Interesting story in New Scientist magazine this week - about the surprisingly intense plasma which can be made by placing two grapes side-by-side in a microwave oven. The energy expressed in this simple experiment defies logic since with only a single grape - there is a much smaller steam explosion and no plasma. The reason involves directed energy localization.
The metaphor could apply to two atoms of dense hydrogen - UDH irradiated by a laser - which then annihilate. They do not fuse but instead are turned into "quark soup" - eventually into muons. Unless the atoms are very close, the strange MO and results of the Holmlid effect would not happen - thus there must be dense hydrogen present.
