I'm having a bit of trouble understanding the concept. I realise through beta-minus radiation a neutron becomes a proton, releasing an electron and antineutrino, but HOW? What exactly is happening?

And i realise i've placed this in the religious section, but then again isn't physics the language of God? or something like that...

read a science book it to long to being explaining

A proton is positively charged. An electron is negatively charged. A neutron has no charge because it is made up of both a proton and and electron - the positive and negative charges negate each other. If you remove the negative charge (take away the electron), you only have the proton left.

The neutron learns to think positively.

God said, "Let there be a proton!" And He saw it was good.

Welcome to quantum physics. Answer is -- we don't know yet. String theory's the best we have so far but it's starting to look a little overhyped and little understood.
