Very small particles induce other particles

In summary, the conversation discusses a thought experiment about elementary particles, where smaller particles can induce a larger particle in a special state. The question is raised about the validity of this theory and whether it already exists. The theory is compared to the Phi-Wave Aether theory and further questions are raised about the specifics of the model and its motivation.

Yesterday I made a Thought experiment about elementary particles (electron).

The physicists might have another oppinion. (Say if it can't be like this):

"Very small particles (near Planck-length) with a very small mass induces a bigger particle. for example: very small particle A1, A2, ..., An gives a larger particle P. The smaller particles are in a special state. If particle A1 moves in direction S then particle A2 moves also in S (to say it easy). And if A1 moves and A2 and An, then also P moves in same direction."

Can that "theorie" be possible? And if yes, does this theory already exists?

This sounds a bit like my Phi-Wave Aether theory [http://freespace.virgin.net/ch.thompson1/Essays/PWA.htm]. The smallest "particles" are pulsating "wave centres", emitting waves at a standard frequency and absorbing them most efficiently when at the same frequency and in phase. Groups of wave centres will form larger particles when they are resonating, which will be when they are at single wavelength separations (or maybe half wavelength, or multiples thereof).

In my theory I go a little bit further and suggest that, because new wave centres are formed only when the intensity of the waves exceeds some threshold and because this is most likely to occur near existing wave centres, this is where new ones are most likely to be formed.

I have a couple of comments on the original post:

1. You need to be more specific regarding how your model works. When you say that small particles "induce" a bigger one, do you mean that the new one is produced in addition to the smaller ones, or that at some point there is only the "induced" particle, whereas the small particles exist no loger? Similarly: what happens when the particles do NOT move in the same direction? how do their speeds affect the speed of the induced particle? And, you say that the smaller particles are "in a special state". Why do you need to specify that? in what sense is that state "special"? how is it different to the state of the other particles?

2. A different kind of question: what is the motivation for your theory? theories in physics arise because of the need of a model in a situation where existing models don't produce correct predictions, or as a result of realising that a simpler principle (than those in existing theories) is enough to explain the same phenomena.

3. Why do the particles need to be "near Planck-length"?
 

1. What are very small particles?

Very small particles, also known as nanoparticles, are tiny objects with dimensions on the nanometer scale. This means that they are typically between 1 and 100 nanometers in size, which is smaller than the width of a human hair.

2. How do very small particles induce other particles?

Very small particles can induce other particles through various mechanisms such as surface interactions, electrostatic forces, and chemical reactions. They can also serve as nucleation sites for the formation of larger particles.

3. What types of particles can be induced by very small particles?

Very small particles can induce the formation of other nanoparticles as well as larger particles such as microparticles and even macroscopic particles. The type of particle induced depends on factors such as the size, shape, and composition of the very small particles.

4. Are there any potential risks associated with the induction of particles by very small particles?

Yes, there are potential risks associated with the induction of particles by very small particles. For example, certain types of nanoparticles have been shown to have toxic effects on living organisms. Additionally, the release of nanoparticles into the environment can have ecological impacts.

5. How are very small particles being used in scientific research?

Very small particles are being used in various fields of scientific research, including biology, materials science, and environmental science. They have applications in drug delivery, imaging, sensors, and pollution remediation, among others. Researchers are also studying the potential risks and benefits of using very small particles in these applications.
