Filling bag with elementary particles

In summary, the question asks if it is possible to create a bag made of particles with strong positive charge and electrons, and if we would be able to see a pile of electrons if we shot them into this bag. However, it is not possible as electrons would not reflect any visible light and the concept sounds similar to that of an atom.

Hello.This is probably totally stupid question, but anyway...

Is it possible to create bag made of particles with very strong positive charge and electrons using attracting force between them? If theoretically at least in some parallel universe yes, then if we keep shooting electrons inside this bag from some gun placed outside, and those electrons are being strongly attracted to heavily positively charged particles of bag (attracting force between electrons and positively charged particles is much stronger than repulsive force between electrons), would we be able to see small pile of electrons after shooting enormous amount of them?

Hey welcome to the forum. It's okay many beginners including myself have questions that may seem stupid without having sufficient information on the topic.
Unfortunately, no. First of all, you'd need a vacuum in order to have purely free electrons (so that they do not interact with the natural world). But even then, the size of an electron is so small that they would not reflect any wavelengths in the visible light spectrum.

Your "bag" sounds just like an atom?
 

1. What is the purpose of filling a bag with elementary particles?

The purpose of filling a bag with elementary particles is to study and understand the fundamental building blocks of matter. By isolating and studying these particles, scientists can gain insights into the laws and principles that govern the behavior of the universe.

2. How do scientists fill a bag with elementary particles?

Scientists use high-energy particle accelerators to create collisions that produce a variety of elementary particles. These particles are then collected and contained in a vacuum-sealed chamber, often referred to as a "bag", for further study.

3. What types of elementary particles can be found in a filled bag?

A filled bag of elementary particles can contain a variety of particles, including quarks, leptons, bosons, and anti-particles. These particles have different properties and interactions, and studying them helps scientists understand the fundamental forces of the universe.

4. How do scientists study the particles inside a filled bag?

Scientists use a variety of tools and techniques to study the particles inside a filled bag. These include particle detectors, such as the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, and advanced computer simulations that can help visualize and analyze the behavior of these particles.

5. What practical applications can be derived from studying filled bags of elementary particles?

The study of filled bags of elementary particles has led to many practical applications, such as the development of new medical imaging techniques and advancements in technology, including the development of computer chips. It also helps us understand the origins of the universe and potentially discover new particles that could have important implications for our understanding of the world.
