Ah, I didn't notice that! I had assumed it was the force within a nucleon, i.e. between quarks.
Okay, so the EM force becomes important again even within the hadron?
There is also a repulsive force from the gluons when quarks get too close. Do higher-mass quarks run into that limit if they get too close? Or is the gluon interaction distances different for these other quarks?
Would baryons not made with standard Up or Down quarks exhibit smaller radii than neutrons and protons? I'm thinking like for example how muons have much smaller orbitals than electrons, on the lepton side of things.
I didn't realize that QG plasma and Q soup were different things? I had assumed they were synonyms. What distinguishes them?
Aren't Hyperons just Baryons with Strange quarks in them? So wouldn't Lambda-0 and Sygma-0 particles be Hyperons too?
I wasn't sure if I should post this in astrophysics or particle physics, so I'll try particle physics first, mods feel free to move it to a more appropriate forum. So I was wondering if hypothetical Strange stars exist, would the strange quarks arrange themselves into baryons (i.e. Lambda-0 or...
Now, it's been said that the majority of the entropy in the universe resides within the cumulative entropy of black holes inside the universe. How do they know that?
Now, I'm not so interested in how they determine the black hole's entropy, I know there's a relatively simple formula for that...
Are radio refractive indexes just directly computed from their electrical permittivity? Optical refractive indexes don't seem to have such a straightforward relationship.
It's been stated that the index of refraction of materials varies with frequency throughout the EM spectrum. What are the index of refraction for various materials in the radio frequency?
No, I understand, I don't really need an explanation from QED, just wanted a confirmation about whether magnetic fields come in high energy form like which would require things like X-rays or gamma rays? So you seem to be stating that yes, indeed they do, right?
Well, what is the highest frequencies we've gotten magnetic fields to move at? You'd think something like neutron stars could produce really high speed magnetic frequencies, but they seem to be only producing radio frequencies. Have we gotten optical-frequency magnetic fields in labs somewhere?
