The Santilli-Shillady orbits, the oo-shaped orbits, go beyond a way of speaking, they are a condition for the movement of the electron pair. This limitation in movement could be present in other states of electron pairs, such as the Cooper pairs of superconductivity, mainly in high Tc Superconductivity, for example.
