Hi gray,

The positive charge is the energy exploding from the protons and their interaction with neutrons.
Magnetism has a similar effect of attraction and repulsion but this is due to spin, not contraction and expansion.
I would intuitively think exploding energy is radiative. The particle is loosing energy and becoming less massive. Conversely, a particle absorbing energy is becoming more massive and is being charged and regenerated.
As far as magnetism goes. I believe it has been greatly misunderstood. Take a bar magnet. It has a north pole and a south pole as arbitrarily assigned. They are oppositely charged. We have been told that like charges repel and opposite charges attract. If this were true than the charges would neutralize at the center of the bar magnet, and they do not. We have been told that the electron and the proton attract one another for the same reason. Something is very wrong here.

This is the one statement from this section in TUB that made me flip. TUB uses much of our known science of 1934 but leaves open clues to tell us we have something wrong. These are in the form of subtle clues. Remember we must earn our knowledge and they are very careful not to reveal what we are capable of discovering on our own.
That said, I think this quote from TUB is telling us that our atomic theory is wrong. The proton weighs two thousand times more than an electron but they are the same size! What!?
