Would a quark-gluon plasma reflect x rays and gamma rays
and would such a plasma exist in gamma ray bursters and black holes?
and would such a plasma exist in gamma ray bursters and black holes?
Entropy said:Um... I'm pretty sure quarks interact via the EM force as well as the strong force. So it is possible they can reflect some type of EM waves. Whether it will be x-rays or gamma rays I don't know.
kurious said:I was wondering if a short gamma ray burst could be attributed to a quark-gluon plasma forming briefly and then reflecting light towards Earth - especially if a concave cavity of some kind formed in an exploding star.
No way. EM does not interact with the strong force.
Chronos said:It is impossible for a quark to carry an electrical charge. It can only carry a 1/3 charge potential.
kurious said:Do binary stars ever become supernovae simultaneously?
This will happen quite often (most stars are in binary systems, not alone like the Sun). IIRC, it's been modeled in some detail; the answer is 'it depends' Sufficiently far away, the other star merely suffers a severe case of sunburn; closer it depends on how dense the star is - a red giant will have a considerable part of its atmosphere ripped away; a white dwarf will merely suffer a gentle, warm breeze (though the total matter dumped onto it may lead to some interesting fireworks).kurious said:CHRONOS:
That is unlikely. The mechanism for forming a concave reflective cavity is not possible under current theory.
Kurious:
What if a supernovae explosion impacted on another star nearby?
I very well may have this all wrong, so please feel free to set me straight. My comments were founded on the premise EM interactions are transacted solely through photon exchanges. Quarks in unbound states [which can only exist under quark-gluon plasma conditions] cannot absorb or produce photons, only gluons.selfAdjoint said:1) The quarks carry electric charge, the same kind of electric charge that the electron carries, but different in quantity. Quarks are affected by the EM force.
2) Some quanrks carry a charge 1/3 that of the electron, and others carry a charge of 2/3 that of the electron. Antiquarks of course carry negatives of these.
3) Quarks also carry color charges of the strong force.
Self adjoint said:Parity for spinning particles depends on their handedness, which should be described in the tables. C-parity is just based on electric charges; +1 for positive charges and -1 for negative charges and 0 for neutral particles.

In all cases, the sudden change in the mass of the SN will result in a quite different orbit for the pair
QG plasma, or quantum gravity plasma, refers to a hypothetical state of matter that is predicted to exist at extremely high energy densities, such as those found in the early universe or near black holes. It is thought to be a combination of plasma and quantum effects, and could potentially provide insights into the fundamental nature of space and time.
Gamma ray bursters, also known as gamma ray bursts, are extremely energetic explosions that release high levels of gamma rays. These events are thought to be associated with the collapse of massive stars or the coalescence of neutron stars. QG plasma is believed to play a role in the intense gamma ray emissions that are observed during these events.
Research on QG plasma and gamma ray bursters is ongoing, and there are many unresolved questions and debates in this field. Scientists are using a variety of observational and theoretical approaches to better understand the properties and behavior of both QG plasma and gamma ray bursters.
Studying QG plasma and gamma ray bursters could provide important insights into the fundamental laws of physics and the origins of the universe. This knowledge could have technological applications, such as advancements in energy production and space travel. Additionally, understanding these phenomena could help us better predict and prepare for potential threats from gamma ray bursts in our own galaxy.
While gamma ray bursters are incredibly powerful and could potentially cause damage if they occurred close enough to Earth, they are extremely rare and are not currently considered a major threat. However, further research on QG plasma and gamma ray bursters could potentially uncover new information about these events and their potential hazards.
