High School Quark Seeding: Info & Possibilities

Click For Summary
The discussion centers around the concept of "quark seeding" and the feasibility of manipulating quarks within solid materials. Participants debate the validity of Dr. F. Winterberg's 1975 theories, questioning whether antiquarks can replace electrons in a crystal lattice and the implications of such changes on material properties. It is clarified that quarks are bound by the strong force, not electromagnetic force, and that free quarks do not exist, which undermines the original premise. Additionally, the conversation touches on the challenges of using high-energy lasers to achieve particle interactions, emphasizing the need for modern understanding in theoretical physics. Overall, the thread highlights the complexities of particle physics and the importance of current scientific knowledge.

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.
