Thanks for the talk about Boscovich. Here the presenter quotes Heisenberg as saying that Boscovich's force is repulsive at short distances but becomes attractive at larger distances. https://youtu.be/w1vi0yk7BvU?t=1999 Such a force is sufficient to account for the formation of stable solids (condensed matter) from atoms, but the formation of a stable nucleus would seem to be precluded. Boscovich theory of force could be considered comprehensive for its time when nothing was known about the nucleus. However, the formation of a stable nucleus would need to be supplemented by a complementary force which is attractive at small distances but repulsive at larger distances.
