👉 In physics, "paleokinetic" refers to a type of atomic structure that is composed primarily of neutrons and protons. This type of atomic structure is often referred to as a pseudopotential or pseudonucleus because it lacks the conventional nuclear charge and mass numbers associated with traditional atomic structures. Pseudonuclei are typically described in terms of their properties such as their binding energy, stability, and recombination rate. They can be used in calculations involving nuclear physics due to
