Jones, you describe the proton in a manner that reminds me of different types of coal reserves. If what you say is correct then the proton internal energy storage mechanism must have a half life measured in the billions of years. Perhaps that is true, but it sounds like a revolutionary idea. Extraction of this potential energy must be extremely difficult in nature since otherwise most of it would have been depleted over the lifetime of the universe.
A thought just occurred to me concerning the half life of the stored proton energy. A similar concept could be applied to the existence of normal hydrogen in the universe. All of it could eventually be converted into heaver elements in which case it ceases to exist, but a reaction threshold and the physical dimensions of the universe have slowed down the process to an extent that much of the original amount remains to this day, billions of years later. Do protons that were created in the first moments contain varying amounts of internal energy that can remain trapped until somehow triggered? I assume that this is what you are thinking. This is an interesting concept. Mills considers natural hydrogen as the potential source of energy as the electron is induced to move closer to the proton. You go a step further, all the way to the construction of the proton itself. Maybe both processes are available for us to tap. Both processes require that the original source somehow maintains its stored potential energy over eons.

These are real differences - not a function ofnumerical precision. Of course, quark variability places a bound but that boundis comparatively huge. Hydrogen extracted from deepold methane can have different average mass than hydrogen split from rain water.Interstellar hydrogen or solar-wind hydrogen can vary markedly from either. Thesource is important. There is no other way to accurately explain the history ofvariation in measurements. This is not aboutnumerical precision of an instrument so much as it is about unknown variables andthe past 13 billion year history of the sample.
