I was thinking about LASERS (Light amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation) and it occurred to me that the notion of cooling radiation is already present in quantum theory, but it is disguised as "stimulated emission" in order to respect the mid 19th century doctrine that cooling radiation is nothing more than a fairy tale.
Now if energy levels below the ground state exist for a hydrogen atom then it may be possible to stimulate the electron-proton pair into this hypo-state, by exposing them to radiation which corresponds to the energy of the photon the pair is expected to release.
