To put my relativistic spin on this I would say the coulomb barrier exerts less
of a barrier to an approaching proton that is offset on the time axis - In my
working man's model we all share the fabric of space time where our electrons
approach the surface of this space fabric while the heavier nucleus falls
faster thru time and forms a micro gravity well but we all remain contained in
a sort of 3D ant farm unable to perceive time as an axis even while gamma is
telling us that an accelerated twin is viewing part of our time axis as spatial
and likewise we are seeing part of his spatial axis as temporal resulting in
contraction. Normally this is a don't care when you are talking negative
dilation of an object which is physically isolated approaching C on the spatial
axis but In the case of catalysts with Casimir geometry you are talking about
positive dilation in an environment that is relatively stationary and occupied
with pressurized hydrogen at many different fractional values dependent on
immediate surroundings and bond states. IMHO this is what Naudts meant when he
suggested the hydrino is actually relativistic hydrogen. I have extended
Naudts premise to a relativistic interpretation of Casimir effect and an
asymmetry for atoms translating between different levels of Casimir force based
on their bond state. IMHO fractional atoms translate freely to different
suppression levels while molecules and compounds can oppose the translation
with a couple results... one of course is my favorite candidate for ZPE gain in
that you can discount the energy needed to disassociate the molecule to less
than the energy gained when the atoms reform a molecule [effectively harnessing
random zitter - gas motion to drive the molecule to different suppression
values], The other is a possible "relativistic screen" where the fractional
molecule is able to maintain it's equivalent negative acceleration /orientation
by virtue of a bond state that is refusing to let the atoms translate freely -
colliding with an atom in a different inertial frame, say an h2/16 colliding
with an h1/4 - My point is that the same sort of temporal/spatial trade offs we
see for the twin paradox should be at work here also such that the columbic
barrier should be discounted by the same sort of Pythagorean relationship we
derived for gamma. Perhaps a h2/137 colliding with an h1 would represent a full
90 degrees. Anyway, my thought is the further apart the fractional values the
less of the barrier they will perceive and the more their time quanta will
differ. Physically I see the nucleus further displaced from our plane in a
deeper and deeper well as you approach 1/137 but all the wells surface into our
common plane. http://www.garrityhvac.com/gwell.gif
