Oh, it does say GeV/c^2. I wonder how I could have misread that.
So, people are positing the graviton to have spin 2.
Are quarks indivisible? Why not, if not? Remember, the atom used to
be indivisible.
Are there any metrics of particles that when equipment increases in
precision, grow smaller or larger? That is, if you were measuring
something about a quark, or other known particle, does the experimental
value or its reciprocal diverge as technology to observe them increases
in precision? The universe's apparent size appears to be that way over
time.
That's about infinitesimals, I'm trying to understand particles in
terms of infinitesimals instead of Planck, the discrete and continuous
etcetera. If you know of things for which that is true, I'm interested
in hearing about that.
That particleadventure.org is a cool site, its precursor was one of the
first, and best, places to learn about the Standard Model on the
Internet. That's partially because the information contained there was
discovered muchly in the last forty years or so.
http://www.google.com/search?q=quark+discovery+history
That's longer than I've been alive.
In the particleadventure.org chart, it lists spin for fermions as 1/2,
3/2, 5/2, ..., and for bosons as 0, 1, 2, .... Why is that inductive
sequence ellided? What fantastic particle has spin 99?
So, things with half-spin, or 1 1/2 or 2 1/2 spin, obey Fermi's rules.
That reminds me of passive electrical components that obey Ohm's and
Kirchoff's laws, I forget. The Fermionic particles, or fermions, they
are all hadrons?
So how do I snip a gluon and let it shoot off like a rubber band? I
want a gluon gun like Half-Life, the video game. Ha ha ha. (ha ha
ha... haanson! That guy cracks me up when isn't being serious.) I'd
like to order a gluon splitter for my inertial capacitor.
Hey, thanks you guys, I have read your posts and respect your
opinion(s). I might have some more questions. I think Clifford
algebra is the way to go to understand most applications of physics.
Unfortunately I do not yet understand Clifford algebra, eg Cl_3, or
Cl_3,1 or Cl_3,2, so fortunately I study Pertti Lounesto's "Clifford
algebras and spinors", which I understand he heartily recommends, in
theory.
There can be, only one, theory.
The particle: it's a wave.
Have a nice day,
Ross F.
