Meulenberg is a proponent of H* as a pathway to producing excess heat through cold fusion . Therefore in addition to showing they can exist, he also has to ensure that they have the requisite properties which facilitate cold fusion . An interesting criticism arose in recent years is that if they do exist as a legitimate solution to the dirac equation then they will have a negative energy. If this is true it would undermine their usefulness as a pathway to CF. In the paper_Research Article Advance on Electron Deep Orbits of the Hydrogen Atom _ (J. Condensed Matter Nucl. Sci. 24 (2017) he and Paillet argue with some algebra that the sign of the energy solution should be positive rather than negative. I don`t know if their argument is sound or not, but they do point out that the negative solution is normally regarded as physically meaningless. Since my appreciation of H* does not depend on their usefulness in explaining CF, I am willing to accept that a negative energy solution is the correct solution, so the next issue is to work out the implications. A similar situation arose 90 years ago when Dirac was faced with a negative kinetic energy solution to his equation. He could have dismissed it as unphysical, but instead he interpreted the solution in such a way that led him to propose the existence of a new particle...the positron.
