Dr. Gunther Kletetschka proposes a revolutionary theory that the universe is built on three dimensions of time rather than space, with space emerging as a secondary effect, potentially unifying quantum mechanics and gravity and predicting particle masses accurately.
Scientists at the Large Hadron Collider are expanding their search for new particles by updating the trigger of the CMS detector to scout for long-lived particles that can travel before decaying into more stable byproducts. This effort aims to address the limitations of the Standard Model and potentially provide insights into phenomena such as dark matter. The updated trigger system has significantly improved the sensitivity of the searches, and scientists are currently analyzing a new dataset in hopes of finding new particles or setting more stringent limits on long-lived particles.
Recent experiments at the Jefferson Lab have provided new insights into the 3D structure of nucleon resonances, shedding light on the early universe and fundamental particles. The research explores the properties and behaviors of nucleons, which are the protons and neutrons that make up the nuclei of atoms. By studying the resonating proton and the excitation process, scientists hope to understand how matter formed in the universe and why it exists in its present form.
Scientists have created the highest resolution map yet of the distribution of quarks inside a proton, revealing that up and down quarks affect the proton differently in terms of internal energy and spin. The study used advanced analytical techniques, including lattice quantum chromodynamics, to accurately model the interactions between quarks and gluon particles. The findings suggest that gluons play a greater role in the proton's spin than previously assumed. The research provides valuable insights for future fundamental physics experiments and helps further our understanding of the building blocks of matter.
