"Quantifying Proton Pressure: Unveiling Swirling Forces"

Physicists have long sought to understand the distribution of matter and energy within protons, particularly the elusive "Druck term" which represents the arrangement of pressures and forces. While traditional gravitational experiments were deemed impractical due to the weakness of gravity, a breakthrough in the late 1990s and early 2000s revealed a workaround involving two-photon scattering events. By analyzing the energies and momentums of particles resulting from these events, physicists were able to extract the proton's internal pressures, revealing intense forces at the proton's core and shedding light on its stability.
