Here's a little problem for the QED experts. :) Calculate the expectation value of the energy associated with the *spin* angular momentum of the electron in the ground state of the Hydrogen atom. (Actual calculation please, not just a bland statement of value). Regards, Robin van Spaandonk Robin, No clue - but then again I am neither your QED expert nor did I stay in a Holiday Inn last night ... My intuition tells me that you are trying to link the (emitted) excess energy from hydrino shrinkage to charge diminution, no? This is not to say that you got it wrong, but maybe Hans got it partly right ;-) Which is to say that attempts to link the net charge density with the magnetic moment density are bound to fail, even in Minkowski space... Try it in 6-D Chen-space, with 3 spatial and 3 time dimensions - and it might work out without 137c or 68.5c showing up... or better yet, perhaps the shrinking electron is the red herring in this picture (to use an off-color pun)? i.e. red... as in color charge ... and correspondingly, the excess energy is actually coming from the nucleus - i.e. from quark color charge changes, in QCD? IOW the subatomic factor which would allow for redundancy in ground states is that the proton's quarks undergo color charge change... how bizarre is that? QCD is a gauge theory, and of a particular gauge group where the local symmetry could be defined partly by a different time dimension ... or not. Maybe I should make that reservation now, as I am long overdue for a holiday, but how do you chose the date you will be arriving in 6-D? Jones
