Holy crap! Monatomic hydrogen is a composite boson? I didn't know that. Interesting. Wonder where that could lead, especially if under the right conditions dancing gobs of bosonic monoatomic hydrogen could be finessed back into fermion-like states. Ka-boom????

Didn't Douglas Adams already address this matter... something about "42". Regards Steven Vincent Johnson www.OrionWorks.com www.zazzle.com/orionworks
