[Vo]:Water Arc Ball Lightning?

2007-12-18 Thread Frederick Sparber
I was working on a hypothesis that if a putative metastable negative muon is in the Oxygen atom's K shell at 13.6 Z^2 eV (870 eV) a proton that could be forced into the 8-electron cloud of the Oxygen atom and have it orbit at 200 x 13.6 eV (~ 2700 eV) there would be an energy gain of almost 2.0

Hi Fred, Did I miss out on a previous discussion of this? Aren't all muons negative and why would a metastable one exist in an oxygen atom? Presumably the muon would be in place of an electron, but why would that allow forcing a proton into the oxygen's electron cloud, except for the muon's

Howdy Steven Johnson, Today's university science classes avoid the Darwin theory simply because of the lack of evidence to support it. Unless and until they find some fossil evidence that can demonstrate a valid crossover or in-between species.. it's the stuff of library coffee shop
