Current quantum mechanics treats atoms as two-dimensional systems with abstract angular momentum quantum numbers. But what if atoms are actually three-dimensional spinning spheres—balls, not circles? This simple conceptual shift leads to a profound mathematical result:the electromagnetic force binding electrons to nuclei emerges naturally from 3D rotational geometry, with zero free parameters.We demonstrate that the formula F = ℏ²s³/(mr³ ), where s = mvr/ℏ is calculated from observables, exactly reproduces the Coulomb force forhydrogen (agreement: 99.9%). Remarkably, this same geometric principle works across the periodic table: helium (99.5%), carbon (99.4%), iron (98.8%), and gold with relativisticcorrections (99.3%). These results emerged from a deeper philosophical insight: gravity is the centripetal force of spacetime. When you stand on Earth, what you call gravity is simply the centripetal force required to keep you moving with the spinning reference frame. This thought, though it may have led us into speculativeterritory, guided our exploration across scales and revealed that electromagnetic force may be quantum gravity in disguise—the centripetalrequirement of 3D atomic rotation. The implications are striking: (1) Standing on a hydrogen atom would provide the same rotational reference frame as standing on Earth, just 1020 times stronger; (2) The hierarchy problem dissolves if all forces are the same geometryat different scales; (3) We are not cosmic wanderers but forever bound to our local universe by invisible threads of spacetime rotation. While this "atoms are balls" framework cannot replace dark matter at galacticscales, its success across the periodic table using zero fitting parameters suggests we may have been missing something fundamental about atomic structure. Sometimes the deepest insights come from the simplest questions: Are atoms really flat circles, or are they spinning balls?

This paper proposes a quark-centered model of atomic nuclei, presenting an alternative to conventional proton-neutron clustering concepts. Instead of treating nucleons as compact clusters, we model them as linearly sequenced quark triads that form electrostatically stabilized, open-ended structures. These structures assemble into hexatorial rings (hexatori) and vertically stacked formations, producing highly stable nuclei like u2074He and explaining structural phenomena across the periodic table. This approach offers a geometric foundation for nuclear binding, resolves the instability of u2078Be, reveals lithium-like stacks at the core of heavier nuclei, and demonstrates how proton arrangement naturally shapes electron shell behavior. Developed in experimental collaboration with AI (ChatGPT), this model challenges traditional math-centric nuclear paradigms and provides a physically intuitive framework connecting nuclear geometry to atomic properties.

The attenuation of blast by the damage done to mostly wood-frame buildings in Hiroshima and Nagasaki was measured by Penney et al (1970) and provides a benchmark for nuclear blast effects in open terrain. This article examines how such a blast, and a range of yields from 1 kiloton (kt) to 15 megatons (MT), would be attenuated in New York City, using structural parameters from Northrop/DTRA (1996), blast equations adjusted with empirical data from Glasstone and Dolan (1977), and structural response equations. Attenuation mechanisms include diffraction, kinetic energy in oscillating buildings, plastic deformation, and flying debris. A structural-based attenuation model, tailored to New York’s reinforced concrete and steel-frame buildings, is derived and applied, with energy per unit area tables, comparisons of peak overpressure and dynamic pressure in open terrain versus New York City, and detailed tables for multiple yields.

This report compiles thermal radiation shielding data from five nuclear test reports (WT-717, WT-1317, WT-1351, WT-1417, WT-1621) cited in "Review of City Skyline Nuclear Explosion Thermal Shielding Data with Implications for Firestorm and Nuclear Winter Avoidance." Each entry includes the full report title, inferred authorship, specific quotations, shielding data, and page references from the source document. Additional context is drawn from "Guide to U.S. Atmospheric Nuclear Weapon Effects Data" (DASIAC SR-92-007), confirming report numbering and organizational details. The data, from U.S. nuclear tests between 1955 and 1962, demonstrate significant reductions in thermal radiation behind obstacles, challenging assumptions of widespread firestorms in modern urban environments. A summary table and notes provide context for locating and interpreting the original reports.

The data, from U.S. nuclear tests between 1955 and 1962, demonstrate significant reductions in thermal radiation behind obstacles, challenging assumptions of widespread firestorms in modern urban environments. A summary table and notes provide context for locating and interpreting the original reports. Furthermore, a review of George R. Stanbury’s work on city thermal shielding is included, highlighting the role of urban design in mitigating thermal radiation effects and offering practical insights for civil defense planning.
