Actually, I think that they may blow apart, and recombine many times before coming to a stable diatomic state. This also could well be the reason for the excess energy. > > Doesn't make any sense to me. It does if you look at the cavitation bubble collapse phenomena. The bubble collapses and expands millions of times per second.

It could well be that immediately after the initial dissociation, the H atoms have dropped to a lower energy state, "shrunk", as Dr. Mills describes it, and that it takes many repeated attempts at recombination before the two atoms have enough energy stored internally that they are able to permanently reunite. In the shrunken state, they are simply not elastic enough to absorb the impact and stay together. Another key to whether or not the two atoms stay together has to do with the distance traveled for them to reunite. As the two atoms approach each other, they are accelerating due to Casimir forces. With each successive attempt to reunite, a portion of the impact energy is internalized by the individual atoms, giving them more elasticity. The distance that they travel apart from each other upon blowing apart again is shorter, making the next attempt to reunite more likely for success until finally, a balance or equilibrium state is achieved. 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. The excess energy is coming from the ether, and like the cavitation bubble, this could well be an ether pump. Has anyone ever done an energy audit on a bouncing ball? That is what the light measurements look like for a cavitation bubble collapse - short bursts that decrease in intensity with each successive bubble collapse. > I'm not sure I buy this explanation.
