When two like charged participles are cooper paired together, do they still have charge? They may not. Their charge may be delocalized and exist at a location that is far distant from the spin part of them. If they both had the same charge, how could they stick together? A quasi-neutron…

*It isn't clear to me why a cooper pair of protons would be of nuclear dimensions, nor why they would be able to surmount the Coulomb barrier.* Essentially, there exists no Coulomb barrier at the point of charge concentration if that concentration is dense enough. These days, I am interested in
