Have you ever heard >if the word 'isotope'? No, Ralph, you don't get to lie that way, Ralph Malcolm. Ralph, you wrote "hydrogen", not "deuterium", Ralph Malcolm Rabbidge. Ralph, as you know, deuterium is only 0.0115% of natural hydrogen on earth, Ralph, so an ionized hydrogen atom is simply going to be a proton more than 99.9% of the time, Liar Ralph Rabbidge.
