DETECTION OF PROTON SELF-DECAY AS A SCIENTIFIC AND PHILOSOPHICAL PROBLEM

Abstract

Incomparably more often, the nucleus of an atom decays earlier, and the proton continues to exist, but in extremely rare cases, the reverse sequence is possible: the self-decay of the proton precedes the moment of the decay of the nucleus. We believe that the mass of the primary nuclide 128Te with the longest and experimentally confirmed half-life should serve as the testable mass for detecting proton self-decay. The self-decay of a proton will differ from ordinary radioactivity by much more energy released during it.
