On Fundamental Nuclear Physics & Quantum Physics in Light of a Plausible Final Unification

Abstract

It is possible to show that: 1) There exists a strong interaction elementary charge of magnitude, e_s~4.720586603E-19 C and squared ratio of electromagnetic and strong interaction charges is equal to the strong coupling constant; 2) Like quarks, the strong interaction elementary charge is experimentally undetectable and can be called as ‘invisible elementary nuclear charge’; 3) There exists a gravitational constant associated with strong interaction, G_s~3.329561213E28 m3/kg/sec2; 4) There exists a gravitational constant associated with electromagnetic interaction, G_e~2.374335685E37 m3/kg/sec2. Considering the proposed strong interaction elementary charge, one can understand the magnetic moments of proton and neutron. Considering the proposed electromagnetic and strong gravitational constants, one can quantify ‘quantum constants’ and show the same to be secondary physical constants. Based on these points, the authors in this paper make the attempt to understand the mystery of origin of rest masses, magnetic moments and quantum nature of electron in hydrogen atom. Further, the authors develop simple procedure for understanding the mass numbers of stable atomic nuclides and their corresponding nuclear binding energy.
