I read an article saying an Israeli scientist had discovered the heaviest nucleus with 122 protons and 170 neutrons, and found it in a sample of purified thorium, and I would like to know if there are any laws of physics that put a constraint on the size limit of atom? (By size, I mean the maximum number of protons and neutrons held together by nuclear force, so that pretty much rules out neutron star and the likes.)
