One thing worth noting is the Efimov's factor of 22.7 I am wondering about its larger significance. Does that factor 'ring a bell' with anyone?
The only thing found so far in googling, and this could be relevant - is that for Helium: the "mass conversion factor" is 22.7. This conversion factor is applied across equations for calculating electron binding energies within an atom, according to this post, which I can barely follow. http://forum.weatherzone.com.au/ubbthreads.php/topics/930206/62 Borromean hydrogen would consists of 3 bound atoms of hydrogen in the Borromean ring configuration. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/12/091211131526.htm The Efimov state involves trimers and bosons. Usually it require very low temperature. That is where the QBEC comes in. The QBEC or quasi BEC, is a hypothetical transitory condensate, especially composed of the only unique "composite boson" in nature that might possibly condense in an oscillating fashion at high temperature - for a tiny instant of time. Efimov, now at the University of Washington predicted the spacing in energy of the trimers; he said they would appear every time the binding energy increased by a factor of 22.7. Assuming normal binding is 13.6 eV does that imply that the first order ring is 13.6 x 22.7 = 308.7 eV ? If Borromean hydrogen does on occasion grab a deflated electron and fuse into Helium-3, then the fact that 22.7 is apparently seen as a factor for calculating electron binding energy of helium could be relevant. . or not.
