors of our atmosphere as well as in the large difference in cosmological redshift between certain quasars and their associated galaxies; we indicate the consequential conceivable absence of universe expansion, big bang, dark matter, and dark energy; and propose systematic tests for the resolution of cosmological models via experiments on Earth along the teaching of Galileo Galilei.

In this paper, we propose apparently for the first time a new type of controlled nuclear fusion called ?intermediate? because occurring at energies intermediate between those of the ?cold? and ?hot? fusions to attempt the resolution of their known insufficiencies. The paper then presents a progress report on the industrial realizations going on to enhance the net energy output that, currently, is already of the order of five times the used electric energy at relatively low operating power, pressure and temperature, as verifiable in the IBR laboratory in Florida.

For this purpose:

1. We show that known limitations of quantum mechanics, quantum chemistry and special relativity, such as their reversibility in time compared to the irreversibility of all energy releasing processes, cause excessive insufficiencies for all controlled nuclear fusions.
2. We outline the structurally irreversible coverings of quantum mechanics, quantum chemistry and special relativity, collectively known as specifically conceived and verified during the past three decades for all energy releasing processes.
3. We identify seven physical laws predicted by the latter disciplines that have to be verified by all controlled nuclear fusions to occur in a systematic way.
4. We review the industrial research that can be disclosed at the moment in the most promising engineering realization and optimization of said seven laws.
5. We review in construction details a number of reactors currently under industrial development for the possible realization of the novel controlled intermediate nuclear fusions with particular reference to reactors capable of producing large, industrially relevant heat for nuclear synthesis among light, natural and stable isotopes predicted by said covering theories without the emission of neutrons, protons and alphas and without the release of radioactive waste.

Available reactors already produce several millions of BTU per hour over the used electric energy, although this excess heat could be due to carbon combustion and other non-nuclear events. Hence, current industrial efforts aim at the increase of the efficiency and the net production of heat beyond the capabilities of orthodox interpretations. The results of these efforts, whether positive or negative, are expected to be published at some future time.

Following Rutherford?s 1920 historical hypothesis of the neutron as a compressed hydrogen atom in the core of stars, the laboratory synthesis of the neutron from protons and electrons was claimed in the late 1960 by the Italian priest-physicist Don Carlo Borghi and his associates via a metal chamber containing a partially ionized hydrogen gas at a fraction of $1 bar$ pressure traversed by an electric arc with $5 J$ energy and microwaves with $10^{10} s^{-1}$ frequency. The experiment remained unverified for decades due to the lack of theoretical understanding of the results. In this note we report various measurements showing that, under certain conditions, electric arcs within a hydrogen gas produce neutral, hadron-size entities that are absorbed by stable nuclei and subsequently result in the release of detectable neutrons, thus confirming Don Borghi?s experiment. The possibility that said entities are neutrons is discussed jointly with other alternatives. Due to their simplicity, a primary scope of this note is to stimulate the independent re-run of the tests as conducted or in suitable alternative forms.

This paper presents nine inconsistency theorems for general relativity theory (GRT), and shows that they ultimately originate from the use of Riemannian curvature and the abandonment of universal invariance (which is stronger than the customary covariance). These features cause GRT to be non-canonical at the classical level and non-unitary at the operator level, resulting under time evolution in catastrophic structural problems, such as lack of invariant basic measurement units, loss of stable numerical predictions, absence of reliable observables, etc. The nine inconsistency theorems are re-inspected via isotopic methods and the related new theory of gravitation known as isogravitation. This new theory offers swift and simple resolutions for all the inconsistencies identified in GRT.

Some (but not all) of the major problems facing mathematics and physics at this time are: (1) Development of a new mathematics to accompany the new physics; (2) Problematic aspects of Einsteinian theories for the exterior dynamical problem in vacuum; (3) Lack of applicability of Einsteinian theories for interior dynamical problems within physical media; (4) Development of the "new physics of antimatter"; and (5) the greatest challenge for the next millennium) to represent the ether In a quantitative form consistent with experimental evidence. Our development of the new mathematics mentioned above has been carried out precisely to facilitate such study of the ether. Our group, the Institute for Basic Research, is working on all these problems and is anxious to collaborate with others in such work.

The main hypothesis. In this paper we study the cosmological quasar redshift and their internal redshifts and buleshifts via a new geometry, called isominkowskian geometrY, which is constructed as a covering on the Minkowskian geometry for the representation of electromagnetic waves and extended particles propagating within inhomogeneous and anisotropic physical medica. The complementary isoeuclidean and isoriemannian geometries are also indicated.
