And you get your short term loan and it pays you back with interest. :-)

I doubt he intended to imply that the result of said reaction would be both a free neutron and a free proton. IOW at least one of the two needs to be absorbed by a target nucleus for this reaction to occur. You can borrow 2.2 MeV from the Heisenberg bank, but you only get a *very* short term loan. ;) Regards, Robin van Spaandonk http://rvanspaa.freehostia.com/project.html
