Rydberg orbitals are huge while we are told that fh and other condensed, Mill’s like models have orbitals lower than ground state but what if the Naudts model of relativistic model of the hydrogen atom is correct and achieved some of the smaller fractional values he was considering… how would the orbital of such a dilated atom appear? My point is we are programmed to assume these dilated structures only occur at near C spatial displacement and no though is given to how a relatively stationary particle would appear in a lab where space time is modified by other equivalent means [ suppression via types of London forces]. IMHO the orbital would appear to shrink and speed up from our perspective in a Lorentzian like fashion to surround a nucleus displaced on what we would consider the temporal axis but the question becomes how to consider an orbital flying perpendicular to the 3d space from which the measurement is perceived, does the shrunken time unit /accelerated half life require a corresponding spatial displacement? Just wild conjecture but could dilation be the source of all this confusion wrt syntax? Fran
