That's really not what's going on -- both in general and specifically in my case.
Having been provoked by an accusation directed at me similar to the big oil conpiracy accusation you cited above, I looked more closely at the details of Mills' hydrino theory in which he claimed that states of the hydrogen atom below the ground state exist. When reading Randy Mills' book on Classical Quantum Mechanics, I found that a central postulate deals with the principle quantum number being less than one, i.e., integer fractions 1/2, 1/3, 1/4,... 1/137.
In particular, as I pointed out in a previous post, when discussing the principle quantum, n, for the solution to the Schrödinger equation, Mills states:
In the face of such a statement, I found that I had to contemplate what I thought I knew about the mathematics intrinsic to the solution of the Schrödinger equation in 3-D spherical coordinates for a hydrogen atom. I decided I knew that the solution arises out of the separation of variables technique. This technique poses a solution in a form containing the product of several independent functions, one of those being a function solely in terms of the independent variable for radial postion. The solution for this radial function is an infinite series involving Laguerre functions. Mathematically speaking, n is just the number of each term in the series. When terms are numbered, integers are used to number them. That's the way we count. Thus, for the simplest of reasons, n has to be an integer. The number, n, is subsequently interpreted to have a physical meaning, and is named the principle quantum number. This is an underlying "weakness" of all mathematical models; i.e., purely mathematical terms have to be interpreted to have a physical meaning.
When I examined the details of Mills' work, I found that just like the QM theory solution to the Schrödinger equation: 1) Mills' CQM theory solution to the classical wave equation is based on the mathematical technique known as separation of variables, 2) one of those functions depends solely of the independent variable for radial location and 3) the solution for this radial function is an infinite series forcing, n, the number of each term in the series, to be an integral.
This means that Mill's MATHEMATICAL MODEL for one-electron atoms suffers the same sort of underlying weaknesses of all mathematical models; i.e., purely mathematical terms (n in this case) have to be interpreted to have a physical meaning (interpretted to be the principle quantum number in this case). For the simplest of mathemaical reasons, n has to be an integer in Mills' CQM theory solution to the classical wave equation. Thus, it is impossible for Mills' principle quantum number, n, to take on fractional values. Therefore the hydrino states below the ground state are impossible (since they arise for fractional values of n).
