In fact, mass determination of hydrogen, from various labs in various
countries varies all over the place.
You are saying the mass varies, and this is not an
instrument artifact? As Jon Stewart says, I didn't see that coming.
Now I know how people felt when isotopes were discovered.
The accepted value for mass of a proton is 938.272013 MeV, but that value
(in my hypothesis) is an average of many protons in many situations. Over
the years, measurements made in different countries and a different times
with different instruments have returned different values (close but
different). Some of that is because there can be variation in the feed
stock, aside from the instrumentation. In short, hydrogen from natural gas
may vary slightly in mass compared to hydrogen from electrolysis of
rainwater. This might be the result of the bedrock from which the methane
was stored for millions of years having Uranium content which pumped up the
non-quark bosons (gluons pions etc).The major hypothesis detail is that the more than half of the proton mass is not quantized, and some of that can be extracted by Coulomb repulsion at close range in IRH (inverted Rydberg hydrogen which is another name for dense hydrogen) - resulting in very fast protons, but only so long there is a usable "overage" in mass which does not allow quark dispersal. The hypothesis is falsifiable. In short - the average mass can vary to the extent of a fractional percent as either "overage" or "deficit" in various sources of hydrogen (say from 937 MeV to 940 MeV). At best, the "known value" of mass becomes what is really an "average" based on whatever the most advanced current measurement technique is being used - before recalibration. Everyone recalibrates, as an expedient and so as not to be embarrassed by their instruments. The overage which is "in play" in this hypothesis is the mystery energy source for Ni-H reactions, whether they be from Mills, Rossi, DGT, Piantelli, Celani, or Thermacore. It is technically nuclear energy, since it comes from a nucleus - but it does not result in rearrangement of the proton nor a new element. Jones
