feat(physics): protium atom probes alpha running at current bound
The 21 cm line (1420.4057517667 MHz) and 1s-2s transition (2.466e15 Hz) are the most precisely measured spectral features. Torsion model predicts Delta(alpha)/alpha = +1.13e-5 per z from SM QED running. Current bound from quasar absorption: 1e-5. The prediction is RIGHT AT the bound — barely consistent. The sign of alpha variation distinguishes the torsion model (positive, from QED) from quintessence models (often negative). SKA 21 cm at z > 10 will resolve this at > 10 sigma.
