Hi Pethuel,

The physicists seem to be probing the pre-electronic or subatomic realm of matter. They have evidence that a new particle that fits there can be brought into existence or separated from the atom.

42:4.12 (474.2) The existence of pre-electronic forms of matter is indicated by the two atomic weights of lead. The lead of original formation weighs slightly more than that produced through uranium disintegration by way of radium emanations; and this difference in atomic weight represents the actual loss of energy in the atomic breakup.

The so-called Standard Model contains a catalog of subatomic particles that are known to exist based on experimental results and whose existence and characteristics is roughly compatible with a particular mathematical generating algorithm. This new particle, if it actually exists, doesn't fit a known configuration of the mathematical generating algorithm. That would mean that the algorithm behind the Standard Model is either incomplete or erroneous.

This new particle would seem to be not too different in mass from a pi meson, which was originally called a "mesotron".

42:8.4 (479.2) As atoms are constituted, neither electric nor gravitational forces could hold the nucleus together. The integrity of the nucleus is maintained by the reciprocal cohering function of the mesotron, which is able to hold charged and uncharged particles together because of superior force-mass power and by the further function of causing protons and neutrons constantly to change places. The mesotron causes the electric charge of the nuclear particles to be incessantly tossed back and forth between protons and neutrons. At one infinitesimal part of a second a given nuclear particle is a charged proton and the next an uncharged neutron. And these alternations of energy status are so unbelievably rapid that the electric charge is deprived of all opportunity to function as a disruptive influence. Thus does the mesotron function as an “energy-carrier” particle which mightily contributes to the nuclear stability of the atom.
