The discussion centers on a new nuclear atom theory proposed by rlduncan, suggesting that protons have two poles but cannot create their own negative side. The theory posits that when an electron enters orbit, the proton's positive side interacts with the electron's negative field, charging the proton's south pole negatively. This interaction leads to a dynamic where the proton can radiate both positive and negative fields, resulting in simultaneous attraction and repulsion of the electron. The conversation highlights the importance of experimental data to validate these theories, with an emphasis on how this could necessitate significant changes in scientific textbooks if proven correct. The charged ring model is mentioned as a relevant concept, linking the distance parameters of electron-proton interactions to geometric principles found in Pascal's Triangle. The thread encourages further examination and discussion within the scientific community.
