-----Original Message----- From: [email protected] > Your understanding of the term "hole" is not correct. A hole is not a place where electrons are missing. It is a place into which energy can be dumped. And energy can be dumped when electrons are *present*, because dumping the energy into the neutral atom removes the electrons from the atom, i.e. causes the atom to become ionized.
Well, once again I will dissent, since we have had this discussion before. It is your understanding of the fractionalization mechanism that is not logical. What you are describing is simple ionization of the catalyst, and this must precede, not cause, orbital reduction. There is no energy to dump until after the redundancy has completed, and Mills has clearly stated that the neutral atom is the hydrogen - not the catalyst. Jones
