According to the laws of electrodynamics, nature should be "symmetrical." There should be atoms with negative as well as positive nuclei.

The heavy, charged particles (protons) in the nuclei of atoms were always positive. The light particles (electrons) surrounding the nuclei were always negative. Never could the scientists find a "reversed atom" (negative protons, positive electrons) to back up the principle of symmetry...
