"The Schwarzschild Proton" paper - Is the science valid?
I'm going with "Nonsense." on account of
- Mixing physics 101 mechanics with special relativity with no evident effort made to tell which case is applicable. In particular, modeling the proton as a black hole, and asserting that he can use physics 101 circular motion to describe the acceleration of two such objects whose event horizons are in contact!
- Claiming that the proton's mass arises from "cohering" some of the vacuum, and making no attempt to explain whence the charge comes and why it is always the same.
- No effort to explain where the neutron comes from, or why it is chargeless, or why it is unstable.
- No hint of an explanation of how or why nucleons can bind together, and why some states are stable and some are not.
- Frankly, I gave up looking at the alleged physics at this point...there is some verbiage that purports to relate the anomalous magnetic moment of the proton, and the author finds it necessary to use scare quotes on anomalous. Not promising.
- A general sense of "snake oil" in the web site.
A side note that may be of interest. AIP conferences accept a few papers from authors whose theories are...ehm...not well regarded. I don't know why. I do know that people flock to see these talks as comic relief (and they are generally scheduled very late in the day). Personally I find myself intensely embarrassed on the presenters behalf: I figure they must know how the audience feels, and don't know why they do it.
Experimental disproof:
Here's an experimental disproof of such result. Nassim's model predicts that a pair of two protons will form a stable nucleus, orbiting each other at a speed close to that of light in vacuo. However, various experiments shows that a diproton is an extremely unstable isotope of helium, which decays in less than a billionth of a second. You can read: G. Raciti et al., Physical Review Letters 100, 195203–06 (2008) "Experimental Evidence of $^2$He Decay from $^{18}$Ne Excited States" to check the facts.
