Clearly Dr. Va'vra has not given up his belief in the existence of the DDL
states, as his 2013 paper is proposing DDL as a possible explanation for
the galactic 511keV signal. He says in this paper that the previous
calculations were based on the QM formulations of the 1920's and that the
problem should be solved using modern QED. For this, he refers to Dr.
James Vary (Iowa State University) who is apparently continuing the DDL
work with his graduate students. Apparently Dr. Vary also checked the DDL
work done by Dr. Va'vra and found no errors.
Here are some interesting points I have noted from reading these DDL papers:
- The Shrodinger equation is not a relativistic model. It doesn't
predict the DDL states and it is not entirely accurate even in the ground
state due to relativistic effects not being included. The slower the
electron is traveling (larger radius states), the more accurate its
solution is.
- The Klein-Gordon equation (KG) added special relativistic effects to
the model, but not spin. The KG equation predicts a single DDL state that
is very about 350 Fermi equivalent Bohr radius (the normal ground state
hydrogen is 52,900 Fermi, and a muon orbit would be about 250 Fermi).
- The Dirac equation includes both special relativity and spin. Dr.
Va'vra's solutions to the Dirac equation predict many DDL levels. These
levels are solutions to the "S-" portion of the equation normally discarded
because conventional formulations predicts an infinity at r=0 because a
point source is presumed for the nucleus. This is solved by re-formulating
the problem with a distributed charge source model for the nucleus. The
resulting solution predicts the normal hydrogen states more accurately than
the Shrodinger and KG equations. The Dirac DDL solutions include states
with orbits less than 300 Fermi.
- None of these equations model the effects of the 2-body mass problem.
It is well known that the Earth and the Sun orbit around the common center
of mass and the Earth causes the Sun to wobble in its position. This
effect is not accounted for in any of these equations.
- These DDL states appear to not have enough angular momentum to create
or absorb a photon [Meulenberg]. So, it becomes problematic for how energy
is transferred into or out of an atom to change DDL states. With this
being the case, an auxiliary atom or coupled system is needed that can
exchange energy. This is a problem for detection of DDL states.
- The DDL atom is also so small, it behaves more like a quasi-neutron
and has a very low reaction cross-section. It will readily pass through
containers.
- Most agree that if two DDL hydrogen isotope atoms form a DDL molecule,
they will fuse immediately (within 10's of picoseconds).
