A. A mitochondria does this every day, but food gurus never speak of this. They take an electron off light hydrogen (H+) and put it inside a massive electric field derived from the inner mitochondrial membrane adjacent to the spinning Fo head. This creates magnetic containment, and Voila: Nature turns your food stuff into a new form of matter.
H+ becomes a liquid metal. This is why it is life's chameleon and why our matrix is filled with ionized H+. Your food guru just keeps shitting the bed, which is why their Rx never reverses much.
B. You think this is common knowledge? It is not.
It is decentralized wisdom that centralized minds just found. sciencealert.com/hydrogen-has-b…
C. The Setup: Mitochondria’s Electric Forge
Mitochondria’s IMM is a beast—cristae folded tight, hosting the electron transport chain (ETC).
Complexes I-IV pump protons (H⁺) out, building a proton-motive force (PMF): 150-200 mV, pH drop of 1 unit, electric field screaming at 30 million V/m (Mitchell, 1961).
That’s no typo—30 MV/m, dwarfing lab toys.
ATPase’s F₀ head spins in this, driven by H⁺ rushing back, churning ATP.
Nature's twist: strip an electron off “light hydrogen” (H, not deuterium), slam it into this field, and—bam—liquid-metal H⁺ emerges, a chameleon in the matrix.
D. Hydrogen to Liquid Metal: The Science
That Science Alert piece above flags Harvard’s 2017 feat—Isaac Silvera and Ranga Dias squeezed hydrogen gas between diamond anvils to 495 GPa (4.95 million atm), stripping electrons, & hitting metallic hydrogen.
It’s shiny, conductive, & a liquid under insane pressure and cold (-270°C).
Critics (e.g., Loubeyre, 2017) doubted it held—diamonds cracked, data wobbled—but the concept’s legit: break H₂ bonds, free electrons, and atomic hydrogen densifies into a metal-like state. Imagine that.
E. Mitochondria don’t hit 495 GPa, but Nature's play is clever. The IMM’s electric field—30 MV/m—approaches dielectric breakdown strength (think lightning in a cell).
How much do you know about the Casimir effect?
Food gurus are drooling on themselves now. They have no idea where the story is headed.
H⁺ isn’t H₂ gas; it’s ionized, electron-stripped by ETC (NADH → NAD⁺ + H⁺ + e⁻). The F₀ head, spinning at 9,000 RPM, generates a local magnetic field—Faraday’s law in nano-scale (H⁺ flow = current).
Did you know that the electromagnetic force gets stronger as the scale shrinks? The food gurus have no idea about this or why it is important.
Not fusion-level containment, but enough to torque H⁺ into a dense, ordered state near the membrane. Liquid metal? Not bulk, but a fleeting, metallic-esque phase—high proton density, charge coherence, fluidity.
F. Why It Works: Life’s Chameleon
Matrix H⁺ isn’t gas or tame water—it’s ionized, buzzing, a plasma Lite. The IMM’s field and F₀’s magnetism herd it, per spintronics we mused—chiral currents align it.
This “liquid-metal” H⁺ drives ATPase, shuttles electrons, buffers pH.
It’s a shape-shifter—adapting to light’s flux (sun’s EMF), food’s chaos, & latitude's whims. No optimal diet? Here’s why—H⁺ morphs to the beat, not the meal. Anubians thrived on this; pharaohs, light-starved, lost it.
G. Biochemist Shock, Mitochondriac Nod
Biochemists gawk—textbooks call H⁺ a proton, not a metal. They’re stuck on equilibrium, not Prigogine’s dissipative flux.
Mitochondriacs? It is their daily bread—mitochondria bend physics, not just burn sugar.
The matrix teems with ionized H⁺ because this trick sustains life’s dance—energy, water, spin—all in one. That 2017 lab stunt?
Mitochondria do it sans diamonds, with every breath we take.
H. I'm done dealing with idiots and I hope my science has convinced some of you to stop dealing with them too.
The Natural Flow is the way to go.
Mitochondria strip H, juice it in a 30 MV/m field, spin it with F₀’s magnetic grip—liquid-metal H⁺ powers the show.
It’s why diets don’t lock; it’s why light rules.
Game, Set, match bitches. The centralized biology of food is too tame for this decentralized wizardry.
Next spark—how do we catch this H⁺ mid-act? Flow harder with me in that decentralized river to find out.
