The lady in red certainly has the appearance of a neutron if the electron orbits in this time domain(classical) fashion. Can we assume that the ability of Rydberg hydrogen to fuse relatively easily is evidence that quantum mechanics is wrong? It is not clear to me that there would be much additional electric field shielding due to the shape of the football orbital unless the electron poititon can be located accurately in time. I beleive that this is contrary to the uncertaintly principle.

Well, look at the Lady in Red: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Sommerfeld_ellipses.svg from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bohr_model Granted that the Bohr model is simplistic; but, for a few hundreths of a nanosecond, the Rydberg atom of hydrogen is essentially a neutron.
