Proton

[shkotay]

Amazing reading up later that the empty space in a proton takes up 90% of the total area of the proton, yet the proton weighs far more then it should for all that empty space. The discovery of virtual particles bursting into and out of existence accounted for the mass of the proton in full if I understood it correctly. Nothing does in fact weight something :D In-fricking-credible :D

[gluoff]

Will somebody please, please point me to a program that filters out the music and percussion from these, for me, otherwise excellent videos. Alternatively could cassiopeia give - optionally- any useful commentary as subtitles, so I can simply mute all sound.

[MetalSpiral]

I once read that protons decay after some billion years. What does this mean? Do gluons lose frequency? Do quarks slow down? Do they stop spinning? What happens if quarks collide? What do strings have to do with all this?

...Where do these quarks and gluons come from anyway? And what's up with their magnetism (i.e. light interaction)? Why are these quarks and gluons said to have "color" charges?

So the gluon force makes particles stick together, and the photon force makes particles separate...

[lowrider692]

great information..thx..hehehe

[Mostwantedo]

What's the baryon with three Up quarks? It would have +2 charge, thus, if replaced a proton in an exotic atom, it would require two electrons to achieve balance. This possible?

[cassiopeiaproject]

@Mostwantedo The Delta++ baryon has three up quarks. It quickly decays into a proton and a positive pion. It decays too fast to exist in a stable nucleus.

[Mostwantedo]

@cassiopeiaproject Thanks for answering :)

[buzzin1975]

What mediates forces?

[cassiopeiaproject]

@buzzin1975 Check out our "Standard Model" video.

[13RevengeIsSweet]

Lmao! you can taste a proton???

[revrunnertech2772]

than what happens if you put 3 down quarks?

[cassiopeiaproject]

@revrunnertech2772 This particle is called a Delta-minus, and has been observed many times in particle experiments. It quickly decays into a neutron and a negative pion.

[SpaceTime4D]

@cassiopeiaproject All delta baryons have a spin of 3/2. What would you call a baryon with quark composition ddd, but a spin of 1/2?

[cassiopeiaproject]

@SpaceTime4D For three quarks of an identical flavor like ddd, the spin function must be symmetric under interchange of any two quarks.

[cassiopeiaproject]

@SpaceTime4D To get a spin-1/2 state the quarks must be in an ( (up-up) - down) kind of state. This is neither symmetric nor anti-symmetric under interchange of quarks (1 and 3) or (2 and 3). So the spin-1/2 states for three identical quarks are not allowed by the Pauli Exclusion Principle. This is true for uuu, ddd, sss, etc. There are no spin-1/2 baryons with identical quark content.

It's not the proton that tastes sour, it's the hydronium ion H3O+.

[sublyme33]

you cant just have a bunch of protons together, only protons... they wouldn't stay together, theoretically, because they are all positive charges....like two north ends of a bar magnet, they would be repelled by each other....

although I cant understand how helium could be made under that theory....2 protons in the nucleus....

Maybe the ratio of electrons and protons within a given atom allows the protons to come into contact? Or is that the weak/strong nuclear force that keeps them together?

[jtwestie]

@sublyme33 Whilst the commonly accepted 'like charges repel, unlike charges attract' tells us that two protons cannot fuse, they can - only instead by the nuclear strong force that binds them via the gluon shown in this video. The only problem is, is getting the two protons close enough for the strong force to fuse the two together - such happens at high energies as present in the sun, research Nuclear Fusion. Hope that helped.

[RvNYC]

It is interesting to note that the sum of the Quarks' charges IS the + charge of the proton. So quarks do interact with the external world. You might even say that it is the Quarks that taste sour.

[SurfingWithTheCowboy]

"...Protons taste sour..."

How was it that the taste of a Proton was figured it out?

I mean, can you actually put enough protons together, and only protons, so you can actually make our tongue detect it and distinguish its taste?

Thanks

[cassiopeiaproject]

Acids taste sour, and protons (or hydrogen-ions) are what makes acids acid (like vinegar).

[sidewaysfcs0718]

ooooo i get it ..i was wondering why taste was mentioned in this clip .

i kept thinking that hidrogen might taste sour i forget it forms acids.

[nehorlavazapalka]

@cassiopeiaproject at least according to Arrhenius

[Neopulse00]

@cassiopeiaproject Clever answer. But wouldn't it burn your tongue off in a sense if it's a huge chunk of protons?

[KutaPuta]

Thats what i was thinking

[RyuDarragh]

What is hydrogen? It is a single proton and an electron. What is an acid? It is an ionized hydrogen atom in a solution. Get it? Acids, which are sour, have a subset made up of one proton ^.^

[indiawillbea]

quarks interact by exchanging gluons.

several quarks in a hadron

emit a gluon while the other absorbs it, thus there is an overall affinity of every quark towards each other.

[b29349]

protons, electrons, and nuetrons are made of quarks, up, down, and charm or strange? and quarks are made by photons? 3 photons in each quark? father, son, and holy ghost?

[sidewaysfcs0718]

u actually got from protons to the christian trinity??

first off u are incorrect.

protons and neutrons are hadrons ..they are made from quarks. electrons arent made of anything, they are fundamental ....

protons and neutrons are made of quarks , quarks arent made of anything ....they are also fundamental ...

fundamental particle can become other particles ...when they annihilate they could become photons ..without consisting of anything smaller ..... string theory explains more.

[Abengoshis]

How do you know what a proton tastes like?

[cassiopeiaproject]

Acids taste sour, and protons (or hydrogen-ions) are what makes acids acid (like vinegar.)

[Abengoshis]

Seems reasonable. Thanks for telling me.

[DarkTrinityX1]

Haha it's quite a nice little fact. Wouldn't have thought about it before.

[thinkstrait]

@Abengoshis H+ ions are acid OH- ions are base, lemon is a base :)

[thinkstrait]

@thinkstrait shit lemin is an acid :P

[Abengoshis]

@thinkstrait lemons contain citric acid. I'm pretty sure thats an acid... xD

[thinkstrait]

@Abengoshis yeaa i know i feel like an idiot :P

[BOOM3headshots]

@Abengoshis lemon juice, vinegar, citrus acid, etc.

[Gastrophetes]

What you described isn't advanced enough to be considered a taught part of quantum physics. This information is more often taught in early high school chemistry.

[Abengoshis]

I was only replying to someone, not trying to prove any knowledge of Quantum Physics. I know what I said is high school chemistry.

[mariflak]

acutualy the way I see it could not only be less parcial to the way physics is developing among quantic theories, althoug I must say seems likely shalow, nor pathentin..... "see, I can sound smart too" jaja

[Gastrophetes]

Fuck. My worst enemy. Someone who actually knows what he is talking about :P.

[mariflak]

jajajaja, amen

[Abengoshis]

I don't know why I said physics.....

[Gastrophetes]

That's what I was referring too. That stuff comes into physics but not into higher levels then what you described. That's why I thought it was odd you said physics and I commented on it. Didn't mean to be a jerk.

[Abengoshis]

Yeah I really have no idea why I said that. lol

You didn't come across as a jerk so thats fine.

[sublyme33]

protons are the positive charge, electrons are the negative charge. Like magnets, they cancel each other out, making the atom stable, so yeah, you got it.....

If you're interested, neutrons add weight to an atom, like you may have heard of carbon 13 or 14....the numbers have to do with how many neutrons an atom has...

[pjholl]

Thats not actually true. For example, Carbon 13 simply mean the TOTAL number of nucleons (protons+neutrons) = 13. Of which 6 are protons and 7 are neutrons. Neutrons only just weight slightly more than a proton, but both protons and neutron give mass to an atom, as do even the electrons.

[danial657]

Actually, atoms can never last if there were no neutrons because of their same charges, they would repel each other, not attract to form atoms. Neutrons are the ones which join between the two protons to finish their repelling charge or you can say that the neutron is a barrier between their repelling properties. That's what neutrons do.... not just make the atom heavy.

[jtwestie]

@danial657 I hope you are joking? Your statement is completely false.

Whilst the commonly accepted 'like charges repel, unlike charges attract' tells us that two protons cannot fuse, they can - only instead by the nuclear strong force that binds them via the gluon shown in this video. The only problem is getting the two protons close enough for the strong force to fuse the two together - such happens at high energies as present in the sun, research Nuclear Fusion. Hope that helped.

[aishaseeb]

@jtwestie of course..... I know that the strong force is much much much more powefull than electromagnetism... but the thing is that if there were no neutrons at all to hold the protons together.... the atoms would not be more iron or even less because the strong force (which actually looses its strength in big elements such as uranium and plutonium....) would loose alot early in small elements.

Thats what i was trying to say.... maybe you misunderstood me.....

[faerie130]

im an eighth grader and learned about protons, neutrons, atoms, electrons, and the periodic table. the proton has more parts than were explained to us. But how is the number of electrons, protons, and the atomic number the same? Do the electrons balance out the protons, or something? Just something i'm a little interested in knowing. Thank you!

[cassiopeiaproject]

Yes, it is exactly as you said. The number of protons is the atomic number of the element. And in neutral atoms the number of electrons always equals the number of protons.

[danial657]

Aren't all atoms neutral.... I thought they are, if they are not ions, they are neutral right?

Thanks,

danial657

[cassiopeiaproject]

Yes, sort of.. But terminology gets in the way a bit here -- an atom missing an electron is still an atom.

[Gmister2]

no, a proton has a positive charge

[danial657]

Actually, I was talking about the whole atom... that includes electrons....I know that a proton has a positive charge.
