2022-08-24: What Makes The Strong Force Strong?

  • 00:04: It’s strange enough for atoms, but positively bizarre when we get to the atomic nucleus.
  • 01:13: But if the strong force is so strong, why is it confined to the atomic nucleus?
  • 05:12: We need this attraction to hold quarks together in nucleons, and nucleons together in the atomic nucleus.
  • 05:19: And that attractive force needs to be stronger than the repulsive electromagnetism, while also vanishing outside the atomic nucleus.
