Default Stephen Hawking's Interstellar Spaceship Proposal (And More!)

on. Positronium is not an exact analogue of a hydrogen atom since
it consists of an electron and a positron (anti-electron) orbiting each

massive proton. The highly advanced theory of quantum electrodynamics (QED)
mentioned in the article describes how these states are stable or unstable.


So the difference is made only by higher mass where
the positive charge is, something as lame as just
gravity at that scale, or is it much more involved
having to do with what "mass" itself is?
