Why ordinary nuclei cannot grow arbitrarily large: Coulomb repulsion and spontaneous-fission instability set limits on viable charge and baryon number (roughly A up to a few hundred), including the nonexistence of superheavy nuclei beyond the known range and the island-of-stability question. Excludes dense/quark matter stability claims.

Coulomb barriers and fission instability prevent ordinary nuclei from aggregating to baryon numbers above 300 under natural conditions
