Micro ART Review

If a male is an electron, then electrons repel each other, but together they perform work in the form of electricity. If women are protons then women form nuclear bonds with other women and couples. Couples are neutrons, which are the combination of an electron plus a proton plus an antineutrino. An antineutrino is therefore love.

The half life of a neutron is the amount of time a couple remains together or until at least one half of the partners becomes disaffect and the relationship deteriorates. Unconditional love is a neutron with an infinite half life. A mother and a son also form a neutron.

Beta decay is the decay of a neutron into a proton and an electron. When a boy reaches puberty he tends to go his own way and the bond with his mother weakens.

Girlfriends form nuclear bonds. A mother daughter pair forms a nuclear bond.

The Oedipus story can be modeled in this way. The father feels threatened by his son. A prophesy claims that the son will displace the father, so the father sends the son away to his death. Oedipus does not die, but is adopted, grows up, leaves home, and meets his biological father on the road, where he slays him. In time he marries his mother.

A neutron is formed by one and only one pair of an electron and a proton. The idea is sound, but in real life the parent's intimate relationship resumes once the kids are asleep in bed. Instead of all or nothing, the mother/wife has two roles.

Another Greek myth is that of Odysseus, who goes off to the Trojan War leaving his wife Penelope and young son Telemachus. The war lasts ten years, and is recounted in Homer's Iliad. It took him another ten years to get home as recounted in Homer's Odyssey. By then Telemachus was twenty. When Odysseus returns he fights and kills Penelope’s suitors. Other stories say that Odysseus and Penelope have another son, and Odysseus leaves home again. As a corollary to the Oedipus complex, I offer the Penelope complex where the birth of a son displaces the husband in his relationship with his wife, and drives him away.

I define a neutron relationship, as an intimate relationship between a man and a woman. A hydrogen atom also contains an electron and a proton, but they are not as strongly bound as they are in a neutron. Statistics show that half of all hydrogen atoms end in ionization, i.e. half of all marriages end in divorce.
