Author Topic: Post about a random fact you learned today.  (Read 1804 times)

i figured out what g means in this diagram and found out that it represents a gluon. and then i looked into what gluons are. and now im interested in particle physics.



brings back memories of half life 1. also anti-matter is more simple than i thought
Its called a Feynman diagram
In this diagram you posted, an electron (e-) and positron (e+) collide to produce a Photon (y) that is represented by the blue sine wave and then eventually turns into a quark (q) and antiquark (q with the bar above) and the antiquark radiates a gluon which is represented by g

credit goes to science

A useful application of this diagram is to describe hawking radiation.

EDIT: This wasn't a fact I learned today, I just think particle physics are cool.

Together, we shall tell anti-matter particles WHOS BOSS. YEAH

i learned that its ok to have hair down there

In learned that my French teacher almost died.

I learned how to pronounce tense consonants which are used in Korean and probably somewhere else

I learned that my physics experiment is impossible to complete and I have to give a presentation on it tomorrow.

Yay...

cox internet is bipolar

I learned that its possible to be born with two X chromosomes and one Y chromosome. (Your just really forgeted up)


i learned about supply in economics today

that balisongs are legal in tennesee

One of my friends from school used to know Lizzy irl before she moved here

Muslim still hasn't changed.

I've been reading Feynman diagrams wrong this entire time. I'd always thought they were showing the paths and flavors of particles interacting via carrier particles.
