ELECTRIC CHARGE, OPEN SYSTEM

  • The electric charge of a charged particle is due to a violent exchange of virtual photons between the charged particle and the local vacuum VPF

    • photons continually absorbed from the vacuum

    • photons continually radiated back to the vacuum

    • this exchange flux is what electric charge IS.

     

  • In the nucleus, everything is changing into everything, so to speak.  It is a furious, VPF-driven cauldron.

     

  • the nucleus is an open, driven system, normally in equilibrium with respect to VPF input and output.
