Contribution

It provides a scientific critique exposing errors and contradictions in the reviewed claims about ultradense hydrogen and Rydberg matter.

Findings

Identifies violations of conservation laws.

Highlights fundamental errors in quantum mechanical treatment.

Challenges the validity of claims about ultradense hydrogen.

Abstract

The article by Holmlid and Zeiner-Gundersen (2019, Physica Scripta, vol. 94, 075005) contains a number of claims that explicitly or implicitly contradict fundamental knowledge of modern science. Some can only be true if long held conservation laws are broken. One such is baryon number conservation. A second fatal mistake is the treatment of the structure of molecules that disregard fundamental quantum mechanical aspects, such as the concept of kinetic energy operators and the Heisenberg indeterminacy relations.
