I recently read the proton has an outward force of 10e35 Pascals with an equal inward force containing it. Can this be true?
There is nothing that would need fine tuning to be balanced.Sanborn Chase said:To have that EXACTLY balanced as in the current model is a stretch for me.
It is, and to a good approximation it acts the same on all quarks in a nucleus.Sanborn Chase said:Isn't the strong nuclear force a description of the binding force holding the nucleus together? Does it apply equally to the components of the nucleus?
Mediating between what?Sanborn Chase said:Don't we need a mediating force?
Well, I was going on the content of wikipedia [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strong_interaction] which says the force holding the quarks together is the strong nuclear force, which is mediated by gluons.mfb said:Four nanometers is not a scale you'll see anywhere in connection with the strong interaction.

That is correct but I don't see the connection to your previous question about "a mediating force". The strong interaction is mediated by gluons. Gluons are not a force, they are force carriers (similar to the photon).cmb said:Well, I was going on the content of wikipedia [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strong_interaction] which says the force holding the quarks together is the strong nuclear force, which is mediated by gluons.
Every interaction ("force") has.cmb said:Every quantum field has mediating particles as force carriers, does it not?
The Proton's 10e35 Pascals outward force is a measure of the repulsive force between two protons in an atom's nucleus. This force is essential for the stability of the atom and plays a crucial role in determining the properties of matter.
The Proton's 10e35 Pascals outward force was first theorized by scientists in the early 20th century, based on experiments that showed the repulsive force between two protons. This force was later confirmed through more advanced experiments, such as particle accelerators, which allowed for the direct measurement of the force.
No, the Proton's 10e35 Pascals outward force is a fundamental force of nature and cannot be manipulated or controlled by humans. It is an inherent property of protons and cannot be altered.
The Proton's 10e35 Pascals outward force is one of the four fundamental forces of nature, along with gravity, electromagnetism, and the strong nuclear force. It plays a crucial role in understanding the structure of matter and the interactions between particles. It also has implications in fields such as quantum mechanics and nuclear physics.
Yes, the Proton's 10e35 Pascals outward force is a constant force that remains the same regardless of the distance between two protons. This is known as the Coulomb's law, which states that the force between two charged particles is directly proportional to the product of their charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
