Re: Why is Curium the Last Semi-Stable Element?
Nice descriptions thanks guys! Ace diagrams and explanations Nevyn.
The only thing still vague: angled stacking (Miles' Carbon example) and how that might work if it isn't a direct overlap?
BTW, either background is fine for me (dark/light).

Yeah, that is a problem. I think it requires calculating information about the charge profile of the structure and seeing how that effects the components of that structure. I'm not anywhere near ready for that in my code. It is where I have always envisaged that it would go, but I've been more focused on how to present the models rather than how to use them for data. There is actually code in Atomic Viewer with that sort of calculation in mind, but it didn't get used (yet).
These types of discussions help that along though. Sometimes I need to write things down in order for me to see the forest for the trees (or the trees for the forest). Sometimes others give me ideas and I run with them into new territory. Sometimes I disagree with someone and think more deeply about it, whether that means I change my opinion or just reach a better understanding about it. Sometimes, I just go and do something else!

As I was going online and ordering up a few Graphene 3-D printer spools, I reread this section:

Also to see a condensed version of Mathis' Charge Field with SC. The Solid Light paper is always a good reread:

Simply because if you spread those three lower bonds out completely, matching them to the equator of the nucleus, you will have short-circuited the charge channeling of the atom. Charge channeling is normally either pole to equator, or pole to pole. But each profile has its own mechanics. Pole-to-pole channeling is through-charge, is linear, and it relies on field differentials top to bottom. It relies on a north/south pull, or a charge density differential top to bottom. Pole-to-equator channeling relies on the spin of the nucleus and its roughly spherical shape. During spin, the equator has more angular momentum, which draws charge out that way via a centrifugal effect. But here, we have a sort of mixed situation, where a polar charge stream is then spread out at 90 degrees angles. It comes in a pole, vertically, and then is released horizontally. That can't work because there is no logical mechanics for it. The charge density variations top to bottom don't apply, since—technically—there is no south pole any longer. Yes, we can still plug in neutrons down there, as I showed above, but for the three protons, the south pole no longer exists. They are releasing horizontally or equatorially, so there is no pull from a south pole. The pull to the side of the atom simply doesn't exist in the same way.
There aren't lower charge densities out there, so there is no “pull”. And, in the same way, there is no centrifugal effect to work with. Although there is no real south pole for these three protons, they are still plugged into the nuclear axis. They are getting their charge stream from the spin axis, so that charge stream can't feel any centrifugal effect. During spin, a sphere feels no centrifugal effect from the center or from any point on the spin axis.
Some will say, “Then why doesn't the nucleus dissolve in that case? If no charge is running through it, what is holding it together?” Three things.
One, we still have gravity, which the mainstream has mismeasured at the quantum level by 1022. http://milesmathis.com/quantumg.html
Two, we still have charge surrounding the nucleus like a powerful atmosphere. It supplies an external pressure.
Three, I assume that although the main charge streams have been broken, other minor ones persist. For instance, if we break that main line of charge, the nucleus can still channel through those neutrons on the south pole.
So if we went to 90 degrees and applied a current in the right way (from the south pole), we could force some amount of anticharge through the Graphene. The Graphene won't be completely inert, it just won't like our original current plugged in from the side.
