Physicists Are About To Test A Hypothesis That Could Rewrite The Textbooks physics-astronomy


A team of physicists suggested that the fundamental building unit proton can alter its structure under certain circumstances. Scientists are now performing experiments to show that the structure of protons can change inside the nucleus under certain conditions. If they become successful, all the current studies are going to be reviewed. Anthony Thomas and his team have published their results in Physical Review Letters.

The researcher, Anthony Thomas said “The idea that the internal structure of protons might change under some specific conditions seems to be ridiculous, for most of the scientists. While for others like me, indication of this internal change is highly pursued and would help to explicate some of the uncertainties in theoretical physics”. This study has certain insinuations in the fields of nuclear and theoretical physics. Protons are one of the smallest building blocks, made up of small particles known as quarks, bound together by gluons. They consider that the protons present inside the nuclei of atoms don’t have a fix structure.
But this concept seems not to satisfy the theory that explains relation between quarks and gluons named as Quantum Chromodynamics.

Thomas said “By bombarding the beam of electrons at an atomic nucleus, we can evaluate the difference in energy of the outgoing electrons. Now we are looking forward for the appropriate outcomes.”

Thomas also said “The results are substantial for us. This could put forward a new concept for nuclear physics”.

Whether their predictions are correct or not, the consequences are going to add a huge break-through in our notions regarding the fundamental building blocks – protons. And will give rise to some better concepts about the chemistry of everything around us.

Iceland Knows How To Stop Teen Substance Abuse But The Rest Of The World Isn’t Listening collective-evolution

I think it’s safe to say that most teenagers have tried and/or abused alcohol or illegal drugs, yet teen substance abuse rarely gets the attention it needs. Drugs and alcohol have a more detrimental effect on the underdeveloped brain, particularly since teens lack the ability to adequately assess risk, making them more likely to overindulge in substances. It’s this same lack that explains why people tend to be braver and more open to trying new experiences as teens than as adults. But this courage comes at a cost, as teens cannot adequately assess the risks of the substances they are taking. And schools aren’t doing nearly enough to educate them. I remember seeing presentations from a program called DARE, or Drug Abuse Resistance Education, when I was in school. Although we were taught to avoid drugs, the focus was more on avoiding criminal behaviour than protecting our bodies. There wasn’t much focus on long-term effects of drug use. They always maintained that abstinence from drug u

The Inevitable Is Almost Here: What’s Going To Happen When The Whole World Finds Out? collective-evolution

Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs) have been a topic of interest for decades, and with the recent release of thousands of previously classified government documents, we now know without question that government, military, and other defence agencies have had a high level of interest in this topic for a very long time. These files indicate that objects are commonly tracked on both air and ground radar, as well as visually confirmed by the pilots who are sent out to intercept them. Everything is in a process of investigation both in the United States and in Spain, as well as the rest of the world. The nations of the world are currently working together in the investigation of the UFO phenomenon. There is an international exchange of data. – General Carlos Castro Cavero (1979). From UFOs and the National Security State, Volume 2 , written by Richard Dolan. For instance, here is an excellent example of a defence intelligence agency report detailing what commonly happens when a UFO is

Quantum Vacuum & Zero Point Energy Access: Is “Free Energy” For All Actually Possible? collective-evolution

Image
“Free energy” is a term being tossed around these days, and not one that many within the new energy movement like to use. That’s because it’s not really “free,” or what we perceive “free” to be. It’s not like the power source for generating the energy to run these machines (discussed below in this article) is coming from nowhere. It’s coming from the quantum vacuum, which would seem to be available for our use in unlimited quantities, given the fact that it’s the invisible “stuff” that makes up our known entire universe, in which could be a sea of universes and dimensions. There is enough to go around. Sure, solar, wind, and other clean energy initiatives are great, and the more the better, but the world has been completely blinded by the fact that there are many more advanced ways to generate clean energy that could revolutionize our world in several different paradigm changing ways. “Much to my surprise, these concepts have been proven in hundreds of laboratories around the world,
