Harry, Your description also supports Naudt's proposal of relativistic hydrogen - this isn't hydrogen at near C spatial velocity but equivalent acceleration caused by DIRECT manipulation of vacuum energy density using suppression. Your statement [snip] "A particle that happens to be moving quickly enough and is headed in the right direction would be able to coast through an opening before it closes.[/snip] has a temporal interpretation. The "opening" of which you speak is the Pythagorean difference of matter in different inertial frames to the time axis, IMHO the hydrogen undergoes the same gamma transformation as if were travelling at near luminal SPATIAL velocity and coasting into a stationary Ni atom. From a 4d perspective the "equivalent" velocity of Hydrogen persists (coasts) long enough to interact with nearly stationary (by comparison) Ni. The 3D orientation of the stationary Ni coulomb barrier to the time axis is different than the orientation of the 3D electric field of the accelerated hydrogen to the time axis. The opposition is discounted by the reduced overlap of 3D space - from each others perspective they both seem reduced in physical size but unlike Lorentzian contraction on a spatial vector I believe "equivalent" acceleration results in a symetrical contraction on all spatial axis because the "equivalent" vector is displaced 90 degrees from the spatial plane. Perhaps this is why UFO's give the APPEARANCE of rapid spatial velocity and turning ability but are so difficult for radar to track :_) Regards Fran
