Introduction
Why is the Alpha-Particle such an important construct for the RQM? Because it bridges the world between:
- the macroscopic additive world where nucleons stack up together to form graspable 3D matter
- the world of quantized resonances
Any theory which can not give a graspable explanation to why the alpha-particle is as it is, risks to fail. I did not find a established theory which could explain it reasonably enough. When you see the success on how the RQM needs and proposes and explains its constituents you will see what the author meant.
