The atomic nucleus is the central core of an atom, composed of protons and neutrons, collectively known as nucleons. It contains most of the atom's mass and is held together by the strong nuclear force, which overcomes the electrostatic repulsion between positively charged protons.

Voyage into the unknown universe of the nucleus of the atom WHAT IS IT ALL ABOUT "The nuclear mass defect is a non-existent physical property". An exceptional conclusion that will raise quite a bit of controversy, supported by a somewhat out of the box example that exposes the incorrect interpretation of the theoretical mass difference of an atom (element / isotope) and the weighted average of that same atom (element / isotope). In the aftermath of that finding, it was necessary to consider whether the nuclear binding energy should also be questioned. Before that could be answered it was necessary to explore new horizons and dive into the world of the atomic nucleus. It was like throwing a stone in a puddle, the results will cause ripples in the scientific community with supporters and opponents … but it has yielded surprising results that gave a very different look at the inner workings of the atomic nucleus. EINSTEIN…. …. argued that the nuclear mass defect of a nucleus corresponds to a certain amount of binding energy for that nucleus which is the energy released with the formation of that nucleus from its nucleons, or is the energy required to break that nucleus into its individual components, but is that really the case? This is a search for the answer to that question. It is up to the reader if he is ready to embrace a new direction in nuclear physics or to keep walking on the trodden paths.
