Nuclear Strong Force is a Fiction

Whoops - did not notice that second set of slides which unfortunately starts with a bit of a deception: nucleons are never considered to orbit like electrons around a nucleus.
A nitpick to start: elections do not "orbit" a nucleus - they exist in orbitals.
Nucleons can be visualized as existing in orbitals caused by the other nucleons. I am fairly sure that this has been pointed out before.

The Yukawa potential was not developed from the Coulomb potential.
Hideki Yukawa showed in the 1930s that such a potential arises from the exchange of a massive scalar field such as the field of the pion whose mass is m. Since the field mediator is massive the corresponding force has a certain range, which is inversely proportional to the mass.[1]
It does have a relationship to the Coulomb potential - let the mass of a pion go to zero and a Coulomb potential results.

The top middle slide is worse:
* A proton has no binding energy. There has to be at least 2 nucleons for a nuclear binding energy to exist :eek:.
* The binding energy of 2H is 2224.52± 0.20 keV so stating that 1.66 Mev is close is a lie - it is not within experimental bounds.
