After recent correspondence I realized a much simpler analogy without invoking time dilation or anything more exotic than f/h. Strong Catalytic action alone could Tear apart a f/h molecule if the confinement geometry is selected to impede the high mobility of f/h molecules while f/h atoms are much less impeded and continue to accelerate. An abrupt change in Casimir force is known to create a catalyst (see Peng Chen @ <http://www.physorg.com/news159199255.html> Cornell), If the abrupt change is sufficiently large it can tear apart the molecule which can not react as fast the atoms it is holding together, like 2 water tubers in a turbulent mountain stream. As soon as the white water subsides the tubing partners can rejoin, In the case of f/h the 2 atoms have nature pushing them back together and giving off a photon until the next patch of white water (abrupt catalytic action) tears them apart again. There is no violation of CoE because you have 2 different forces in play, the desire for lowest energy state is constant but can be briefly overcome at abrupt changes in geometry/casimir force. The Casimir field is therefore not a steady state at the mesoscopic scale and we can use it to create a pulsating current of gas atoms / molecules in catalytic action. The covalent bond becomes a simple rectifier that releases heat energy in the form of a photon each time these forces cycle.
