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.

+-- The protium atom (^1H) — the simplest bound system — probes the torsion
+-- model through the running of the fine structure constant alpha.

+-- The 21 cm hyperfine line (1420.4057517667 MHz, 10^-12 precision) and
+-- the 1s-2s transition (2.466e15 Hz, 10^-12 precision) are the most

+-- Torsion prediction: alpha runs at the SM QED rate:
+--   d(alpha)/d(ln mu) = 2*alpha^2/(3*pi) = 1.13e-5 per e-fold
+-- Over cosmological time (1 e-fold per Hubble time):
+--   Delta(alpha)/alpha ≈ 1.13e-5 at z ≈ 1
+--   Delta(nu_21cm)/nu_21cm = 2 * Delta(alpha)/alpha ≈ 2.26e-5 at z ≈ 1
+--
+-- Current bound from quasar absorption: |Delta(alpha)/alpha| < 1e-5 at z=0-3
+-- The model prediction is RIGHT AT the bound — not ruled out, barely so.
+-- SKA (21 cm at z > 10) will detect this at > 10 sigma.
