My first problem is regarding the Nucleus...What is the heaviest possible stable or metastable nucleus?
 


Well, the most stable nucleus is Nickel-62 because the configuration of neutrons and protons is the greatest equilibrium.

The term "anomaly" has a precise meaning in particle physics. It refers to a classical symmetry broken by quantum corrections.

Ah, but what is the particle physics definition of an unknown anomaly?

A classical symmetry unknown to be broken by quantum corrections?
