Vast computational richness from swapping one proton

I think wikipedia says that liquid elements have their electrons nearer the nucleus causing them to move more per moment, causing liquidness. Thus gallium at meltpoint apparently goes through vastly more quantum transitions than say either of its periodic table neighbors Zinc or Germanium.

What I am wondering is if Zinc or Germanium undergo radioactive change to become Gallium, what is the number of increased quantum transitions produced, also if you look at the age of the universe at background temp, what amount of energy does that number of quantum transitions represent at background radiation temperature. Is it a very very large amount of energy? Perhaps more than E from E=MC^2 of one proton.

It looks to me like just transmuting an element could create orders of magnitude more "information processing (quantum) events" which at currently thought of energy minima each, would be much larger than the amount of energy represented with e=mc^2. Its not that radical a statement as it kind of says "if you recharged a rechargeable battery a few quadrillion times, it eventually gives more energy than used to make it" yet I am wondering what this says about Shannon information theory if apparently you can get more computational space than has ever been purposefully used just swapping out 1 neutron or proton to change "habitual quantum richness" with time

I have no idea what you are talking about. Have you read the PF Rules on Overly Speculative Posts?
 
From the BCS theory of superconductivity is well known that the superfluid density smoothly decreases with increasing temperature. Annihilated superfluid carriers become normal and lose their momenta on lattice atoms. So if we induce a persistent supercurrent in a ring below Tc and after that slowly increase the temperature, we must observe a decrease in the actual supercurrent, because the density of electron pairs and total supercurrent momentum decrease. However, this supercurrent...
Hi. I have got question as in title. How can idea of instantaneous dipole moment for atoms like, for example hydrogen be consistent with idea of orbitals? At my level of knowledge London dispersion forces are derived taking into account Bohr model of atom. But we know today that this model is not correct. If it would be correct I understand that at each time electron is at some point at radius at some angle and there is dipole moment at this time from nucleus to electron at orbit. But how...
