Quark Soup

The article that I read was “Quark Soup” and the sentence that opened it was what really caught my attention, “Physicists create conditions not seen since the big bang.”  The two labs mentioned in this article I had heard of before, Fermilab, and Cern. Fermilab is located here in the United States and Cern is in Switzerland. Fermilab had a small particle collider and Cern had the large Hadron Collider. But between the two, Fermilab had been the first to learn that gravity particles, when smashed, that some disappear.

But that wasn’t in the article, I went off subject, but that’s how this article relates to the parallel universes idea.

Fermilab discovered a quark, well, the top quark. But they know that there are actually six quarks. But the last quark that anyone knew of only lasted one microsecond, and that was in a quark soup.

Quark soup is made by melting protons and neutrons.

But quark actually comes from the big bang, which only occurs when a new parallel universe is created.

But I really enjoyed reading this article and learning about a new thing. This article was published on the Newsweek website on February 15, 2010. But, there was a lot that I didn’t know, like that you could actually melt protons and neutrons.  I didn’t think that was really possible.

Well now I think that we may be able to find out if another universe was created, just when we find quark, if it comes here and we find it.

Theory of Anything

“Theory of Anything?” was published on the Slate website, on November 23, 2005. This article was about string theory. Well more likely about the fact that he did not believe in string theory. His name is Lawrence Krauss. He’s a physics professor, and an astronomer at a university. He wrote a book called “Hiding in the Mirror.”

But, Krauss does not believe in string theory, because it couldn’t be tested. He believes that they string theory is for suckers. But in the article he talks about “General Theory of Relativity” and quantum mechanics.

But, string theory cannot be tested like how they tested the relativity theory and quantum mechanics. So in his eyes, it isn’t really a theory, it’s just a hope for a theory. But until it can be tested it’s not really anything in the real world.

The theory of relativity was that matter and gravity were equivalent, and that matter was basically pulling everything together. This theory was great, from 1905-1915.

The theory of quantum mechanics lasted from 1900-1927, and in that period, it was what was really worked on. And this was the theory that momentum and the position of a particle could not be determined at the same time.

And string theory was from 1969 to now and it is still being worked on. String theory is the “Theory of everything” and I think that it does exist. But I really enjoyed this article. It was interesting, and something that I had not read before.
