Lately there has been considerable debate about Dr. Mills hydrinos here in vortex. I think I'll post my hydrino question here before I consider pestering the Hydrino discussion group. Things have been kinda dull over there lately.
It has been theorized that the electron circling the hydrino's proton nucleus might eventually transform the nucleus into a neutron if there have been a sufficient number of fractional collapses of the orbital shell. I believe this may occur somewhere around 127 fractional collapses where the electron's velocity would eventually approach the speed of light. Curiously, things seem to get a little fuzzy in regards to what CQM predicts is the fate of hydrinos that manage to attain this highly refined fractional ground state. Even Mills, I gather, has not cared to speculate too deeply on this possibility in his CQM publications, at least not publicly. Does anyone know how much TOTAL ENERGY is theorized to be released by the collapsing orbital shell of the electron belonging to a hydrino as it approaches the ultimate speed of light through approximately 127 fractional transitions? Does it approach the amount of energy that might be released by, say, a neutron decaying back into a proton, electron, and EM radiation? The reason I ask this is I have often wondered WHERE the source of all this released hydrino energy comes from. Yes, yes, I know it's supposed to come from the collapsing state of the electron's orbital shell as it finds a new "ground" state. But here's my point: A free standing neutron has a half life of approximately 11 minutes, give or take a minute. As I understand it the neutron eventually "decays" back into a proton by releasing an electron along with some EM radiation. That would mean WE'RE RIGHT BACK TO WHERE WE STARTED IN THE FIRST PLACE! That would mean the entire amount of energy extracted from a hydrogen atom could be repeated infinitely as a typical hydrogen atom is transformed into hydrino, and then into neutron, and then finally as it decays back into a proton - electron pair (plus some EM radiation) to make another hydrogen atom. There is something disturbingly circuitous about the endless production of energy and/or the transformation of matter. I realize this transformation may to some extent resemble a typical Feynman chart where subatomic particles are simply transformed from one particle classification into another - but we're talking about the behavior of ATOMS here, not the transcendent nature sub-atomic particles. This transformational process reminds me of the Escher's wood block prints, specifically his optical illusion carvings where we witness a figure eternally walking UP on a closed looped stairway, or a perpetual waterfall that self-feeds its own water source. The only way I have been able to rationalize this eternal circuitous extraction of energy would be if our universe is embedded within a greater multi-dimensional universe where we are constantly extracting energy from a greater reservoir elsewhere. (And on that point, I'm not sure I'd like to be on the other end of the stick!) I may be wrong on this point, but I suspect Dr. Mills CQM theories would not subscribe to this kind of a super-universe construct as the explanation as to where all this seemingly limitless energy would come from. Mr. Carrell. Can you or anyone else shed any light on this conundrum? Regards, Steven Vincent Johnson www.OrionWorks.com
