Coherent Electrodynamic Processes in Solid Molecular Hydrogen

The many experimental puzzles of solid hydrogen, that seem to defy the generally accepted view of condensed matter, are shown to be a rather straightforward consequence of a new approach to condensed matter physics, that takes into account the coherent electrodynamic processes, predicted by Quantum ElectroDynamics (QED) that have been so far overlooked. As a consequence, a revision of the present view, based on electrostatic forces only, is called for.
