In summary, the conversation discusses the similarities and differences between particles, specifically subatomic particles, and how they are classified by their quantum numbers. The possibility of a single force model is also mentioned, but no confirmed answer has been found. The conversation also touches on the structure and shape of particles and how they are distinct from what they contain.

Particles
If the world is composed, at least partially of, particles, what makes them so similar? Like the buttons produced from the same mould. Electrons are all the same? Do they change a little bit in shape or structure?

The differences between subatomic particles are known as its quantum numbers... Such as flavors, and colors...

If you assume, like deBroglie did, that the electron is a real particle, this particle has an internal oscillation which causes the wave around it, you will not find an experiment, which contradicts this assumption.

Take the above quote from another forum together with the reply from quantum

The differences between subatomic particles are known as its quantum numbers... Such as flavors, and colors...

and look for the simplest arrangement that satisfies both assumptions. Current thinking uses four forces and mass, my own proposal is for a single force and a force carrier.
Because the numbers are the same for both arrangements, both are plausable; as would be any other proposal that matches both statements. The great problem lies in devising an experiment that proves one particular proposal to be correct.
My proposal does somethings that the four force model cannot do in that it offers a solution to the Galaxy gravity problem and shows a link between the wave structure of particles and larger bodies. However it is only right to point out that they have not received favourable comments from forum members so its back to the drawing board to try and find a better way of presenting my case.
Meanwhile the answer to your question is that there is no confirmed answer.

What i am trying to say is that the particles were produced as if by some standard production process to make them so similar. Is nature capable of such process?

The structure or shape of a particle is the basic mechanism of particles, not what they contain, like a cup, what a cup contain has nothing to do with the shape of the cup, even though what a cup contain often appear along with the cup.
 

1. How do particles make up the world?

Particles are the fundamental building blocks of all matter. They combine to form atoms, which then combine to form molecules, and so on. Everything in the world, from the tiniest microbe to the largest mountain, is made up of particles.

2. What are the different types of particles?

There are two main categories of particles: subatomic particles and composite particles. Subatomic particles are the smallest particles that make up atoms, such as protons, neutrons, and electrons. Composite particles are made up of combinations of subatomic particles, such as atoms and molecules.

3. How do particles interact with each other?

Particles interact with each other through four fundamental forces: gravity, electromagnetism, strong nuclear force, and weak nuclear force. These forces determine how particles are attracted, repelled, or bound together, and are responsible for all the physical interactions we observe in the world.

4. What is the relationship between particles and energy?

According to Einstein's famous equation E=mc², particles and energy are equivalent and can be converted into one another. This means that particles not only make up the physical world, but they also carry energy and can release or absorb it through interactions with other particles.

5. How do we study particles?

Scientists use a variety of tools and techniques to study particles, including particle accelerators, detectors, and computer simulations. By observing how particles behave under different conditions, we can gain a better understanding of their properties and the laws that govern their interactions.
