* What you describe is certainly an interesting and scary proposition -
that protons could be sheared or broken apart. However, it is hard to imagine
a number of thing in this hypothesis and that of Olafssen/Holmlid. First of
all, where did the potential energy come from to put two hydrogen nuclei in
2.3pm proximity?
My view on this differs from Holmlid and incorporates Lawandy’s view. For the
sake of argument, consider that SPP are the formative cause of densification.
They form a magnetic vortex on a surface between a conductor (not necessarily a
metal) and a dielectric, and if hydrogen is also there, the H orbitals become
entrained in the catalyst, powering the ring current and leaving Cooper pairs
of protons as the end product, which can then further group into clusters. The
hexagonal structure of hematite is critical.
Yes, this requires energy from a flux of photons and is lossy. So the
cumulative photons would supply the energy of densification. Any excess comes
later.
* Second, SPP is an electron resonance at a metal/dielectric interface,
but the electrons themselves are in the metal (AFIK). How would these
electrons that are in the metal (resonant in SPP or not) be complicit in a
UDD/UDH breakup?
IMO the electrons appear as ring current around the hexagon structure of iron
oxide in the same way that electrons appear around the hexagonal ring of
graphene oxide. A “local conductor” has substituted for the metal of the normal
SPP and that is hematite, which fills both roles – dielectric and local
conductor.
* Thirdly, why would UDD/UDH be stable?
Now that is a big mystery. Unlike metallic hydrogen, which is only stable so
long as high pressure is applied and maintained, and which is far less dense
than UDH, what we are probably seeing is a new isomer of metallic hydrogen
which does not require continuous pressure.
Holmlid is the expert but his view changes over time and he is probably
incorrect on some points. Same with Miley, Lawandy, Mills, Winterberg, Hora,
Olafsson and everyone else who comes into this field with their own background
and preconceived notions.
IMO – everyone can cherry pick up to the point that a defining experiment comes
along and this may come from an unexpected source, maybe one of Holmlid’s
students… who knows? Thankfully there does seem to be a cadre of younger
researchers, mostly Nordic, getting involved in this R&D.
