Radioactivity and the Abundance of Heavy Elements in Quasars

The abundance of heavy elements in quasars is something that has puzzled conventional science researchers for a long time. It does not square up with their model of the universe and their belief that quasars are extremely distant objects, the first ones to be formed, in an environment believed to be completely lacking in heavy elements. The heavy elements are a complete mystery in conventional cosmology.

However, this mystery turns out to be no mystery at all in the electric universe model of things. Quasars are not all that distant. They are not all that old, and the universe is presumably unending. The elements have always existed. They fuse and fission from time to time, but the universe as a whole is not changing in overall chemical composition. Quasars should be composed of pretty much the same stuff as our own solar system.

If there is a difference between the chemical composition of quasars and our solar system, it may in fact be the case that quasars have more heavy elements than what we have.

The reason for this is that the protons and neutrons that make up the atoms in quasars are lighter. As a consequence, they are less likely to fall apart.

Atoms that spontaneously fall apart, is what we call radioactive atoms. They fall apart because their nucleus are too massive. Uranium is an example of radioactive matter. It will fission spontaneously into lighter elements.

This leaves us with a puzzle. How was uranium produced in the first place if it has a tendency to spontaneously fall apart?

The answer to this may be that uranium was not radioactive in the past. When its nucleus was made up of lighter protons and neutrons, it was not too heavy. It was perfectly stable and neutral. But as the neutrons and protons accumulated mass, heavy elements that used to be stable, became unstable.

We know from Halton Arp's work that matter in quasars is made up of atoms with light nuclei. Heavy elements are therefore likely to be stable and in relative abundant supply in quasars.

When plasma condensates into elements of various types, protons and neutrons are very light. The condensation into very heavy elements is therefore not a problem. However, as the protons and neutrons of matter in quasars gain mass, the heaviest configurations will become radioactive and fall apart. It may therefore very well be the case that young quasars have more heavy elements in them than younger quasars, and that all quasars have a more abundant supply of heavy elements than what we have in our solar system.
