      Atoms are 99% empty space. Inherently making humanity void walkers. Atoms behave differently while under observation. Atoms can have multiple super positions at a single moment. The atoms in your body are quantum entangled to inanimate matter. Where do I end and the universe begins? Am I the dream or the dreamer. Is this freewill or fate? Nothing matters, everything matters, neither do, and so do all other possibilities. Man believes the world is built on order. But this is a falsehood. The natural state of the universe is chaos and entropy.

    Grad school particle physicist here. This video is very good as an introductory, you touch on the basics of both experimental and theoretical particle physics (i.e. Feynman diagrams and detector analysis).
    Another interesting fact about how the detector work is how we find unmeasurable particles, which is mainly neutrinos. We build the detector in such a way that at the beginning of the interaction there is only momentum in the Z-axis and through conservation of momentum in the XY plane, we know that the final state particles' momentum should sum up to zero in the XY plane.
    This does not occur and we can assign the missing momentum to be a neutrino, or even neutrinos according to what we assume the interactions were in this event.

    Learning for yourself as opposed to for a class makes such a difference in enjoyment and learning retention. When I was a senior in college and about to get my math degree, I took the complex analysis series. These two classes were taught by a professor who didn't require us to do homework assignments. We could still do them, but they didn't count towards our grade. While not the same as simply studying for your own enjoyment, it did remove the energy drain of having to work on weekly homeworks, and because of that I felt I was more prepared for the midterm and final exams because I was putting more time into understanding what I was learning versus working through five pages of problems the day before the homework was due. I remember that series as the most interesting math classes I took while in undergrad, and I attribute it to the unique structure of the class that the professor used.

      There is plenty of reasoning in QFT and particle physics books... that won't be your problem, but the math will always be. It's just irreducibly complex because the physics is complex. Personally I find Gordon Kane's "Modern Elementary Particle Physics" slightly easier to read than Griffiths' book, but nothing is "really easy", I am afraid.

    Hai parth, i always am confused about the path of the virtual photon, coz it seems consuming no time to be exchanged? Is that really the case?

    • @TerryBollinger
      @TerryBollinger 2 года назад

      Sir Knight, pretty much yes, but with qualifiers. As Feynman himself noted -- I think it was in his delightful QED book? -- at sufficiently small scales, getting the right mathematical result requires adding a small-but-not-zero probability for _instantaneous_ photon exchanges to the Feynman sum. The qualifier is that by the time you add up all the possible paths needed to predict real events using classical equipment, the odds of an actual instantaneous photon exchange drop effectively to zero.
      More importantly,, if you look at the instantaneous photon exchange component in terms of _information_ exchange, its impact always falls exactly to zero. That is, you can never use it to send signals faster than light speed. This same "no signals allowed" constraint is seen in quantum entanglement, where one can never send signals faster than light despite how the Bell inequality messes with our usual idea of what's local and what isn't.

  • @protocol6
    @protocol6 2 года назад

    I've been trying to figure out how particle physics assigns any given particle as matter or antimatter. I'm concerned it's just a historical artifact. Clearly the asignment of positivie vs negative overall is arbitrary but, for the other signed properties, like charge, there's an obvious and testable consistency across the full particle zoo. I've been unable to determine if or how the matter/antimatter sign is consistent across different particles -- e.g. how you know that you have the electron sign the same way around as the up quark or if it the electron should be in the same category as the antiup quark. I feel it's an important question because, if you flip the assignment of one row of quarks (swap up/charm/top with antiup/anticharm/antitop in the chart and rename them), it seems to rather neatly simplify multiple conservation laws (lepton, baryon, quark numbers) down to just charge conservation (I went through a lot of the weirder experimental decay results to check that) and devolves the matter/antimatter assignment to simply charge sign. I can't believe I'm not missing something, however.
    This would also impact calculations on the possibility that antimatter could have negative mass but absolute inertial mass. Most think not but if you swap those quarks, it changes the expectations for a number hadrons. The absolute inertial mass avoids a problem with infinite acceleration with negative mass and can be justified by analogy with the electromagnetic equivalent of inertia, self-inductance. An accelerating charged particle, regardless of charge sign, will experience a resistance to acceleration (in addition to any due to its inertial mass) from its induced magnetic field. GEM has the same feature on the gravitational side which should actually be inertia. That kind of thing (self-interaction) is what particle physicists like to throw out with renormalization, I believe. Yes, I know that some definitions of inertia can cover both of those things but you have to make some odd assumptions about classical particle size to convert charge to energy in a way that matches the observed contribution to inertia.

    • @FermionPhysics
      @FermionPhysics 2 года назад +1

      Great question. It requires some quantum field theory. The distinction between which ones we call particle vs antiparticle like you implied is just convention. A nice example is the complex scalar field. The complex scalar field has components a(k) and b(k). When each of these acts on a state, they output particle and antiparticle states respectively. So that’s a brief explanation of how it works.

    • @protocol6
      @protocol6 2 года назад

      @@FermionPhysics Thanks for the pointer. I'll look into that some more. That changes the question to, could you swap things such that the matter-antimatter distinction matches the charge sign without breaking QFT. I expect as formulated, no, but it'd take some checking to see if such a change could be propagated with related changes so things still work in an altered but mostly equivalent form.

      @TerryBollinger 2 года назад +1

      Anirudh, take a pen and balance it on end in the middle of a map. A fraction of a second later it falls, but which way? The balanced pen was _symmetric_ with respect to all possible map directions, making no distinctions between them. However, the fallen pen _breaks_ that symmetry by randomly ("spontaneously") picking out a specific map direction.
      No matter how complicated the math may look, all versions of "spontaneous symmetry breaking" include some version of the pencil-drop scenario. You begin with a state that shows no preferences: the balanced pencil. You then add an energy "incentive" that destabilizes the symmetric state: gravity, in the case of the pencil. Finally -- and usually the most mysteriously -- you add a "perturbation" that upsets the balance and is amplified by the energy incentive.
      That final point about "amplification" is worth noting, since it's always part of a symmetry-breaking process. Even if the initial "signal" is completely random and incredibly small, it is still drives the specifics for how the final break turns out. The energy incentive merely amplifies that signal enough to make it visible.

    Without the thought experiment imagery Stephen and myself and our peers over the last 40+ years could not have walked Quantum Theories at all.
    Even if you draw them on a blackboard it will help, it's hard to invent physics when you have to draw it happening.
    You can describe any hyper dimensional space using standard 3d spacial paradigms, The particles are no longer visible in our space, but one of the fundamentals of all our work is, even a hyper dimensional space still adheres to all the fundmental rules that our visible space adheres to.
    Watch out for great God of plus thinking, the + and - describe a special relativity connection between two particles, we call this behaviour the symmetry of our Universe, but it describes a two way tensor between two particles through space, and is the fundamental tensor that creates said symmetry.
    A hydrogen atom de-ionises in one second, also describes that two way spacial tensor.
    We call this the Higgs mechanism, or "Skin Theory", this is a brand new field we have been working on describing for the last 30 odd years, and it is hard to describe because we are no longer calling space a non contributing parameter, or in other words space no longer equals zero, which breaks our symmtery equations, obviously it does not break symmtery in reality though, so we have new math to find to describe these boundaries.
    It all comes back to compressed space physics, which is the fundamental rule of General Realtivity ...
    "If a particle takes 10 seconds to cross a space, it will still take 10 seconds if the space is compressed"
    This is time-dilation to the outside observer.
    "Time-Dilation" and "Compressed Space" are synonymouse statements and if they can't be transposed in any sentence using them then you don't understand General Relativity and Time-Dilation physics.
    The fact a photon can persist in space for 13.85 billion years when it has an expressed weight of +1 degree Celsius, implies particle temperatures inside that photon that are high enough to give that particle a 13.85 billion year and counting year life span.
    Temperature time dilation is a very well proven calc and is calculated as TD = (Temp in Celsius/5)^2 seconds to the observed one second.

    The irony of the symbol of physics ('representative' dot in a theoretical circle) being the symbol of metaphysics is pretty hilarious.
    What is less than a line (2 points)?
    0D = (point; non-composite; exact location only; zero size).
    The 1st four dimensions are 0D, 1D, 2D, 3D.
