AI Thread Summary

The Standard Model of particle physics serves as a foundational framework that predicts and explains fundamental particles and their interactions. It has successfully forecasted the existence of particles like the Higgs boson, which was confirmed experimentally in 2012. Similar to how the periodic table guided chemistry in predicting undiscovered elements, the Standard Model helps identify potential missing links in physics. Tools and frameworks derived from the Standard Model continue to drive research and exploration in the field. Understanding its implications is crucial for advancing knowledge in theoretical and experimental physics.

do we have tools to find missing links in physics like periodic table of elements that helped chemistry to predict elements not know at that time?

There's the Standard Model, which predicted the Higg's boson.

Thread 'Is space stretching or is new space being created?'

Do we even know? My understanding of dark energy is that particles come into existence, exert and outward force, then vanish. My problem with that is how, of course, then how does dark energy know to push everything in the same direction? The pressure exerted would be in all directions, even if the space was moving so why isn't stuff pushed all over the sky? Thanks - rev

Thread 'The Physics of unloading sand from a barge'

I think it's easist first to watch a short vidio clip I find these videos very relaxing to watch .. I got to thinking is this being done in the most efficient way? The sand has to be suspended in the water to move it to the outlet ... The faster the water , the more turbulance and the sand stays suspended, so it seems to me the rule of thumb is the hose be aimed towards the outlet at all times .. Many times the workers hit the sand directly which will greatly reduce the water...
