What is a hydrino?

• A hydrogen atom can only exist in a discrete set of energy states. These states are labeled by the quantum number n. The values of n are in the range of integers from 1 to a number which corresponds to the electron’s ionization energy. The lowest of these states, n=1, is called the ground state. This is the lowest energy that an atom can have as generally understood. Transitions between states are typically effected by the emission or absorption of photons with energies corresponding to the differences between the atomic quantum energy states. Mills’ equation of the hydrogen atom predicts the stability of atoms with energy levels that correspond to 1/n electron energies. Such atoms are reduced in size and energy with respect to the ground state (n=1) hydrogen atom (thus the popular term “shrunken hydrogen”). These 1/n states cannot be reached by normal photon absorption/emission processes, but may be generated by collisions with a catalyst which can resonantly absorb a quantum of ene
