Quark Seeding: Info & Possibilities

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The forum discussion centers on the concept of "quark seeding," which involves the theoretical replacement of electrons in a crystal lattice with quarks to alter material properties. Participants debate the validity of Dr. F. Winterberg's 1975 theories, questioning the feasibility of using high-energy lasers to achieve quark interactions and the implications of antiquark mass. Key points include the distinction between the electromagnetic force and the strong force, the impossibility of free quarks, and the need for modern physics understanding to evaluate such speculative ideas.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of quantum chromodynamics (QCD)
  • Familiarity with particle physics terminology, including quarks and antiquarks
  • Knowledge of laser physics, particularly high-energy laser applications
  • Basic grasp of the Heisenberg uncertainty principle
NEXT STEPS
  • Study quantum chromodynamics (QCD) to understand quark interactions
  • Research high-energy laser technologies, such as gamma-ray lasers
  • Explore modern textbooks on particle physics to update knowledge from the 1970s
  • Investigate the implications of the Heisenberg uncertainty principle in particle physics
USEFUL FOR

Physicists, researchers in particle physics, and students interested in advanced theoretical concepts related to quarks and material science.

What about a Bose Einstein condensate... Some lab managed to slow light to a few cm/s...Doesn't it also slow, or block and stack, neutrinos?
If you combine random concepts, you rarely get something useful. Especially if you do not know what you combine, this is pointless.

To answer the question: in the same than other matter.

So you're not actually detecting the actual neutrino, but it's effect on electrons

By that logic, an ordinary camera doesn't actually detect actual photons, but their effects on a CCD sensor or on silver atoms in photographic film. :oldsmile:

Well what I meant is that a CCD gets hit by photons directly, while the tube amplifiers aren't directly detecting the hits by neutrinos but the hits by photons coming from the water/ice volume.

More like "I'm curious about stuff but I'm not willing to read about it even some introductory explanations such as ones in Wikipedia, and instead I waste other people's time by asking very poorly formulated questions".

Ok, this thread is all over the map, with a lot of it being pure speculation.
