The smallest-ever force field map of nature.

Physicists have mapped the forces acting inside a #proton, showing in unprecedented detail how #quarks—the tiny #particles within—respond when hit by high-energy #photons.

The new result breaks down #space and #time into a fine grid, allowing simulating how the strong force—the fundamental interaction that binds quarks into #protons and #neutrons—varies across different regions inside the proton.

Phys.org · Scientists map the forces acting inside a protonBy Rhiannon Koch

Quarks are fundamental particles thought to be permanently confined within protons, neutrons, and other composite particles. Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) theory suggests that separating quarks requires immense energy, increasing confinement rather than allowing separation. While strong evidence supports that quarks are bound this way, absolute proof is still elusive. If quark confinement were ever disproven, it would challenge our understanding of particle physics. #Quarks #QCD #ParticlePhysics

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.

Sehr informatives Video über Methanemissionen: youtube.com/watch?v=zHePbtDMJn

In dem Video wird auch gezeigt das Landwirtschaft die größten Methanemissionen hat.
Desweiteren wird in der Landwirtschaft ein "technisches" Potential von 20 bis 25% Methanemissionsreduktionen durch eine modifizierte Ernährung von Rindern, verändertes Tierfutter, auffangen von Methanemissionen und andere Tierrassen mit geringeren Methanemissionen angesprochen.

Aber wisst ihr was am allermeisten bringt?
Weniger Tiere und Tierprodukte essen!

Dabei sollte die Last natürlich nicht auf den Schultern des Individums lasten. Dies wäre insbesondere mit einer deutlich höheren Besteuerung von Tierprodukten möglich, und einer niedrigeren für Pflanzen und gesunden Produkten aus Pflanzen.

Guten Morgen - Tässle Kaffee ☕️?

Auch heute ist für #Zehra & mich ein #Ramadan-Fastentag; denn als christlich-muslimisches Paar (mit 3 Kindern) versuchen wir, auch religiöse Zeiten gemeinsam zu begehen.

Mir ist völlig klar, dass dies vielen Säkularen „nur sinnlos“ erscheint, aber auch wissenschaftlich zeigt sich: Gemeinsame Rituale, Gebote stärken die Gemeinschaften. Auch #Religion erwuchs (und erwächst!) durch #Evolution. Wirkte dazu mal bei #Quarks & Co. mit: m.youtube.com/watch?v=Iy9J9dde

#ICYMI: On July 5, 2022, #CERN announced the discovery of three new exotic particles, one of which is a pentaquark while the other two are tetraquarks. With this discovery, physicists hope to better understand how quarks bind with each other to form various particles underlying the bedrock of particle physics.

• Tetraquarks - two quarks and two antiquarks.

• Pentaquarks - four quarks and an antiquark.

Physicists know very little about the internal structure of these exotic particles & how they could resemble molecules—a proton bound to a meson, for example—or simply be a tightly bound collection of quarks. Studying tetraquarks and pentaquarks could improve our knowledge of quantum chromodynamics—the theory of how quarks interact with each other.
