Requirements: .ePUB, .PDF, .MOBI/.AZW reader, 6 MB
Overview: Practical Particle Physics presents a practical approach for the science of subatomic particle physics.
Most know everything is made from combinations of atoms, which are made of only 3 simple particles, the electron, neutron, and proton, in different quantities.
The Large Hadron Collider creates high velocity collisions of particles.
Scientists working in this field currently devote much of their time trying to understand quarks, or the fragments of the proton and neutron.
Many of these fragments are analyzed with the expectation something useful will result. Unfortunately, these fragments are like debris after an automobile crash which cannot explain how its motor runs. Quarks cannot explain a proton’s mass.
Particle physics also has a known problem called the atomic mass defect. This term refers to the difference in the mass of an atom between what is measured and what is expected when summing the mass of all the subatomic particles within that particular atom.
Every element in the periodic table exhibits this difference. It is called a defect and currently lacks a verifiable explanation, as only a simplistic conversion of mass to energy.
