The discoverers thought H² would be of no commercial use. It would give water different spectral color, new physical properties, but would not affect the taste. But since its nucleus is the simplest yet found consisting of more than one particle it would be a great aid in the study of nuclei, might add to data on the cosmic ray which Dr. Robert Andrews Millikan thinks is the energy re-leased by the building...
