Strong electromagnetic forces inside the atom hold its nucleus together. When the forcesare barely strong enough, a particle may escape the nucleus. By modeling the nucleusaccording to the proposals of Lucas [1, 2] and Bergman [3, 4], researchers Boudreaux 1 and Baxter 2 have explained and predicted the time required for half the nuclei in specific isotopic species to undergo radioactive decay.[5] Nuclear Forces. Protons give the nucleus of an atom a net positive charge. So, whydoesn’t the nucleus explode? Nuclear stability is possible because the particles in thenucleus are each tiny magnets, and magnets can be arranged to attract one another.When the particles inside the nucleus have specific locations, the forces from electricalcharge can be in balance with the magnetic forces from moving charge. But if thelocation of even one particle is sufficiently changed, the entire nucleus can becomeunstable.
