energy energy Atom nucleus is approached, the energy gradually radiating away while con- verging towards the center around which the electrons gravitate. In addition, the layers move closer together as they move away from the 1 The electrons can jump to any higher, incomplete layer by absorb- ing an energy quantum. Photons are emitted as they return to the lower layer. r a yo. atts a 1 4 In our case, the electromagnetic interaction between electrons and nucleons is reduced to a spatio-temporal relation, where the nucleus is the center of strong interaction that brings the nucleons together by blocking the charge interaction with the same sign (protons), bouncing off naturally. This interaction is actually the gluonic force that connects quarks and is transmitted from one nucleon to another by the color charge of the quarks inside, thus ensuring that the neutrons, although they have a neutral charge, cannot escape from the nucleus. The asymptotic freedom of the quarks shows the extreme temporal vitality that exists below spatial scales that mark the boundaries of our knowl- edge. The closer they are, the more freedom they possess.
