Sentences with phrase «particle theory»

You would have better success explaining particle theory to a 2 year old.

The standard model of particle theory successfully describes every fundamental particle and force observed in laboratories, yet fails to explain properties of the universe such as the existence of dark matter, the amount of dark energy, and the preponderance of matter over antimatter.

Wilczek, who was not involved in the new work, notes that although it offers a way to produce the amount of dark energy that we observe, it doesn't explain where the rest of the energy predicted by particle theories went.

W: I have a PhD from Princeton in particle theory and have been thinking about this subject for twenty years.

On Sunday, 19 February at 5:00 p.m., Sylvester James Gates Jr., the John S. Toll Professor of Physics and Director of the Center for Particle Theory at the University of Maryland, will discuss «Science and Evidence - Based Policymaking.»

«The time to plan a search strategy is now,» said Matt Dolan, a research associate in SLAC's Particle Theory group and co-author of the paper.

Dark Matter is one of the most important unsolved problems in modern physics, and we hope that our suggestion will inspire others to develop detailed particle theory and even experimental tests.»

«Observational techniques are now becoming accurate enough to either detect the strings, or to place stringent constraints on particle theories that predict them,» he says.

Remember, matter has the quality of acting either as a particle of wave, and the whole particle theory while intelligently presented, tended to push out the wave theory, and we have been going down that path ever since.

When we do a careful accounting of all of the ordinary matter that can respond to electromagnetism (matter made of protons, neutrons, electrons, etc. either making light or blocking it), we find that the ordinary matter makes up less than 20 % of the gravity of the overall matter and the remaining gravity seems to be from exotic particles predicted by particle theory but not yet discovered in our particle experiments such as at Fermilab and the Large Hadron Collider.

The scarcity of antihelium - 4 exactly matches predictions, a powerful confirmation of particle theory.

S. James Gates Jr., professor of physics and director of the Center for String and Particle Theory at the University of Maryland.

The year before last, before I got onto this quantum mechanics kick, I was writing papers about down - to - earth problems in elementary particle theory; I was also working on cosmology.

But particle theory is not even the main difficulty.

Imagine if all religious people just starting exploring astrophysics or astronomy or particle theories... what a sweet day that will be when «the gods of man are dead, and we are old enough not to need new ones...» — A. Clarke

Next comes quantum mechanics and particle theory, with several pages on superstrings, the hottest topic in today's theoretical physics.

Rumors had roiled the blogosphere since Resonaances, a particle theory blog, inaccurately reported December 7 that the CDMS collaboration would publish its results in the journal Nature, which would hint at a discovery with broad appeal and acceptance beyond the particle - physics community.

Maldacena's theory posits that on the lake's surface, there is no gravity — an environment that can best be described by particle theory.

In it they would seek the elusive «dark matter» whose gravity binds the galaxies, a type of radioactivity that would blur the line between matter and antimatter, and protons falling apart as predicted by some particle theories.

There is no intrinsic difference between particles and antiparticles; they appear on essentially the same footing in all particle theories.
