Something Is Not Right!
A crisis began developing during the twentieth century that
continues to unfold even as you read these words. The
crisis is the failed efforts by scientist to develop a credible
working model of the atomic nucleus. Nuclear advances
have been nonexistent since the early 1950s.
The lack of progress in understanding the atomic nucleus
likely prevails because the model of the nucleus that evolved
since the 1950s contains particles and forces that do not
appear to exist in nature. After years of searching, scientist
have yet to find them.
Each year millions of hours and billions of dollars are
poured into the efforts to find these entities, with no success.
The continued lack of success seems to imply that maybe
these theories and models are just wrong. Yet, no one
seems too alarmed that the searches keep coming up
empty. No one has questioned the validity of the theories
that claim the particles and forces exist. No one seems
willing to say, "Something is not right; let's take another look
at this."
Well, something is not right; let's take another look at this!

The Alpha-Beta Nuclear Theory
A reevaluation of nuclear phenomena reveals that a simple,
straightforward model of the atomic nucleus can be
developed using particles that were discovered decades
ago. The alpha-beta theory of the nucleus uses positive
and negative beta particles to build the proton and the
neutron, instead of up and down quarks, particles that have
never been observed.
Nucleons bond together by sharing beta particles in order
to possess a compliment of particles equivalent to that of a
free proton. This creates bonds between them similar to
the covalent bonds formed by atoms sharing electrons to fill
their outer electron shells. Using the bonds, individual
nucleons join together to form alpha particles, and alpha
particles bond together along with supplemental individual
nucleons to form the stable complex nuclei.
The theory develops relatively simple models for more than
250 stable nuclei, and many unstable ones. Its models
provide explanations for alpha and beta decay of nuclei,
and mechanism for nuclear fission and nuclear fusion.
