There are two 'almost' insurmountable problems with the suggestion
that a potassium ion can absorb a hydrino hydride and thereafter
"act" as if it were an inert gas (argon).
The biggest problem of the whole scenario is of course there is no
model for this happening in all of physics. That is to be expected
as there is no model for the hydrino in mainstream physics either,
so one has zero comprehension of what the variables of having real
hydrinos are.
BTW from the perspective of an amateur observer of the Randell
Mills' dog-and-pony show, and also a believer in the reality of
LENR, and also a believer that the two MUST be related somehow, I
am about 90% certain that the hydrino is a 'real' physical entity,
previously unrecognized by mainstream physics, but also about 95%
certain that major parts of Mills' theory are false. This is a
very difficult stance, because Mills is brilliant and
controversial and accepting only parts of his package is
considered by his 'true believers' to be heretical and by the
mainstream to be 'beyond stupid,' so it is not a comfortable
viewpoint.
Anyway, the second biggest problem of extending the implications
of the 'real' hydrino to cover other anomalies in physics, such as
"efficient radiation" of argon is the following. The suggestion
that a fraction of normal argon in our atmosphere is in fact
potassium-hydrino-hydride, where the hydrino has shrunken past a
'critical dimension' such that it cannot escape the confines of
the electron shell of the potassium ion (i.e. the molecular weight
is the same as argon and all the electron shells are filled) is
that the nucleus is radically different from argon. Of course the
electron shells determine the chemistry of any element but having
an outer shell filled "only" because the inner shells have become
host to an "interloper" is closer to science fiction, as things
now stand. Not impossible but improbable. The 'infected' atom -
sounds like a poorly scripted B-movie - and perhaps it is. After
all this is vortex.
OK. That is my setup and segue.
I mention all of that as a prelude for observation that there is
another *impossibility* in the periodic table - that being an
element which has lower molecular weight than an element preceding
it in the periodic table. Really.
In this regard, this does happen - but only once. Not quite a
singularity but almost.
As fate would have it, the only light element in periodic table
which is lower in molecular weight than the preceding element is:
ta-da ... drumroll.... you guessed it: potassium.
OK. I know K is technically not a singularity, because we have in
recent years found an artificial element in reactor fuel rods,
called neptunium, element 93 which is lighter than its
predecessor - uranium,
...but... its one heck of a coincidence, don't you think ? that
potassium is in this situation where it may somehow 'attract' the
putative hydrinohydride (of high shrinkage) "as if" it were
somehow aware that it was a bit light and needed to put on a few
picograms... <g>
Isn't it fun to get anthropomorphic on the quantum level? doesn't
it kinda remind you of Religion? or was that SciFi ?
