Natural Science Forum / Physics / Particle Physics / February 2005Imaginaning an Atomic Nucleus
I find one of the most fundamental aspects of physics difficult to understand: charge. It drives me insane. Does anyone have an explanation to what a charge actually is? Are forces being emitted from the particle that interact with another particle in a specific way? Furthermore, has anyone satisfactorily visualised a charge? How can a fundamental particle have a charge? Why do different quarks have different charges? God it's frustrating. see my little site : http://www.geocities.com/porat_y/mypage.html you will see an 'Atomic nucleus' and at the end you will see how a circlon is expalaining *any* attraction force and at the same time can be 'a paerticle builder' it is nicely substanciated and can even do unprecedented predictions.

Yes, exactly, through the exchange of bosons appropriate to that interaction. The charge tells you the strength of the coupling to the boson. I would even venture to say that this strength tells you roughly how *often* the boson is emitted or absorbed by the particles. > Furthermore, has anyone satisfactorily visualised a charge?

No one knows *why* quarks have different charges, only that they do. What's more mysterious is why quarks have different masses, especially the top quark which is quite a bit heavier than the others. Supersymmetry (an untested theory) may provide the answer to that question. > God it's frustrating. Don't confuse interesting with frustrating, or even confounding with frustrating. PD Bosons emmited and absorbed?? but waht(you see- i am dislectic ...) are those Bosons and what is their way of movement?? it is certainly not a movement in a stright line! no physical entity that moves that way can produce any attraction force and no particle without mass either is able of doing any attraction force. in short - see my little site quoted in my last post especially the appendix. all the best Y.Porat ---------- Y.Porat ----------------------------- > Bosons emmited and absorbed?? > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > and no particle without mass either > is able of doing any attraction force. This is a common misunderstanding, and it stems from thinking of the exchange of bosons as the exchange of little hard balls. PD > in short - see my little site > quoted in my last post especially [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > Y.Porat > ----------------------------- i a mvery lucky with that misunderstanding of mine!! ok not little balls then what are they?? are they mesengers that are bigger than their 'mother'??!! btw PD if you what to see more about my misunderstandings have alook to at my little site: http://www.geocities.com/porat_y/mypage.html see for instance the unsuported idea about the Circlon a very basic particle that move naturally in a closed circle it is in the appendix if you tell me thast your bosons move in a curved circle then i start to 'buy ' your' merchandise btw if you accept my idea then the mediators messengers(even 'Bosons') do not have to have such a huge mass since the way they are doing in action is not the stright short line between acted particles but a much longer way - all around ie it is as if the distance between mediated particles is much longer !! how about that (occured to me just now .......) and that migh tbe done by much lighter meseengers all the best Y.Porat ------------------ ---------------- all the best Y.Porat ----------------------------- |
