Strong interactions of weakly bound particles.
The strongest interactions in physics are considered to be the internuclear interactions that hold nucleons (protons and neutrons) in the nucleus. The nucleus, of course, tends to disintegrate, since it consists of single-charged protons, which, according to Coulomb’s law, must repel each other with terrible force, and neutral neutrons. Japanese physicist Hideki Yukawa (a student of another talented Japanese physicist Hantaro Nagaoka) proposed a model for such mutual retention of repulsive protons:
Exchange interactions of two protons by a meson.
The point is simple:
One proton loses a meson, without which it cannot “live”, well, in any way, The other proton captures it for the shortest time, and then sends the tidbit to its neighbor again. Since both mesons cannot exist for more or less a long time without THIS, the exchange must be at a certain minimum distance of protons from each other and this exchange takes place in the shortest possible time, which is still “not fatal” for each proton. A proton outside the nucleus can exist for an arbitrarily long time.
In his hypothesis, Yukawa proceeded from another, equally ridiculous hypothesis: De, Coulomb, that is, electromagnetic interactions between electrically infected particles, are also some kind of exchange interactions, but here the exchange is carried out using photons, that is, portions of the energy of the electromagnetic field. These photons emit two particles and their mutual attraction or repulsion occurs. Well, since nuclear forces are 137 times stronger than electromagnetic ones, then the “photons” of the particles that ensure THEIR mutual attraction must also be more massive than photons. One might think that high-energy gamma quanta are less “massive” than these mesons!
And we found such particles – Pi mesons!
Delirium sits on delirium and drives with delirium!
If protons exchange “virtual” mesons so easily (virtual ones are a pseudoscientific, but very meaningful and thoughtful–looking name for a Possible, Random, Probable meson), then protons easily lose the mesons they need so much for normal existence. If an atom loses its external electrons, loosely bound to the nucleus, then it becomes an ion and no more! If it does, then similarly, nothing catastrophic happens here. And protons, which easily lose or acquire mesons, for some reason cannot live without them! So, DO NOT LOSE and bind these “virtual mesons” strongly so that they do not radiate anywhere!
But let’s also consider the original Brel idea of electromagnetic interactions.
Let’s conduct such a thought experiment,
A certain charged particle is moving. In the laboratory reference frame relative to which it moves, magnetometers will register the presence of a magnetic field (since an electrically charged particle moves at some speed relative to our laboratory reference frame.)
Let’s surround this moving particle with a certain sphere of the most sensitive magnetometers, which, of course, moves with it, that is, these magnetometers are STATIONARY relative to the moving particle. It is clear that they will not fix any magnetic field! But our laboratory magnetometer WILL register the magnetic field of a moving particle.
The question is, if this interaction is caused by certain photons emitted by a particle, then why will the sphere of magnetometers not register them, these photons, but in a resting laboratory magnetometer. WHAT do these photons of the magnetic field pass through to our magnetometer, if not through the sphere of moving magnetometers??? If they pass through the sphere, magnetometers should “Notice” it and register them. If they do NOT pass through the sphere, then through what fantastic nth dimension do they enter our stationary magnetometer???
Already this simple one shows the absurdity of the idea of exchanging either photons or mesons.
So:
If protons in the nucleus exchange mesons, then the mesons are WEAKLY bound to them and cannot provide strong attraction in any way.
If they are strongly bound to protons, then no exchange of them will occur at all.
And what do electrically neutral neutrons exchange, which consist of a proton and an electron, which, in turn, is 1836 times larger in volume than a proton and cannot “fit” in a small nucleus at all.
The idea of particle exchange is fundamentally flawed in relation to SUCH cases.
(We are NOT talking here about chemical reactions of electron exchange, of the crystalline and other bonds of atoms with each other)
But this nonsense of a drunken mare has been UNIVERSALLY RECOGNIZED AND ACCEPTED in modern physics for almost a hundred years!
Faciant meliora potentes.
