Are different physical fields located in the same space-time, or in different ones?

[(Q)]

You are the one discussing them, James. Not everyone here does this, some reject them without explanation, or rather, they say that they do not correspond to the generally accepted point of view.

No one here says that, what they do is try to point you in the direction of laws and theories that have hard evidence to support them, these are not "points of view".

Regarding the mistrust of scientific consensus: I generally do not trust anyone/anything unless I have personally verified something, or unless I have been provided with convincing evidence.

Religious people are hilarious, they demand mountains of evidence and explanations ad nauseum for anything scientific, yet completely accept their religious beliefs without any evidence or question.

I begin to look for answers myself.

That's what cranks and crackpots do. Answers to many of your questions are readily available, but you don't seem to care for them.

 

[Wizard of Whatever]

Why?

Just seems ridiculous to me to consider such an ephemeral existence fundamental.

That is not the criteria for a fundamental particle.

Мартин, я же не обзываю тебя чудаком и кретином, хотя ты полностью соответствуешь этому определению, тогда почему ты постоянно это делаешь?

 

[Olga]

That is not the criteria for a fundamental particle.

В статье, которую просил Джеймс, в качестве примеров нефундаментальности электрона и позитрона рассматривались ортопозитроний и парапозитроний.

 

[Wizard of Whatever]

That is not the criteria for a fundamental particle.

I know that. I worked for a particle physics group in Berkley and San Diego. I just don't agree with the criteria.

А по каким критериям, кроме неделимости, частицу можно назвать фундаментальной?

Lifetime.

What was your work? Can you link some of your research? (It's Berkeley, btw)

I mostly did electronic logic design and some computer programming for their projects, but was aware of the nature of the experiments.

So what was your takeaway on the criteria for a fundamental particle.

Mine was: not a hadron. (IOW not composite)

Up and down quarks, electrons, neutrinos and all their anti-particles and photons. Just my personal take on the subject.

Well I'm sticking with the current science, so the stuff in the text books which would have originated from the peer reviewed published literature.

Olga:

"Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object" - I agree. Apply this definition to the electron and other particles, and you will realize that all massive particles are composite.

No.

Why are you failing to acknowledge that a composite particle is one that can be subdivided, while fundamental particles cannot be subdivided? Any particle that is made up of other particles is not fundamental.

Can an electron be subdivided, Olga? Yes or no?

If you think it can, please tell me about the experimental evidence that supports that conclusion.

"Properties of particles" - how do these properties arise?

Many of them appear to be intrinsic, when you're talking about non-composite particles.

Why do certain reactions occur?

Because of the laws of physics and chemistry.

What is the energy of a particle?

That depends on many things. What type or types of energy are you referring to?

Why is it different for different particles? Please explain this.

Have you not studied elementary physics, Olga?

"Fields" - are they infinite?

Yes. They have a value at every point in space. Space is, as far as we can tell, infinite.

That is, each particle is infinite in space?

A particle is not a field.

Are particles the excitation of fields, or their source?

Excitations.

That is, what comes first?

In the Standard Model of particle physics, the fields come first.

A fundamental particle cannot disappear and turn into another particle.

Are you talking about your own hypothesis, or real physics?

In real physics, fundamental particles such as electrons and quarks can certainly interact, disappearing or "turning into" other particles.

Do you know nothing about the Standard Model, Olga? Do you know anything about quantum field theory?

You are using a pc/cell phone/tablet to post though right? Which uses GPS? electricity? EM, Quantum Mechanics, Semi conductors? Resisters? LCD, Battery Etc etc? So you do dance to mainstream because it works right?

You are not even here on this thread, you're wafflling off topic with your usual pseudo profound babbling.

 

[Wizard of Whatever]

You think you're wise, but you truly understand nothing.
