This is a fun discussion, Jones, but an important aspect of this troubles me. You are likening UDD, UDH with sub-ground-state hydrogen; and the way Holmlid defines UDD/UDH, they are unrelated phenomena. Holmlid describes UDD/UDH as forming (near reversably) from Rydberg matter, a well above ground state quasi-molecule or condensed matter particle of hydrogen. In fact, each of the atoms in this Rydberg matter are on the verge of ionization! So, the overall Hamiltonian for this Rydberg matter is just slightly lower than for the same number of atoms each in a Rydberg state - that's why the Rydberg matter is meta-stable, because there is a local minimum of the Hamiltonian. Yet Holmlid goes on to say that the Rydberg matter can spontaneously switch (approximately reverse-ably) to the UDD/UDH compact form, implying that the Hamiltonian for the compact form is nearly equivalent to that of the high energy Rydberg matter form. Now, compare this to the Hamiltonian for a sub-ground-state hydrogen atom (hydrino or Maly/Vavra, Meulenberg, Paillet... shrunken hydrogen). The shrunken hydrogen will have a much smaller Hamiltonian than the UDD/UDH Rydberg-related matter. In fact, the shrunken hydrogen has an energy deficit below the hydrogen ground state that is greater than the excited energy of the Rydberg state above the ground state. Rydberg matter does have enough angular momentum to have a photon exchange where, as SVJ has said (I remembered), there is not enough angular momentum in the shrunken hydrogen to exchange a photon. UDD/UDH and shrunken hydrogen are two completely different hypothetical things.
While the shrunken hydrogen has insufficient angular momentum for photon exchange, I would be interested to hear discussion on whether shrunken hydrogen can interact with phonons. Would it require shrunken hydrogen condensed matter to interact with phonons? Can shrunken hydrogen condensed matter interact with phonons in ordinary condensed matter? Would that phonon coupling be evanescent? On Mon, Apr 3, 2017 at 7:58 AM, Jones Beene <jone...@pacbell.net> wrote: > Dense hydrogen is nothing if not cold.
