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.

#TimeTravel (#retrograde) is transporting anything into the #past: a #person, a #quantum #signal, a #thought.

Resulting from some combination of:

#Wormholes
#DarkEnergy & #DarkMatter
#ManyWorlds & #Multiverse
#Tachyons & faster-than-light (superluminal) #particles
#Consciousness may involve quantum processes in the #brain

❛❛ There's like this hidden #Quantum realm where the #waves exist, and then the world that we can see which is where all the waves are turned into #particles, and the barrier between these is a #measurement. [It -- the measurement] collapses the #WaveFunction. ❜❜

…"The #Amplituhedron looks like an intricate, multifaceted jewel in higher #dimensions. Encoded in its #volume are the most basic features of reality that can be calculated, “scattering amplitudes,” which represent the likelihood that a certain set of #particles will turn into certain other particles upon #colliding

"The Possibilities for Dark Matter have just Shrunk — by a lot"
by Emily Conover for #ScienceNews

"Scientists have just slashed the potential hiding spaces for dark matter particles.

The LUX-ZEPLIN, or LZ, experiment has searched for & ruled out the existence of #darkMatter #particles with a wide swath of properties [reported] August 26 at two conferences"…

Science News · The possibilities for dark matter have just shrunk — by a lot The LZ dark matter experiment has ruled out weakly interacting massive particles, or WIMPs, with a wide range of properties.

…"The trajectories of individual charged #particles leave behind #cloudy trails as they #ionize the cooled, supersaturated air-alcohol vapor inside this diffusion #cloudChamber. Alpha particles from the #radioactiveDecay of an inserted 2% #thorium alloy rod form dense condensation trails nearby"…
