The discussion revolves around the nature and cause of the strong force in physics, exploring theoretical explanations, the role of gluons, and the philosophical implications of scientific models. Participants engage in a conceptual examination of fundamental forces, including gravity and the weak force, and the limitations of current scientific understanding.
Participants express a range of views on the nature of scientific models and the explanations for fundamental forces. There is no consensus on the adequacy of current explanations for the strong force or the philosophical implications of model-based science.
Participants highlight limitations in understanding fundamental forces, the dependence on experimental results for model formulation, and the unresolved nature of questions surrounding the existence of forces and particles.
Physics cannot describe "how" or "why" on a fundamental level. Physics just can give a description that allows to predict measurement results, biSyed Ammar said:Please explain how is exactly strong force caused
What are "imaginary models"? All of physics is built on experiments. Experiments are the only way to learn something about our universe. Models are made based on those experiments, to predict the results of more experiments.Syed Ammar said:Is this due to the fact that Fundamental Physics is built up on Imaginary Models and Experimentation?
Quantum chromodynamics describes the details, the Wikipedia article gives an overview.Syed Ammar said:BTW, Could you explain how the gluons generate this strong force (leaving the formation of sub-atomic particles by the gluons aside).
Orodruin said:What do you mean by a model being "seen"? How do you "see" gravity? Models in science make predictions and these predictions are then tested against what we can observe about how the Universe behaves. A model can never been proven, but it can be discarded if it fails to make correct predictions. Naturally, the first step when making a model is to make sure it is consistent with things already observed. It can then be used to make further predictions that may make us discard it if it is not fulfilled or let it live another day if the observation is compatible with the model.
Syed Ammar said:I just meant to say that these models have not been seen, just been formulated from results of experiments, and you know what the common perception( Seeing is Believing) is. Thanks a hundred times for that link.. :)
