They appear to be two different aspects of the same entity-the nucleon. " The composition of the particles, he pointed out, is nearly alike except for the electrical charge. Each is composed of an outer cloud of moving mesons, a denser inner cloud, and an extremely dense, pointlike core. Both cores are no larger...
