We have postulated throughout this blog that one can derive all the forces of nature by extrapolating the laws governing a three-dimensional environment to one made up of four *spatial* dimensions.

If so one should be able to derive the strong force in those terms.

The strong force, also known as the strong interaction, is the strongest force in the universe, 10³⁸ times stronger than gravity and 100 times stronger than the electromagnetic force.  However, it is only effective on length-scales of the atomic nucleus and drops rapidly off as the distance from the nucleus increases.

Earlier in the article “Why is energy/mass quantized?” Oct. 4, 2007 it was shown that one can derive the quantum mechanical properties of energy/mass by extrapolating the laws of classical resonance in a three-dimensional environment to a matter wave on a “surface” of a three-dimensional space manifold with respect to a fourth *spatial* dimension.
(Louis de Broglie was the first to predict the existence of a matter wave when he theorized that all particles have a wave component.  His theories were confirmed by the discovery of electron diffraction by crystals in 1927 by Davisson and Germer.)

Briefly it was shown the four conditions required for resonance to occur in a classical environment, an object, or substance with a natural frequency, a forcing function at the same frequency as the natural frequency, the lack of a damping frequency and the ability for the substance to oscillate spatial would be meet by a matter wave in an environment consisting of four *spatial* dimensions.

The existence of four *spatial* dimensions would give a matter wave the ability to oscillate spatially on a “surface” between a third and fourth *spatial* dimensions thereby fulfilling one of the requirements for classical resonance to occur.

These oscillations would be caused by an event such as the decay of a subatomic particle or the shifting of an electron in an atomic orbital.  This would force the “surface” of a three-dimensional space manifold with respect to a fourth *spatial* dimension to oscillate with the frequency associated with the energy of that event.

The oscillations caused by such an event would serve as forcing function allowing a resonant system or “structure” to be established in four *spatial* dimensions.

These resonant systems are responsible for the quantum mechanical properties energy/mass.

Later in the article “The geometry of quarks” Mar. 15, 2009 it was shown that one can understand why a particle is made up of three quarks of different “colors” again by extrapolating the geometric of three-dimensional space to a fourth while the article “Embedded dimensions” Oct. 22. 2007 showed it is possible to define all forms of energy including electrical in terms of a displacement in a “surface” of a three-dimensional space manifold with respect to a fourth *spatial* dimension.

Using the concepts developed in those articles one derive the mechanism responsible for why observe of particles are made up of distinct components called quarks of which there are six types, the UP/Down, Charm/Strange and Top/Bottom.  The Up, Charm and Top have a fractional charge of 2/3.  The Down, Strange and Bottom have a fractional charge of -1/3.  Scientists have also determined that quarks can take on one of three different configurations they have designated by the colors red, blue, and green.

The explanation is based in part on the fact that we as three-dimensional beings can only observe three of the four *spatial* dimensions.  Therefore, the energy associated with a displacement in its “surface” with respect to a fourth *spatial* dimension will be observed by us as being directed along that “surface”.  However, because two of the three-dimensions we can observe are parallel to that surface we will observe it to have 2/3 of the total energy associated with that displacement and we will observe the other 1/3 as being directed along the signal dimension that is perpendicular to that surface.

This means the 2/3 fractional charge of the Up, Charm and Top may be related to the energy directed along a “surface” of a displaced three-dimensional space manifold with respect to a four *spatial* dimension while the -1/3 charge of The Down, Strange and Bottom may be associated with the energy that is directed perpendicular to that “surface”.

The reason why quarks come in three configurations or colors with a fractional charge of 1/3 or 2/3 may be because, as was shown in the article “Embedded dimensions” there are three ways the individual axis of three-dimensional space can be oriented with respect to a fourth *spatial* dimension.  Therefore, the configuration or “colors” of each quark may be related to how its energy is distributed in three-dimensional space with respect to a fourth *spatial* dimension.

However, it also explains why it takes three quarks of different “colors” to form a particle because, as mentioned earlier one can define a particle in terms of a resonant system on a “surface” a three-dimensional space manifold with respect to a fourth *spatial* dimension.  If the colors of each quark represent the central axis associated with its charge then to form a stable resonate system would require three quarks that have different central axis to balance its energy with respect to the axes of three-dimensional space.  A particle could not exist if two quarks have the same central axis or color because it would cause an energy imbalance along that axis.  Therefore, a particle consisting of anything but quarks of three different colors would not be stable.

A proton contains two up Quarks with a +2/3 charge and one down quark with a -1/3 charge.  This tells us because they are stable that the resonant interaction of their geometries contains more energy that the electrical repulsive energy associated with their positive charge.

It is this excess resonant binding energy associated with their dimensional properties defines the causality of the strong force and the stability of a nucleus.

However, its components or protons and neutrons must be physically close enough for them to share this excess energy to create a stable one.

The sharing of this excess binding energy is also responsible for the creation of neutrons because geometrically it takes less energy for a volume to contain the two up quarks and two down quarks of a proton and neutron instead of four up quarks and two down quarks of two protons. In other words their electrical repulsive energy associated with the quarks is cut in half when the volume contains a proton and neutron instead of two protons and therefore energy/mass component of that volume will be in the lowest energy state possible.

However, the addition of a neutron to a nucleus adds the excess binding energy associated with its resonant system without the repulsive effects associated with of the positive charge of a proton.

Therefore, the existence of neutrons in a nucleus allows for creation of larger ones consisting of multiple positively charged protons because they add the binding energy associated with their resonant system without adding any repulsive electrical charge.

Yet this indicates that the binding energy of the strong force would be related to the size of the nucleus after a certain atomic weight is reached a nucleus will become physically too large for the individual resonant “structures” associated with the protons and neutron to uniformly share the energy require to maintain its structure.  This will result in that nucleus expelling the energy/mass required to reduce its physical size to a point where a stable nucleonic structure can be maintained.  Therefore, any nucleus that is physically larger than this critical value will be radioactive.

Additionally, the nucleus of atoms that have an atomic weight less than the critical value would increase its weight and size by “absorbing” energy/mass from an external source.  This will result in increasing the size and atomic number of that nucleus.

This indicates that the effectiveness of the strong nuclear force in absorbing or emitting energy/mass would only be effective on length-scales of the atomic nucleus and would drop rapidly off as the distance from the nucleus increases.

This shows how one can derive mechanism responsible for the strong nuclear force by extrapolating the classical laws governing resonance in a three-dimensional environment to one made up of four.
