Scientists Have Detected a New Particle At the Large Hadron Collider At CERN (bbc.com)
New submitter ag144 writes: First time witnessed, the Large Hadron Collider finds predicted double-heavy particle. BBC reports: "Nearly all the matter that we see around us is made of neutrons and protons, which form the centers of atoms. These are made up of three smaller particles called quarks which can be either light or heavy. There are, however, six different types of quarks which combine in different ways to form other kinds of particle. Those that have been detected so far contain at most, one heavy quark. This is the first time that researchers have confirmed the existence of one with two heavy quarks. The research team will now measure the properties of the Xi-cc++ to establish how this new arrangement of quarks behaves and how the strong force holds the system together. They also expect to find more double heavy quark particles. Another unusual property of the particle is that it has two positive charges double that of the proton and it is four times heavier."
Forgetting the standard model for a moment (and its ridiculous number of particles and magic forces), imagine that all particles are twisting hoops of dipoles (two massless charged particulates XY form all matter, they're spinning in chains, which close to form hoops). Each conventional particle is 1 wavelength of the hoop twist of this dipole chain, or less commonly two or three wavelengths. When you run this dipole model, you see these double-wave hoops form, but they don't last long, the hoop twists itself in half and splits in two.
You also see charged particles, literally they captured a half dipole (an X+ or Y-) and it's dragged in circles round the inside of the hoop. And yes you see double charges (e.g. X+X+), but again not stable.
It's not the conventional model, it's just a numeric model in a sim, and it requires you lose the concept of mass. (All forces are the dipole organisation force that you see in crystals, water etc. dipoles always organize to form a net attraction. The force between them depends on their twist frequencies subtended onto the other particle, and velocity reduces it, i.e. momentum has nothing to do with 'mass', the velocity reduces the attractive force, there is no mass, and particles have no mass, they're either arranged in a hoop with a large distance across the dipole and thus a large attractive dipole force, or in a cloud with a sum of a very low dipole forces. C is the limit function of the dipole reduction, photons are just clouds of these spinning dipoles)
Oh, one side thing, C is not a global limit of velocity, it's a limit of velocity between two particles. You can arrange, say, 3 particles with initial velocities, so that the middle particle will accelerate past C relative to the first particle, since the force on it is the *sum* of limit functions. Which would mean black holes are not the end point of all matter, and universes, you can accelerate galaxies out to faster than C relative to us.
OK, so it sounds like crazy talk.
Please go on and tell me more about your thousands of particles and special forces that only exist at sub atomic scales....
