This is not true. The strong, weak, and electromagnetic forces are all described by the same phyiscal structure (quantum field theory). The strong forces is just an extension of the electromagnetic force to an interaction between 3 objects.

[quotq]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). [/quote]

Except this force would be equal the proton density of matter, not the mass. Since neutrons are massive, this theory is broken.

Quote:
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.
You seem to be thinking of the strong force as some force that binds nucleons which touch. You use this to claim that if 6 and 5 existed it would have stronger binding than helium. However, this is not at all how the strong force works, and stability of nuclear matter is much more complicated. See, for instance, t-Hooft or Rob Leigh's work on meson spectra.

Quote:
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).
The strong force is not at all a gravitational force!

I suggest learning a little of the theory of the strong force before you try to rewrite the books.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
