Suppose epicatalysis can cycle between hydrogen and shrunken hydrogen instead of just between H2 and H. That would be the logical progression to Mills’ view, especially if UV was present - except RM sez there is no shuttling, just a one-way, but strongly bonded shrunken state. If there is to be net gain from any kind of chemical asymmetry, it seems likely that a shuttling to f/H and then back again, rather than or in addition to atomic and molecular asymmetry, is likely – since the physical evidence for f/H is slim. In terms of the long mean free-path, many of Mills earlier experiments were run at vacuum. For Sheehan - the free path is not really all that long - about a micron and about 10^17 atoms/cc. Mills often uses a stronger vacuum which is less populated. Definitely, Sheehan should look for UV emission.
