➢ If hydrinos are just more stable versions of isolated hydrogen atoms they should have been discovered in hydrogen gas using old technology many decades ago. But this is just a strawman argument against their existence.
Harry What old technology, exactly, would have discovered them? That is an intriguing path to follow BTW it could be a “fundable” inquiry involving a deeper look at old data.. should anyone here be looking for a new project. H* would have almost the same mass as hydrogen - but would be so much denser that it probably cannot react chemically in the same way, so they are relatively inert. For instance, there is unlikely to be found in nature a form of water where one of the protons is replaced with dense hydrogen as this could present a charge imbalance. It would be worth the effort to find the most likely place dense hydrogen should be found in nature (assuming it is real) My guess is that it would be in biological lifeforms which use it for survival, somehow.
