Physicists Observe Particles Switch Between Matter and Antimatter

-


For the first time, a particle has been shown to switch back and forth between matter and antimatter states. The discovery was made using the IHCD experiment at the large hadron collider and the particle in question is the so-called charm meson.
 All fundamental particles in nature have corresponding antiparticles. For example, the antimatter of the electron is the positron which has the same mass but opposite electric charge. Scientists have known for some time that charm meson, which a quark and an antiquark, can travel as a mixture of their particles and antiparticles states. This mixture is known as quantum superposition. 
Quantum superposition
Result in two versions of the same particle, each with their own mass a heavier and a lighter version. The difference in mass is tiny, about 100 trillion trillionth of a gram, but it's this tiny difference that researchers have measured, confirming for the first time that the charm meson can oscillate between the two states.
Charm mesons 
Charm mesons are produced in the large hadron collider by smashing together beams of protons at very high energies, even moving at close to the speed of light. The charm mesons travel on average only a few millimeters before they decay into other particles by comparing those that decay after traveling a short distance with those that travel a bit further. Scientists have been able to measure the key quantity that controls the speed of the charm meson oscillation, the difference in mass between the heavier and lighter versions of the particle.
The measurement was made possible because of the number of charm messages produced in IHCD collisions. This in turn enables the IHCD experiment to collect enough data to confirm five sigma levels and why is the discovery so important?Because it might shed light on physics beyond the standard model, our current best understanding of fundamental particles and forces.
Researchers will now want to learn more about the charm meson oscillation process. The rate of particle antiparticle transitions is the same as that of antiparticle particle transitions. What controls the transitions?

Perhaps some as yet unknown particles not included in the standard model beyond that there's the possibility that particle antiparticle flips of the charm meson may shed light on one of the major outstanding problems in cosmology.Why matter came to dominate antimatter in the universe in which we live. It's interesting that some of the biggest questions of all might be answered by some of the smallest measurements we can make. What do you think about this? My friends let me know in the comments.

The Quantum Internet Will Blow Your Mind. Here’s What It Will Look Like The next generation of the Internet will rely on revolutionary new tech — allowing for unhackable networks and information that travels faster than the speed of light.

Call it the quantum Garden of Eden. Fifty or so miles east of New York City, on the campus of Brookhaven National Laboratory, Eden Figueroa is one of the world’s pioneering gardeners planting the seeds of a quantum internet. Capable of sending enormous amounts of data over vast distances, it would work not just faster than the current internet but faster than the speed of light — instantaneously, in fact, like the teleporta...

Libet Experiment,Quantum Mechanics, Determism And Free Will.

You went to vote and thought about whether it is better to vote for Trump or Biden. Later that then caused Biden to win. That's how it seems, but Benjamin Libette's experiment in the 1980's cast some doubts on that in his Neuroscience lab he wired up the subject to an EEG machine measuring brain activity via electrode on their scalps and then asked them to choose to perform a simple hand movement like you were supposed to choose trump or Biden.  When they felt like it, he also got them to record the time at which they made a conscious decision to move their hands disconcertingly. He found evidence of brain activity initiating the movement hundreds of milliseconds before the individual willed anything to happen. Some people think this is proof that free will is an illusion that our conscious decisions are more like reports on what is already happening than the cause of our action. Libbette didn't go that far. He thought that we mig...

Imagine you sit down and pick up your favorite book. You look at the image on the front cover, run your fingers across the smooth book sleeve, and smell that familiar book smell as you flick through the pages. To you, the book is made up of a range of sensory appearances. But you also expect the book has its own independent existence behind those appearances. So when you put the book down on the coffee table and walk into the kitchen, or leave your house to go to work, you expect the book still looks, feels, and smells just as it did when you were holding it. Expecting objects to have their own independent existence – independent of us, and any other objects – is actually a deep-seated assumption we make about the world. This assumption has its origin in the scientific revolution of the 17th century and is part of what we call the  mechanistic worldview . According to this view, the world is like a giant clockwork machine whose parts are governed by set laws of motion. ...
