Читать книгу The Nucleon Spin as Cause of the Strong Interaction - Helmut Albert - Страница 2

The importance attached to the strong interaction today becomes clear when one considers the current research effort. While basic research is the daily bread of scientists in physical institutes and facilities, additional projects with large research budgets are being launched. For example, the European research project "STRONG 2020," which focuses on the strong interaction in the atomic nucleus, was launched in 2019/2020. It is hoped that the results will lead to progress for fundamental physics as well as for society.

New theories and positions outside the academic community are not heard very often. But there are reasons to open up. After all, many decades have passed in which highly specialized scientists and gigantic particle accelerators have brought hardly any progress to the theory of the strong interaction. People still cling to the so-called Quantum chromodynamics, the name of which makes one think more of the description of a painting by Jackson Pollock than of an interaction between atomic building blocks. However, it would not be the first time in history that science would be subject to decades of error, as was the case, for example, with the "Phlogiston theory" in the 18th century. But in order not only to criticize, but also to make a productive contribution, I publish here a counterposition to the theory of Quantum chromodynamics. This paper partly incorporates contents of my work on checkerboard atomic structure published between 2017 and 2019.
