“What is an electron?” by Frank Wilczek
I hope to write an article by this title (“What is an electron?”) someday. That’s my dream! The nature of electron is a mystery. The fact that we can build a civilization based on the manipulation of electrons without knowing … Continue reading

Why elementary particles decay
We observe that all elementary particles in nature decay into electron, photon and electron type neutrino after one or more transformations. Protons are the most stable composite particles in nature. Protons never decay. There are experiments designed to catch decaying … Continue reading
Short Descriptions of Quantum Field Theory
Lisa Randall Warped Passages, Harper Perennial (2005) “Quantum field theory, the tool with which we study particles, is based on eternal, omnipresent objects that can create and destroy those particles. These objects are the ‘fields’ of quantum field theory. Like … Continue reading

There are no massless electrically charged particles in nature
I am reading “The Infinity Puzzle” by Frank Close. This is a well written book. Frank Close reminded me one of the facts of nature. I underlined the text every time I saw these statements: “Massless particles with electric charge … Continue reading

Coupling between past and future
Prediction is the hardest intellectual problem. It seems that we need to know everything about the Cosmos to predict the future accurately. I am not sure that even omniscience is enough because there is an intrinsic uncertainty in the Cosmos. … Continue reading

Why 3?
One of my most popular articles is Triangle. Another one is Number Symbolism. In both articles I mention the significance of 3. It seems to me that people intuitively understand the importance of 3 and they want to learn more. … Continue reading

Quark model evolved
There is a must-read article by Matt Strassler: “Proton Collisions Vs. Quark/Gluon/Antiquark Mini-Collisions” In my opinion you should read the comments section first and then read the article. This is a disturbing article. The commentators call it a “shocker.” I was … Continue reading

Model of a Model
It is important to understand the distinction between reality, phenomena and measurements. It is also important to be aware of the distinction between physical reality and higher (subtler) states of reality. One could even talk about the ultimate (absolute) reality. … Continue reading

What is Spin?
A fermion will impart units of spin angular momentum irrespective of its energy when it interacts with other particles or fields. In physics jargon is sometimes dropped, we say that fermions are spin=1/2 particles. A gauge boson will impart units … Continue reading
