The best theoretical fit for explaining the target matter for laser
irradiation in the Holmlid effect, arguably involves the "binuclear atom"
instead of UDH.
The binuclear atom theory of Cerofolini and Para proposes two protons and two
electrons in a single metastable unit - not a molecule but an atomic unit. This
atom is bound at about 30 eV but is metastable nevertheless due to internal
stress. The protons orbit each other at close range where the strong force is
balanced by electrostatic repulsion.
Magnetism is the only natural mechanism for two units of UDH to bind to each
other as a target - but since hydrogen is diamagnetic that is problematic. If
two or more protons are required for the Holmlid effect then UDH is hard to
justify and the binuclear atom looks more intuitive.
Having two very close protons as the target instead of one would allow for a
"standing wave amplification effect," such as is seen in the plasma grape
phenomena. Therefore, there is a better fit with the binuclear atom theory in a
hybrid approach.
This hybrid approach of course is too far removed from Holmlid's theory for him
to consider - but that doesn't mean it is incorrect...
OTOH... can anything valid in physics be based on the physics of grapes?
In vino veritas ??
