  • Not sure if I am correct, I was reading an older text book.

    Boson particles are the force carriers, and the particles we call fundamental are fermion or fermionic particles?

    If so it would be nice to see a video mentioning the fermion class of particle within the standard model that make up the protons and electrons and neutrinos and so on.

    If I remember right the main difference was that their spins did not allow their waves to combine like boson particles do,

  • Do you have a video detailing neutral currents? I can't find any info that makes sense to me. Thanks for your amazing videos!

  • to be perfectly honest, guys, I didn't understand a damn thing!

  • Why do people keep thinking they can quantify the universe.

  • Whats the difference between a neutrino, these particles and the "weak charge"?

  • @TehOwnerer999 The neutrino is a fundamental particle in its own right. It carries a weak charge which generates the weak force -- that is it generates the weak-force gauge bosons. The weak-bosons described in this video ARE the weak-force carrier -- gauge bosons for the weak-force.

  • ok, this quantum stuff is really grabbing my interest.

  • I have a few questions, I hope you'll answer them:

    1) The Z 0 Boson looks the same as a microscopic black hole as you showed in your Black Hole video. Is it the same?

    2) Where do these W Bosons take part in interactions between quarks or electrons (both, quarks and electrons have weak force)? And what happens in Weak Force interaction?

    3) And what does the Z Boson does? (I didn't understand that word you said...

  • @yamjayamjabulba The answer to question one is: No, it is not the same. It just looks the same in his videos because black holes are black.

  • Thank you. This is really helpful for someone like me, who learns well visually and doesn't know much science. I'd read about the different sort of particles before but it would blur together in my mind since I didn't know enough to really place the information within a context.

  • Congratulations! Your Quantum Physics videos are fantastic. In a more

    perfect, intelligent, world you would be getting millions of hits. As a quantum physicist I must take my hat off to you.

  • and i thought that the proton was a heavy "force" in the atom. I'm now proven wrong.

  • The gauge boson (carrier particle) for a force need not be an originator of the force. That is, it need not carry the "charge" that originates the force. In fact, if it does carry the "charge" then the situation gets very complicated (like the gluon field which does carry the color "charge".)

  • @cassiopeiaproject Thanks for all the replies, you've clarified alot of things for me

  • Is there anyone out there who can explain to me how a photon acts as the electromagnetic carrier particle when it itself has no electric charge? Been searching for an answer but I can't seem to find it.

  • Thats a good question. Did you ever find the answer?

  • Basically I've come to realize that the relationship is a purely mathematical one. I visualize it as a transference of momentum, the photon either has a "positive momentum value" or a "negative momentum value" the momentum of the photon is determined by the particle that releases it, but since it is a virtual photon, it doesn't actually exist until it transfers its' energy to another particle. Chances are I still have it completely wrong.
