Presentation Transcript

  1. NS1300 – Emergence of Modern Science The Particle Zoo

  2. Reductionism • What’s smaller than an atom? • Quantum particles • Quantum particle zoo • How low can you go? • Missing particles? • Strings?

  3. The Structure of Matter • What’s Inside a Proton? • The Particle Zoo • Leptons • Quarks • Antimatter

  4. Four Fundamental Forces • Gravity • Strong Force • Weak Force • Electromagnetic Force

  5. Elementary Particle Zoo

  6. Quark Properties • Up • Down • Charm • Strange • Bottom • Top

  7. Putting It All Together? • Higgs Particle (Higgs Ocean?) • Unified Field Theories • Supersymmetry • M Theory

  8. How Might M Theory Unify Physics? • The Graviton • Branes (p-branes and m-branes) • Braneworld Scenario (3-branes) • The Cyclic Model

  9. Let’s Start from the Beginning • The Arrow of Time • CERN’s Large HadronCollider

  10. Quiz • 1. T or F, a quark is charming. • 2. T or F, there are neutrinos in the particle zoo, but not zebras. • 3. T or F, the graviton (if it exists) may be able to travel through more than just the obvious 4 dimensions. • 4. T or F, strings are vibrating energy with different frequencies. • 5. T or F, we are all swimming in the Higgs ocean.
