Cubic Lattice Nucleus Model & Cryogenic Cosmology
Abstract
A cubic lattice model for atomic nuclei is proposed as a useful and informative concept for assessing cryogenic nucleosynthesis of light and heavy elements and their isotopes in the nascent cosmos. The model visualizes cubic substructures of nucleons and lattice architectures of atomic nuclei. The cubic nuclear lattice is based on a deuteron module for the fusion of atomic nuclei, overcoming strong coulomb repelling forces of protons in close proximity. The cubic deuteron is a proton‑neutron pair which avoids the presupposition of point-like or spheroidal nucleons. Cubic deuterons provide a tessellated architecture for atomic nuclei and explain the stability of nucleon binding in various isotopes. In the cubic model, the electron orbital envelope is determined by the cube-tessellated architecture specific to each atom’s nucleus. The model envisions an electron orbital envelope which conceptually enhances nucleosynthesis and facilitates cryogenic nuclear fusion. The cubic model explains the presence of heavy elements in nebulae that apparently preexist the stars which form within them. Given the cubic lattice model, there is no need for a hot big bang to initiate fusion of helium, lithium, or more massive primordial elements during the nascency of the cosmos, as conjectured in current cosmology theory. The Cubic model also demonstrates how Higgs-boson-like spacetime voxels add mass to elementary particles.
