BTW, for those not initiated in String Theory, the positrons
and Electrons are "Length Only" Loops or Disks with circumference
or Wavelength [2(Pi)R)] that can stack side-by-side and act like
a length-less solenoid.
Hence a nucleon has a radius but no width.
Something to do with "folding in ten dimensional space".
How wide is a photon, or for that matter any EM wave? :-)

(559 - 312 MeV) is the energygiven off as the binding energy of the two (+ or up ) and one (- or down)"Quarks" in the proton.OTOH, 1.02E6 * 8* 137 = 1.118 GeV which couldbe the unbound mass-energy of a meson required to end upwith a 624 MeV (+/- Quark) in a heavy baryon "proton" (*P) whichwould make it 2 times the energy-mass of a proton with samecharge and spin, but ~1/2 the nuclear magnetic moment,anda different radiusIOW, there are groups consisting of 137 positrons and electrons(Pi Mesons) making up heavier-stranger mesons thatend up making Baryons.Perhaps a garden variety of stable "WIMPs" too.Pulsars that are known to spew out megatons of Positrons and Electronsevery second can make the Leptons-Mesons-Baryons better than thehigh energy physics laboratory "atom smashers".The Proton-Proton to Helium burning on the Sun could be workingwith the heavier baryons (*P) and donating them to theSolar Wind as heavy (*H-) "hydrino hydride" or a low energy stripping (*D)species. In a mass spectrometer *D containing a (*P) could look like mass 3HD, He-3, or Tritium. Or with two (*P) it could look like D2 or He-4. :-)Fred
