A few comments:- 1) I seem to recall someone else having used Calcium Oxide before. 2) Perhaps unrelated, but 36 microns is the wavelength of a photon with an energy of 0.034 eV. If this is divided by the fine structure constant (alpha) we get an energy of 4.72 eV which is slightly larger than the dissociation energy of the H2 molecule. (This may explain why the Calcium Oxide crystal can't be larger than 36 microns.) A further division by alpha yields 646.745 eV which is close to the value that Prof. Leif Holmlid associates with what he calls H0. 3) I saw somewhere on the Net, that someone showed that the masses of fundamental particles are linked by the fine structure constant. Perhaps alpha is the size reduction you get when you wrap a photon into a self reinforcing structure? Buy electric cars and recharge them from solar panels on your roof.
