From: Frederick Sparber If the jiggle is an RMS value tracking the ZPE fluctuations, minor adjustment (increasing the H2 fill pressure) would bring it dead on. Care to speculate as to the result of achieving such efficiency?

From: Michael Huffman ... The individual H atoms cannot remain reunited until their internal energy states match exactly, and are sufficiently high enough to remain in equilibrium with the rest of the universe. Once they are in this state, gravity can hold them together. Gravity?
