CAN THE COLOR FORCE BE USED TO ACHIEVE FUSION

We explore the possibility that the color force can be used to overcome the Coulomb barrier in fusion, If there are small deviations from exact color neutrality, large separations of color may occur when two elements of opposite color defects are mixed non-uniformly. In order to restore color neutrality locally, the strong color force polarizes the nuclei and brings them close enough to fuse. If palladium and deuterium are such elements, it is possible that all the recent cold fusion results are but different manifestations of the above process.
