Binding energy discussion needs better connection to Strong interaction
[edit]This relevant statement appears abruptly without any context or explanation as to how it relates to Strong interaction: "Differences in the binding energy of the nuclear force between different nuclei power nuclear fusion and nuclear fission." Can anyone improve the article to explain how it is that typical binding energy measurements and caluclations might be related to strong interaction? (For example, does it somehow correspond to overlapping, and hence excess, Strong interaction force arising from nucleons that are sufficiently close to one another to where they now can "share" that overlapping energy, making available excess "binding" energy?)

Numerical coincidence in edit?
[edit]@Just granpa: These edits (without edit summary) introduced a number 137 that is suspiciously close to the inverse fine-structure constant, and may be a misconception. —Quondum 23:37, 5 November 2022 (UTC)
- I've dug a bit, and it is evident that this ratio is highly distance-dependent, and so this figure of 137 is nonsense. Tangentially, the whole sentence needs so much qualification that it makes little sense as stated. —Quondum 01:11, 7 November 2022 (UTC)
Needs work
[edit]I've tried to reorg a bit, creating sections for the quark-binding gluon aspect and the baryon-binding meson aspect. I think this should be highlighted more clearly, maybe with table. Many issues:
- The last paragraph of the lead is out of place.
- history is weak
- the text is redundant by repeating itself
- no discussion of experiments
- no comment on "strong interaction" vs "strong force".
- simple stuff like E=mc^2 should be included in the lead.

Quark location and quark motion
[edit]Quarks are likely to be separated by far smaller distances than a neutron diameter. Because they move 0.8 C and higher the Electromagnetic field intensity will have an intensity pulse in the direction of motion each time a quark cycles past. Let the quarks cycle in a roughly fixed pattern of two like quarks separated by the opposite sign quark with one like quark leading and one trailing. The magnetic field intensity wakes they will produce will cause magnetic curving forces that are balanced with one of the other quarks causing a curving force and the remaining causing a straightening force, true for each of the three quarks. Speed of light causes an additional barrier stabilizing the structure. Does this type of thinking open the door to electromagnetic forces being involved in quark attraction?
Also note that while a trio of quarks in a second proton sits inside the intensity wake of a first proton. The repulsion from highest intensity is towards the other proton. This would explain why at particular short distance the electromagnetic force is strong and attractive. Does this kind of thinking suggest a way that relativistic electromagnetic field forces could hold two protons together?
On a distantly related note when two wires attract an alternate theory is that the electrons seek the less dense fields behind other electrons. (To me this is far more likely than the favored theory of more dense packed protons due to relativistic shortening.) Bill field pulse (talk) 20:36, 20 January 2024 (UTC)
- High velocity quark motion is consistent with nucleonic forces becoming highly repulsive below a particular limit. It also provides a mechanism whereby electrons can never stick to a nucleus because they can't move fast enough to avoid the down quark. Bill field pulse (talk) 19:24, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
