The article discusses the possibility of implementing a time loop for microcosm objects. This is a direct consequence of the identity of the particles. The authors study the phenomena of charge exchange of fast nucleons during their collision (transition of a neutron into a proton, a proton into a neutron). A thought experiment is proposed. When a neutron that has decayed into a proton collides at high speed with another neutron, a nuclear charge exchange reaction occurs. As a result, the proton becomes a neutron again. Thus, his future is identical to the past. If the quantum numbers of two particles (for example, neutrons) coincide, then these particles are considered identical. Similar phenomena occur within atomic nuclei, where protons and neutrons constantly (virtually) transform into each other. As a result, the lifetime of a nucleus for an external observer can be thousands of years, and for nucleons, due to periodic time reversal, it can be on the order of 10–22 s (time loop cycle).
