Greetings from the island of enhanced stability:
The quest for the limit of the periodic table
https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2024/02/240213130458.htm

quote:
" Already in the first half of the last century,
researchers realized that the mass of atomic nuclei is smaller than the total mass of their proton and neutron constituents.
This difference in mass is responsible for the binding energy of the nuclei. "
Now thinking about this I can explain that with Le Sage theory????
