A New Gut Theory

The current data on a grand unified theory (GUT) is that gravity is the
only force that can not be unified. However, I would like to propose a
theory that unifies gravity and electro-magnetic force fields while
eliminating the strong and weak forces. This then would result in only
one force which would be the electromagnetic (EMF) with its dual nature
and which we know exists and thoroughly understand.

The reason for this is simple. Gravity and EMF have two pronounced similarities. They both extend to infinity and are inversely proportional to the square of the distances from their sources. A recent similarity was announced that they both have the same velocities. therefore, there are now three similarities.

On the other hand, the other two forces which are the strong and weak, have no similarities with any other forces.

Now if the attraction component of the EMF is slightly greater than the
repulsion component, by about 10^-36, this would create a
gravitational effect equal to the force of gravity (1).
And the strong and weak nuclear forces? It just does not seem probable
that a force that is 137 times stronger that the EMF should have such a
short range as 10^-15 meters. This is the diameter of one nucleon
(proton or neutron). Another fact to discredit the strong force is the
lack of atomic mass numbers (protons plus neutrons) 5 and 8 (2). Also,
atomic mass number 6 and 5 if it existed, would have stronger binding
forces within their nuclei than atomic mass number 4 (the helium
nucleus) that has the strongest binding force within the low mass
range.

I was unable to transfer my drawings of how the 'atomic mass numbers'
(AMN) 5and 6 would differ in binding power in comparison to the helium nucleus that has 6 contact points.
In the 5 nucleon nucleus, there would be eight contact plus about one half This would have to be a stronger bound nucleus than the helium nucleus. In the atomic mass number 6 nucleus, there would be twelve contact points that should be bound much more strongly than the helium nucleus. If the strong force is real, then these discrepancies would not exist since the SF acts as a binding force only.

Then there is the atomic mass patterns that reflect stability in the
nuclei referred to as the magic numbers. There is also the spectral
characteristics of these nuclei that exhibit quantum effects that a
gravitational type of force (which is the nature of the strong force)
would not possess (3).
If the SF does not exist, then what is the binding force within these nuclei?

In the centers of the stars, where the particles are compressed to extremely close proximaties where the electrons have very high velocities and bypass the protons in 'open' orbital passages to cause the protons to spin at very rates, my theory then is that the protons within these central regions spin at extremely high velocities where the outer portions approach closely to the velocity of light and coupled with their high permeability to magnetic fields because of their high mass density, would create the strong binding force needed to hold 2 protons together with an electron in between for added binding to create the SF to bind the 'deuteron' together. These deuterons, acting as 'bi-polar' bar magnets will automatically orient themsrlves to clamp together to form a hellium nucleus,

The orientation of the magnetic fields and the direction of spin of these particles and portions of nuclei, could account for the missing mass numbers 5 and 8 as well as all the other characteristics.

famous physicist, had the same idea at the beginning of this century.
