[snip] Two electron toroids -> 1 negative pion Two positron toroids -> 1 positive pion One of each -> 1 neutral pion with a very short half life before the electrons and positrons start annihilating one another.
Two toroids together = 1 new toroid with a charge of 1. Regards, Robin van Spaandonk http://users.bigpond.net.au/rvanspaa/ Competition provides the motivation, Cooperation provides the means.
