| Summary: | The rotating lepton model (RLM), which is a 2D Bohr-type model of three gravitating rotating neutrinos, combining Newton’s gravitational law, special relativity, and the de Broglie equation of quantum mechanics, and which has already been used to model successfully quarks and the strong force in several hadrons, has been extended to 3D and to six rotating neutrinos located at the vertices of a normal triangular octahedron in order to compute the Lorentz factors, gamma, of the six neutrinos and, thus, to compute the total energy and mass of the deuteron, which is the lightest nucleus. The computation includes no adjustable parameters, and the computed deuteron mass agrees within 0.05% with the experimental mass value. This very good agreement suggests that, similarly to the strong force in hadrons, the nuclear force in nuclei can also be modeled as relativistic gravity. This implies that, via the combination of special relativity and quantum mechanics, the Newtonian gravity gets unified with the strong force, including the residual strong force.
