    Summary:
    Everything you can see is made of up of the same fundamental particles. The best theory of fundamental particles and forces is the Standard model of particle physics.
    It’s really a collection of quantum field theories describing the strong, weak, electromagnetic force, & more. This video shows a different way to visualize the standard model.
    Physicist, Chris Quigg, conceptualized the visualization. To build an atom, we need quarks. Neutrons and protons are made of either 2 up and 1 down quarks, or 2 down and 1 up quarks respectively.
    The up quark has a charge of +2/3. The down quark has a charge of -1/3. So the total charge of protons is +1 & the total charge of neutrons is zero. We have two classes of matter particles, leptons and quarks. Matter particles have a property of spin - clockwise or counterclockwise.
    Depending on the spin in relation to its direction of motion, it is classified as right or left-handed. Quarks come in both types, left & right-handed. Left handed up and down quarks can transform into each other via an interaction of the weak force. This is called a charged weak force interaction and is mediated by a W+ boson or a W- boson. For unknown reasons, this interaction does NOT happen with right handed quarks. This means that right-handed quarks cannot change into other quarks and remain the same particle always.
    The quarks also have a color charge, red, blue, and green. This charge allows quarks to interact via the strong force, which is mediated by a boson - the gluon. This interaction allows 3 quarks of different colors to be bound together to make a proton or neutron in the nucleus of atoms.
    Quarks by themselves can never be observed, since only colorless particles can be observed. A colorless particle can be formed only by either combining quarks of 3 different colors, or by combining quarks & anti-quarks.
    These color rules come from the strong force. We force is shown as a triangle between the different colors. Note that the strong force does not discriminate between left and right handedness.
    This strong force is mediated by particle called the gluons - 8 different ones with different combinations of color. Gluons act as a mechanism to transfer colors from one quark to another.
    The second class of matter particles are leptons. There are two types - electrons with a charge of -1, and neutrinos with 0 charge. the charged weak force on works with left handed electrons and neutrinos.
    Both left-handed and right-handed electrons exist, but only left handed neutrinos exist. Leptons do not have any color charge,
    There are 15 particles so far. But for unknown reasons the universe contains 3 generations of particles. Each generation contains the same number of particles. So there are a total of 45. The only difference between them is that each generation is heavier than the other.
    Regarding non-matter particles, the bosons, the strong force is mediated by gluons which only interacts with colored particles. Electric charge is mediated by photons, which interacts will all matter particles. The weak force interacts with only left-handed matter particles.
    A 3rd boson is involved in weak interactions - Z boson, with 0 electrical charge. The Z only transfers momentum, spin and energy between particles. This is called a "weak neutral current." The neutral weak and electromagnetic force can interact with both left- and right-handed particles.
    Finally, the Higgs boson gives mass to all massive particles. It connects to all of them, except neutrino, so their apparent mass is a mystery. The Higgs doesn’t care about right and left-handedness. Glouns and photons do not interact with Higgs, so have 0 mass.
    The final count is 58 - 45 matter particles, 8 gluons, 3 weak bosons, 1 photon and 1 Higgs. This number rises to 103 if antimatter particles are included
    #particlephysics
    #quantumphysics
    Note that the standard model only tells us what the visible universe is made of - dark matter, dark energy, neutrino masses, quantum gravity & matter-antimatter asymmetry are unanswered.

However, quarks cannot be seen as isolated particles; they exist only in groupings, and stable groupings of quarks (such as a proton, which consists of three quarks) all have charges that are integer multiples of e. For this reason, either 1 e or 1/3 e can be justifiably considered to be "the quantum of charge", depending on the context. This charge commensurability, "charge quantization", has partially motivated Grand unified Theories.

    This was excellent BUT, you can't do this without explaining that "color" is just a metaphor. Color is a characteristic of quarks that happens to be similar to the way three characteristics of light can combine to make white. Once you understand that, QCD works well enough -- though I still think a musical metaphor might have been better.

    I'm happy that you didn't use 'cyan,' 'magenta,' 'yellow,' or 'white' when discussing color charges! 👍
    In the previous century, popular science articles used to carry the color analogy much further. They seamlessly mixed terminology from optics into QCD, adding and subtracting QCD color charges and giving them color names from the optical color wheel 😵. Not only did it confuse a whole generation of science rookies, it gave _me_ - who knew the physics of photography and color optics - the impression that I knew a whole lot more QCD than I actually did! 😂

    • @randommcranderson5155
      @randommcranderson5155 2 ปีที่แล้ว +24

      I think the biggest thing to discuss there is that the colours in quantum chromodynamics don't refer to actual colours - they're just a way to label the 3 'types' of quarks as it relates to whatever the fundamental property that colour charge is actually describing. The colour is just a label.

      @carultch 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Color charge of quarks has nothing to do with actual color. We just use it as a label, because that is something that we are already familiar with that comes in triplets, and adds up to a neutral color called white. It is no different than if there was a third word to go with the concept of positive and negative, such that a balanced mix of the three color charges would add up to zero.

    • @jakublizon6375
      @jakublizon6375 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Is it really that hard to remember that QCD colors have nothing to do with optics? I guess I'm not in the field of optics, so I get spared lol It just means 3 different "strong force charges" or "color charges" combine to a neutral strong force/color cheyge. That's how symmetry groups are determined. SU1 because EM only relies on electric charge, SU2 because the weak force uses isospin and weak hypercharge, and SU3 for the three color charges

    The statement "each quark needs to be a different color" is the same language we use in atoms "Each electron needs to be in a different spin state in a sub-shell". Both are useful, but wrong (but not too wrong to stop).
    Just like the spins, the color wavefunction needs to flip sign on interchange of any two fermions. That means the quarks in a proton have entangled colors:
    [(RGB) + (GBR) + (BRG) - (BGR) - (RBG) - (GRB)]/sqrt(6)
    where the colors label quarks (1,2,3) respectively. You can't do this 1, 2, or 4 quarks...hence none of those states exists in nature.

      Everything in the universe seems to be created in pairs or in binary format (I.e. matter/antimatter, up quark/ down quark, left handed/right handed, males/females, binary stars, binary fission, etc). Apparently this is a universal law. The holy Quran indicates of this law of nature:
      “And We have created all things in pairs so that you may give heed (to the wonderful creation of God)” chapter 51 verse 49
      Apparently the law of parity testifies to the oneness of the creator and draws the line between the creator and the creations. This is captured beautifully in the holy Quran that gives the ultimate description of God and the true meaning of Monotheism. Chapter Al Ikhlas:
      1.“ Say, “He is God, the One.
      2. God, the Absolute.
      3. He begets not, nor was He begotten.
      4. And there is none comparable to Him.”
      Everything in the universe has its identical or match whether it’s an electron, a quark, a man, a star, etc. All pairs begets and are begotten (even atomic particles when smashed or created inside a particles collider). It’s only God (the creator) that distinguishes himself from the behavior or the nature of his creation. He has No incarnation. No personification. And there is nothing like him.

    At 11:15 when you state that Leptons aren't observed to change flavors, I have to ask - what about Neutrino Oscillation? I was under the impression that Electron/Muon/Tau Neutrinos cycled between the three varieties according to the current model, which explained the relative equal numbers of each detected from various sources where, if oscillation did not occur, we might only expect to see one flavor.

    • @ArvinAsh
      @ArvinAsh  2 ปีที่แล้ว +33

      Well that is a good question. And I probably should have mentioned it. According to the standard model, these oscillations don't exist, just like according to the standard model, neutrinos should be massless. These 2 things are linked. But the fact that neutrinos do oscillate means that they have a non zero mass . This is contrary to what the Standard model says. So this tells us that the model is incomplete. There are mechanisms that are yet to be discovered that need to explain the neutrino behaviors. And this is an active area of research.

      @@ArvinAsh Fascinating! In the various coverage I'd seen, I wasn't aware that the existing Standard Model didn't allow for this as an option at all (as opposed to merely not predicting it).
      I'd also ask about the decay paths of the Muon and Tau into the Electron via the W- weak interaction (Muon into Mu-Neutrino and a paired Electron and Anti-Elec-Neutrino by the W- mechanism); though that seems more like a direct Weak flavor change from Muon to Mu-Neutrino and then the W- equivalent of energetic 'pair production', it seems relevant to the discussion of how particles can interact into other particles.
      The transition/decay of bosons into collections of fermions (photons doing traditional Pair Production; Gluons snapping into quark-antiquark pairs to preserve the colorless-observation requirement; whatever the heck the Weak Force is doing...) seems like an important part of the picture.

      @@HeavyMetalMouse Rather than saying it doesn't allow it at all, it is that the simplest form of the larger theory behind the standard model, Quantum Chromodynamics + electroweak quantum field theories, which don't allow for this. In effect a more complex version which doesn't zero out terms can be made which is effectively the standard model with slight variations whether you call it the standard model or not is arguably semantic.
      Right now from what I have read the strongest contender to explain the neutrino flavor oscillation behavior is the seesaw mechanism which proposes that left handed neutrinos gain mass due to their right handed counterparts coupling strongly with the Higgs field becoming very massive. The problem with testing this is that according to current theories there would be no way to ever theoretically test this since neutrinos according to the standard model can only ever interact with the weak nuclear force and according to observations gravity but gravity is so weak that at the particle level it becomes effectively undetectable. Naturally these right handed or "sterile" neutrinos are also a natural candidate for dark matter with the caveat that they are predicted to be perfectly unobservable short of creating one in a particle accelerator and noticing it via the apparently missing energy and momentum. Thus that leaves the only way to test this theory being to directly measure the individual neutrino masses which as mentioned above is effectively impossible due to gravity being so absurdly weak at the particle scale.

      about 5 years. You need classical mechanics (Hamiltonians, Lagrangians), then classical electro dynamics (E & B fields, waves, gauge symmetry), Quantum mechanics, Special Relativity. Combine the last two to get QFT: quantum field theory (almost everyone who breezed the other classes finds this topic challenging...though there are exceptions (not me)). With QFT you can take QED, quantum electrodynamics...a real theory with real predictions: learn how to do calculations.
      I think you need a nuclear physics class, to get isospin under the belt. It's the 1st introduction to Lie group symmetries in physics. It can also introduce symmetry breaking and Goldstone Bosons.
      From there you can study Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), which introduces Yang-Mills theories.
      Then, you learn about the Weak Interaction: it ruins _everything_ : flavor symmetry, chiral symmetry, parity symmetry (P), charge conjugation symmetry (C), time-symmetry (T) via CP-violation. It mixes generations and makes life in the universe (and solar fusion, and supernovae) possible.
      Then electro-weak unification, the Weinberg-Salam model, and the Higgs mechanism.
      Ok, make that seven (7) years. And: you MUST do the homework problems! That's the hard part. It takes effort. And like learning a musical instrument; you'll sweat and suffer, and some 14 y/o kid will show up and smoke you with crazy talent.
      The good news is: you can skip general relativity (hard) and thermodynamics (hard)...but you won't. You will suffer.

    The right handed quarks has no W/weak charges because it's the other side of the same equalizer and since left has 1 charge, right is 0 charge, 0 in this case does not mean nothing, 0 in this case means reversed. Anything lower than the weakest charge is neutralized hence right has no charge. Electrical charges are like equalizers or volumes of sounds ; 0, 1, 2, 3 and so on , the greater the volume the stronger the charge, 0 is like Neutrinos, it has mass because 0 is not nothing in the electrical field, 0 is the beginning/first step/square one, the first step only has one step therefore one cannot create charges only when there's a second step there will be charges. But it's not nothing, it still has mass.

There are several reductions of the number "elementary" particles you mention: 1) antiparticles are just particles in a loop, moving back in Lab time; 2) The 3 generations are just different finite geometry representations of the basic baryons (Platonic symmetries, as finite subgroups of SU2); 3) the RBG colors are just labels for a 3D-quark frame of the fundamental rep. of SU(2); electrons have a 4th color: T; together with quarks form a 3+1 D frame (quaternionic; or Hopf bundle); their other geometry mu, tau, can be derived from basic one; 4) Gravity is a correction to EM within the quark force (nuclear force), quark spin dependent; 5) Weak force is not really a force, and transitions can be modeled via representation theory (finite geometries); gluons correspond to a basis of SU2 x SU2* (meson bonds between nucleons), or "vibration modes" of a baryon.

      I like to think of it like the particles are the tips of the ice burg, the rest of the wave is huge and the photon for example just has a little bit hanging over the threshold to become visible at a point where the wave itself is much larger. So light has energy as a wave and for some reason that light becomes highly focused at the tip, so we call it a particle when pointing at the visible tip of light. In reality the wave could be infinity large so its power distribution is spread out and we cannot locate or see it as distinct from anything else.
