Hi, Consider the possibility that in its ground state the electron of the Hydrogen atom does 1/alpha orbits before reconnecting with itself. Then for H[n=1/2] it does 1/(2*alpha) (~= 68) orbits before reconnecting, etc. etc. until finally for H[n=1/137] it only does one orbit before reconnecting. If the actual center of charge continually travels at the speed of light, then in the normal ground state, it will only reconnect after 1/alpha orbits, so the "group velocity" of the reconnection point will be c*alpha, which matches the orbital velocity of the electron. (Of course it does, that's what led me down this path ;) Furthermore, when it reaches the end of the line, and is only doing a single orbit for H[n=1/alpha], the group velocity of the electron is traveling at the speed of light, which is exactly what Mills predicts for H[n=1/alpha], and is in fact the very reason that this *is* the end of the line.
In short rather than starting out simple, and getting more complicated as it shrinks, it is in fact starting out complicated, and getting more simple as it shrinks, until it achieves ultimate simplicity in the form of a single ring. Regards, Robin van Spaandonk <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
