Simplified & Unified Picture of Nuclear Binding Energy

Abstract

In analogy with gravity and Schwarzschild interaction, the authors have suggested in their recent publications that: 1) There exists a strong elementary charge of magnitude, e_s= 4.720586603 x10^-19 C; 2) Squared ratio of electromagnetic and strong interaction charges is equal to the strong coupling constant; 3) There exists a gravitational constant associated with strong interaction,  G_s=3.329561213x10²⁸ m³ kg^-1sec^-2; and 4) There exists a gravitational constant associated with electromagnetic interaction, G_e=2.374335685 x10³⁷m³ kg^-1sec^-2. As the magnitude of operating force is far less than the magnitude of c⁴/G, protons and electrons cannot be considered as black holes. Based on these new concepts, in this paper an attempt is made to understand the mysterious nuclear binding energy in a unified and very simplified picture.
