Indeed. That is interesting. The charge requirement seems like an unnecessary addition, but I like the general direction. The intuition for me is that the nuclear force might present a broadband spectrum of sorts, and that this spectrum can have resonances at different frequencies. In high-energy particle physics, we see the resonances at high frequencies. Perhaps at much lower frequencies (analogous to but not the same as radio waves), you'd also find resonances. Eric
