#quantam physics

I do not like it, and I am sorry I ever had anything to do with it.

"I feel everything. Space, the air, the vibrations, the people, I can feel the gravity, I can feel the rotation of the Earth, the heat leaving my body, the blood in my veins. I can feel my brain. The deepest parts of my memory. I wish you can feel the same."

Those who are not shocked when they first come across quantum theory cannot possibly have understood it.

Three quarks for Muster Mark! Sure he hasn’t got much of a bark And sure any he has it’s all beside the mark. 

James Joyce, Finnegans Wake (1939)

At first, scientists thought the nucleus was composed of electrons and a positively charged particle called a proton. The word proton, like atom, has Greek roots. It stems from the word prōtos, meaning “first,” because protons were thought to be the fundamental unit of matter—until about halfway through the 20th century, that is, when a physicist made a teeny, tiny discovery.

When Caltech physicist Murray Gell-Mann predicted the existence of an even smaller set of particles in 1964, he playfully dubbed them quarks. There’s a rich tradition of whimsical naming in the world of physics, as is the case with “the God particle,” “flavor,” and “charm.”

But according to Gell-Mann’s book, The Quark and the Jaguar: Adventures in the Simple and the Complex, the tail was wagging the dog. “When I assigned the name “quark” to the fundamental constituents of the nucleon,” he writes, “I had the sound first, without the spelling, which could have been ‘kwork.’

Luckily, Gell-Mann had a bit of a literary bent. In one of his occasional perusals of Finnegans Wake, by James Joyce, he came across the word ‘quark.’

Gell-Mann also predicted the existence of a particle called the omega-minus, which was confirmed in 1964. He won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1969 for his work on the theory of elementary particles.

Gell-Mann was a child prodigy who entered Yale University at the age of 15 and graduated with a B.S. in physics in 1948. He introduced the concept of strangeness, a quantum property that accounted for previously puzzling decay patterns of certain mesons, in 1953.

He also proposed a scheme for classifying subatomic particles into simple orderly arrangements of families, called the Eightfold Way, after Buddha’s Eightfold Path to Enlightenment and bliss, in 1961.

Vedas Window To Quantam Physics

Jale Vishnu , Thale Vishnu , Vishnu Parvat Mastake, JwalmalaKule Vishnu, Sarvam Vishnu Mayam Jagat…. Only Vishnu prevades in Water, He prevades on land , he is at the top of mountains and Volcanoes ,,,there is Vishnu everywhere. Sounds like typical vedic hymn. We have spend more years in debating the authenticity of Vedas but now truth is glaring at us , read further to find out…. Quantum physics
