The Assembly and Classification of the Elements Using the Roberts-Janet Nuclear Periodic Table

Abstract

John O Roberts

A framework and surprisingly coherent analysis of the elements is presented using the Roberts-Janet table derived by inverting the Periodic Table coupled with the Quantum Mechanical Table established using the mathematics of the Standard Model and groups U (1) x S U (2) x S U (3). Having already identified in previous articles a one to one mapping between the two tables, this article seeks to consolidate such a framework to include nucleosynthesis by presenting the appearance of the highly stable numbers of neutrons and protons – magic numbers within the Nuclear Shell Model – as a consequence of the framework itself. The article also seeks to illustrate similarities between the electron structure of individual elements in condensed matter (Periodic Table) and the structure of neutrons and protons in plasma during fusion (Nucleosynthesis) and its possible extension to the Standard Model and beyond. Phase changes together with suitable boundary conditions lead to the hypothesis that all elements ultimately become metallic.
