electromagnetism - If protons and electrons had similar masses


If electrons and protons had the same mass, would they still be in a stable orbit around their barycenter, or would they eventually collide? Similarly, a positronium(or protonium) only lasts extremely briefly until it annihilates, would a similar situation happen where the electrons would join the protons and neutrons in the nucleus(this wouldn't violate Pauli exclusion principle as they are different fermions).



If this were the case, would Chemistry still be possible in anyway resembling the current form?


Would electrons/protons still have energy states?

Understanding Stagnation point in pitot fluid

What is stagnation point in fluid mechanics. At the open end of the pitot tube the velocity of the fluid becomes zero.But that should result...
