Third, the ensuing balance of terror is unstable, inviting a superpower scramble for nuclear superiority as well
as subnuclear proxy wars.
The influence of electromagnetism extends to infinite distances, whereas the influence of the weak interaction is confined to
subnuclear dimensions, less than about 10 - 15 centimeters.
The Italian Institute for Nuclear Physics (INFN) manages and supports theoretical and experimental research in the fields
of subnuclear, nuclear, astroparticle physics in Italy under the supervision of the Ministry of Education, Universities and Research (MIUR).
The reason for this is that the term «gamma ray» is used for photons generated from nuclear decay or other nuclear and
subnuclear processes, whereas X-rays are generated by electronic transitions involving highly energetic inner electrons.
Only if the muon antineutrinos change into electron antineutrinos in flight will they interact with protons in the oil, and
the subnuclear shrapnel generate flashes of light.
«Modern discoveries reveal an extraordinary range of concepts and images — from
the subnuclear world, via robots and computers, to the cosmos.
