Abstract
In the reading Nyambuya (2015), we proposed a hypothetical state of the Hydrogen atom
whose name we coined ¡®Neutronium¡¯. That is to say, in the typical Hydrogen atom, the
Electron is assumed to orbit the Proton, while in the Neutronium, the converse is assumed,
i.e., the Proton orbits the Electron. In the present reading, we present some seductive
argument which lead us to think that this Neutronium may actually be the usual Neutron
that we are used to know. That is to say, we show that under certain assumed conditions, a
free Neutronium may be unstable while a non-free Neutronium is stable in its confinement.
Given that a free Neutron is stable in it confinement of the nucleus and unstable where
free with a lifetime of ¡« 15min, one wonders whether or not this Neutronium might be the
Neutron if we are to match the lifetime of a free Neutronium to that of a free Neutron
