- What is the God Particle and Why Should I Care?
Humans don’t float away into space, as in Frank in Kubric’s “2001: A Space Odyssey”, because the Earth’s gravity acts on our body mass Yes, mass is directly proportional to weight, the product of mass multiplied by the Earth’s gravitational acceleration Cheer up, on Mars you would weigh about 60 percent less! Standard Model Confirmation and Extensions The best description of the
- Tetraquarks: new configurations of subatomic particles discovered
Researchers using the Large Hadron Collider at CERN say they’ve recently discovered a new exotic form of subatomic particles called tetraquarks They exist for just fractions of a second, so they’re hard to spot and study But, luckily, University of Cambridge physicist Harry Cliff, is working on the experiment that discovered them, as he described to Chris Smith

What is the symmetry? Four dimensional rotations in Lorentz space Now let's take a look at the quark model The quark model, which is a model for the inside of the proton, has three quirks If you rotate three quark among themselves, the equations remain the same It's symmetrical under something called SU (3)
- The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) | Science Features
The nucleus itself is made up of smaller particles, protons and neutrons, which in turn are made up of the 1st generation quarks - the up quark and the down quark The electron-neutrino is a neutral and almost massless particle that is spat out of nuclei during beta decay

And the charge of a quark comes in multiples of a third of the charge of the electron So, there are other examples of theories where you get a precise mathematical relation between the charges of things I suspect, it's probably due to that, rather than I don't know, there being a billion universes and you just pick at random one where we can
- If black holes stops time does white hole accelerate time?
It could be an imbalance in the distribution of quark charge This repulsive effect would still be operating under the influence of extreme time dilation In the frame of reference of the white hole this would be undetectable as proper time would be unaffected
