    Why is the strong Nuclear force the strongest?

    The 'This is just wrong' remark was a bit of a kick in the nuts, but that's ok, I understand =) It's not often you get to converse with decent, respectable people on the Internet but PhysicsForums seems to be a hub for the helpful and considerate. Anyway, I'm straying away from the thread topic...

    Why is the strong Nuclear force the strongest?

    Ok, thanks guys. And yeah I'm not sure why I said 'Unbound', I wanted to say 'large area'. It seems that I entered this website thinking I could have a go at answering a couple of questions and instead learned a few things myself, so I appreciate your support. I am however, slightly insulted at...

    Why is the strong Nuclear force the strongest?

    Message understood, sorry about that. I'm fairly new to this website so is there any way to remove my post?

    Why is the strong Nuclear force the strongest?

    I apologise, but I'm unable to determine a contradiction between my post and yours. It seems that we are on separate tangents to each other ^.^ I respect your position and experience on this forum and out of the two of us you're most likely to be correct, but could you emphasise the point in my...

    Why is the strong Nuclear force the strongest?

    As far as I understand, the strong nuclear force is so effective because it only acts within a small radius, i.e. comparable to the radius of the average atomic nucleus. Due to the small acting area it becomes much more concentrated and thus has a significantly greater effect, hence nuclear...

    Why Does Hot Air Rise Above Cooler Air?

    Mmh... not technically true, but a very interesting principle. As previously stated, in accordance with General Relativity, a particle's mass increases with its energy. Unfortunately this has no effect on the overall charge of a particle or indeed an atom as the relative electrical energy inside...

    Why Does Hot Air Rise Above Cooler Air?

    I'm aware that this question has been very successfully answered, but allow me to post a more equation-based contribution; In accordance with P=m/V, if we lower the density of a subsystem (here, the hot air), then providing that its mass does not change, the volume of the subsystem increases...
