Considering the fact that by many scientifically acceptable accounts "Dark Matter" may actually comprise somewhere around 90 - 96% of all the (invisible/hidden) matter in our universe, whose to say much of it isn't languishing in what you state are Mills' highly controversial 10pm sized hydrinos? It is perhaps one of the most amusing cosmic jokes of the modern 21st century that so much unseen and unaccounted "matter" now appears to exist in our universe, affecting the laws of gravity and god only knows what else. It would appear that current text books on cosmology are still performing intellectual cartwheels, trying to construct acceptable theories that won't humiliate current SQM paradigms any more than what they have had to endure. Shoot! Let's NOT even get into all that Negative Energy, which BTW Mill's audacious TOE theory basically predicted years before it was actually confirmed - specifically that the expansion of the universe is accelerating, much to the astonishment of the scientific community.
