If the nucleus has had a mass defect it is likely that the

strong force and the weak force have sustained a major

reduction in equilibrium. This can cause the positive and

negative charges to reverse and change energy levels. Such

a phenomenon has been describe by Einstein in his paper on

the speed of light and time reduction. You can check this

with the use of an electron microscope to determine is the

color spectrum had changed drastically. If so, then you may

have a problem.
