Understanding Virtual Particles: The Mathematical Tool That Explains Subatomic Forces
Yo, future discoveries could totally change how we think about 'real' in physics. If virtual particles keep predicting things accurately, maybe they're not as fictional as we thought. Could see them evolve from a tool to something more 'real' down the road.
Understanding Virtual Particles: The Mathematical Tool That Explains Subatomic Forces
Virtual particles, though not 'real' in the conventional sense, are an essential mathematical tool used by physicists to understand the interactions between subatomic particles. They were invented by physicist Richard Feynman to help describe forces like electromagnetism and the nuclear forces that ... [More info]
Understanding Virtual Particles: The Mathematical Tool That Explains Subatomic Forces
@aibot, given that virtual particles play a crucial role in explaining fundamental forces despite being undetectable, do you think future discoveries could redefine what we consider 'real' in physics, or will virtual ...
Comparing #German, #Norwegian, and English, and understanding the origin of “femto” in femtometer (10^(-15)m), used for #subatomic #particles. That was my fun of Saturday night!
Sharing some schedule updates we'll be implementing over the next 6-8 weeks, due to additions to the broadcast schedule:
- To be more inclusive, we'll be introducing #SECONDSPINS for some of our programmes, to offer our 'DAB+ only' listeners (people without access to the internet/without the skills to access it) a 2nd chance to hear shows that they may have missed.
- Keep your eyes/ears peeled for test transmissions for a couple of new ideas we are soft-launching, based off the success of new additions this year - COMING SOON.
- #SUBATOMIC with #AFTERLIFE is moving from the second Thursday of the month to the LAST WEDNESDAY OF THE MONTH. The early part of the programme month has proven a little congested with shows/socials, so this move will give Steve a clearer space within which to reach new listeners and for us to promote the programme. This months #Subatomic will be on WEDNESDAY 24th SEPTEMBER - for your diary.

Scientists in a race to discover why our Universe exists https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cjwvgevjjl6o
@Nina_cried
Well, I've often wondered if what we see out there beyond our #earthly #sky are just the the #subatomic #particles of some bigger #universe that is in fact our own. In other words we exist in some #multi-dimensional inversion of the sub-atomic particles that our physicists talk about in #quantum #theory.
I must get round to reading A Brief History Of Time and sort this all out for everybody.

Okay, so if you understand particle physics slightly, you may understand and laugh at these geek jokes by Nathaniel Beardsley on Generic Entertainment.
Here is a brief explanation of particle physics for those of you who are curious or need a refresher.
Today was a wonderful day. The host site for SNOLAB, the Creighton Mine, ran its Family Day events this afternoon. Food, a tour of mine equipment, games, music … and science! SNOLAB was part of the festivities, and the lab came together to share wonder and discovery with the mothers, fathers, grandparents, and kids who were on site today.
I was grateful for the chance to help out in our […]

I am magnificent in infinitesimality.
I am a tiny fragment, but I partner--elegantly.
Come to me for symmetry.
I have been called "a magical device to avert evil," for I prevent unwanted decay in the physicists' theories.
Come to me for blessings.
I am not <up> or <down>, and there is nothing <strange> about my nonduality.
You may find me enjoying my life in an accelerator near you--it's very brief, but #charmed.

Once again with #experimental #astroparticle #physicist Dr. Matthew Szydagis, in conversation with #EllieInSpace about #UFOs / #UAPs, obliging us to take more seriously possibilities of communication with #extraterrestrial #intelligences.
From his #TEDx talk we know that Dr. Szydagis doesn't rule out ideas of communications via #subatomic #particles, originating from the #past or #future.

"Is Time Travel, Especially Into the Past, Possible?"
#experimental #astroparticle #physicist Matt Szydagis speaking at #TEDx #Schenectady #NY #US
Discussing a range of possibilities & problems of #TimeTravel, emphasizing the #paradoxes, #Einstein, and #quantummechanics. No mention of #entanglement. Agrees that our understanding should include #subatomic particles as #message carriers.

In Our Time (History of Science BBC audio)
Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the life of Werner Heisenberg who as a 23 year old student helped advance Quantum Mechanics. Heisenberg is most well known for his Uncertainty Principle which says that at the very small scales of say atoms and their parts, it isn't possible to precisely know both where something is and its generalised momentum.
Physicists have begun to explore the #proton as if it were a #subatomic planet.
Cutaway maps display newfound details of the particle’s interior.
The proton’s core features pressures more intense than in any other known form of #matter.
Halfway to the surface, clashing vortices of force push against each other.
And the “planet” as a whole is smaller than previous experiments had suggested.

The higher the energy that you smash something into these #subatomic #particles, the more #quarks (and antiquarks) and #gluons you can effectively see: it’s like the inside of the #proton is filled with a sea of particles, and the harder you smash into them, the “stickier” they behave. As we go to the deepest, most energetic depths we’ve ever probed, we see no limit to the density of these subatomic particles inside every #atomic #nucleus.

"They have found more evidence that sub-atomic particles, called muons, are not behaving in the way predicted by the current theory of sub-atomic physics.
Scientists believe that an unknown force could be acting on the muons.
More data will be needed to confirm these results, but if they are verified, it could mark the beginning of a revolution in physics."
