-----Original Message----- From: [email protected] > If my understanding is correct, then I don't see how this would make it more effective in nucleating condensation of protons, because the "extra" mass is not collocated with the original electron, so it's not as though it's actually a heavy electron that can by analogy substitute for a negative muon.
It is true that the verbalization is misleading, based on underlying assumptions. The same is true for "deflated". A term that has also been used is "heavy quasiparticle" or "heavy fermion." Even the "heavy" part is unclear. Heavy compared to what? There is also some relevance to Ken Shoulder's EVO concept, in that there is an appearance of what looks like "negatively charged space" which is not as mutually repulsive as real electrons would be. Could the EVO be the corresponding condition that exists in a vacuum, where no protons are available? The "gluball" is another term which seems strangely applicable. At any rate, in describing IRH or hydrogen clusters, there is an emerging picture of a real phenomenon where lots of protons appears to be nucleated and bonded by "something" similar to electrons but exotic in other ways .
