'Lo FHU --

I suppose my first objection to all this would focus
upon the mass difference between the proton and
the electron. Since a proton is 1836 times more
massive than an electron (and so an antielectron as
well), how can a proton be made of just three of
these, two positrons and an electron?

Next, i suppose i might find some solace in the
whole idea if you had stated that there are actually
hundreds and hundreds of electrons and positrons
that make up a proton. However, you'd be going
up against that even number, 1836, again. There
would have to be an even number of antielectrons
and an even number of electrons, which might
work well for neutrons, but not for protons. (IIRC,
a neutron is just a bit more than two electron
masses larger than a proton.) Wouldn't a proton
have to be 1837 times, or 1835 times (an odd
number of times) larger than an electron/positron?

Then in addition, it seems there would have to be
a force similar to the SNF, which works to keep
protons "glued" together in an atom's nucleus in
spite of the obvious problem of "like charges repel".
And this new force would be at work *inside* each
proton and neutron in a fashion opposite to that of
the SNF, because this force would be up against a
problem of "unlike charges attract". This new force
would have to keep the positrons and electrons at
least far enough apart to maintain equilibrium while
preventing any matter/antimatter pair from coming
together and annihilating each other.

So, if you are saying that there is another force,
with about the same power as the SNF, and yet
even more confined than the SNF, and that works
in an opposite fashion to separate electrons and
positrons within a proton or neutron, then would
this new force not cancel out the SNF altogether?

Lastly, this whole thing seems to sound to me like
the old "billiard ball" way of discussing components
of the atom. And this isn't very compatible with the
evidence that supports modern quantum mechanics,
is it?

happy days and...
starry starry nights!
