Fran,
Within the realm of possibilities are: 1) Naudts may be incorrect, or only partially correct 2) Naudts may describe a broad formative process for a particle which becomes a stable particle, once it leaves a cavity - both on its own, or as a hydride, or in a bound form 3) There could be alternate ways of forming stable redundant ground states in both hydrogen and helium, and the solar version is one of many which includes a Casimir version and a Mills version, all of which have common properties but differing formative methods. 4) There is a partial overlap with the whole Rydberg matter phenomena. BTW - Wiki has an newer entry, but there RM is new and there could be RM from other sources with a longer half-life. 5) We have only scratched the surface on the possibilities and I would be surprised if this turns out to be simple - and an "either/or situation" with regard to Naudts/Mills/RM/pycno/BEC/etc Jones From: Roarty, Francis X [ Jones, If Naudts is correct about the hydrino being relativistic hydrogen then wouldn't the hydrinos ejected from the sun be based on classic spatial acceleration as opposed to equivalent acceleration due to suppression inside a cavity? I would expect relativistic hydrogen to quickly decelerate to normal hydrogen in our atmosphere. I know Mills mentions that hydrogen can catalyze even with itself but I don't think this would be on the same order as a rigid Casimir geometry - at least not in the free space between the sun and earth. Without the velocity or the corona environment to maintain the hydrino state could a covalent bond be enough to hold a dihydrino from translating back to hydrogen? Regards Fran
