tritium is even heavier water.

Technically, the "light water" is just an oxide ion: an oxygen atom with two extra electrons, filling its second electron energy level.

Mmm. Delicious free hydrogen radicals. So refreshing. Not harmful at all.

But if you really want "light water", may I suggest replacing all 10 necessary protons with anti-muons? It won't last long*, but it would reduce the theoretical mass of the molecule down to less than 1/8th**

And the resulting nuclear explosion would be a great topic for an xkcd What-If.

*: Muonium is a thing. It's "hydrogen" made from an anti-muon nucleus and an electron orbiting it. It decays as the muon does unless there's some kind of matter-antimatter annihilation in which case it's a bit more vigorous. I am not sure whether you can put anti-muons in a nucleus along with regular neutrons though. No harm in trying, right?

**: Excluding quantum weirdness affecting the mass in other ways.
