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.
Bob,
Yes - for the sake of brevity in an already too-long post, all of the
various forms of dense hydrogen were conflated under the title of UDH or
dense hydrogen. I would not say they are all "unrelated" however.
In fact, I do not subscribe to the details of Holmlid's version, nor to
Rydberg matter. There are better models than his, based on Mayer and
others - but in any case, extreme densification should present as
"coldness"...
I suppose it could be called "virtual coldness"...
