Horace, Thanks for the comment. What is needed are some toy models with some simple simulations. I will check out your theory. Do you believe any "new physics" is required - or does standard QM suffice? I am getting pretty boggled by the complexity of it all. LP
I should have noted that my application of zero point energy to nuclear reactions is possibly "new" physics, though the concepts applied are not new at all, i.e. Casimir force, uncertainty energy, Fermi pressure, etc. What is new is the concept of the energetic trapping of electrons in heavy nuclei. This concept requires no new physics I think, just an understanding of a simple mechanism by which a net zero charge ensemble can enter the nucleus via tunneling and a net magnetic energy gain. That this is feasible is to me self evident.
The basic concept behind the deflated state is simple conventional physics - namely that the magnetic force, a 1/r^4 force, becomes larger than the 1/r^2 Coulomb force at close radii.
The basic theory is very simple. It has to be. I'm a self trained simple minded amateur. Of course it could be all wrong! It does make useful predictions and suggest many experimental avenues of research, so it seems to me at least useful in that regard.
