Definitions

1. Matter particles are said to carry charges which make them susceptible to these forces. (Web site)
2. The matter particles are of two types: leptons and quarks.
3. Since all matter particles are fermions and all force carriers are bosons, this remarkable symmetry unifies matter and forces.
4. Dark matter particles are peculiar because they pass through objects as if they were not there. (Web site)

Mediator Particles

1. These mediator particles enable the matter particles to interact with each other. (Web site)

Various Force Particles

1. These matter particles all interact with the various force particles. (Web site)

Antimatter Partners

1. The existence of antimatter partners for all matter particles is now a well-verified phenomenon, with both partners for hundreds of such pairings observed. (Web site)

Opposite Charges

1. All of these matter particles come in left- and right-handed varieties, and have anti-particle partners that carry opposite charges. (Web site)

Corresponding Matter Particles

1. Antiparticles look and behave just like their corresponding matter particles, except they have opposite charges. (Web site)

Light

1. Not much. Whatever they are, dark matter particles are transparent to light, and unlike most components of ordinary matter, have no electric charge. (Web site)

Means

1. This means that dark matter particles should not interact with each other other than through gravity, i.e. (Web site)

Lower Energy

1. In comparison, the Lodge theory supposes that the ether has a MAXIMUM of energy, and matter particles are a LOWER ENERGY precipitate FROM the ether. (Web site)

Theory

1. The theory of relativity limits the maximum difference in the velocities of the matter particles in the star to the speed of light.

Interactions

1. The SM is the (incomplete) theory (in the sense of our current best approximation to the truth) of the fundamental matter particles and their interactions. (Web site)

Force

1. It turns out that when matter particles "feel a force", what is really happening on small distances is that particles are bumping in to each other.
2. The net result of the process of emission and absorption is the same as if there had been a force between the two matter particles. (Web site)

Forces

1. So for a sufficiently large number of matter particles, gravitational forces can dominate over all other forces. (Web site)
2. In the same way that our understanding of the fundamental matter particles has changed over time, so has our understanding of the forces between them. (Web site)

Mass

1. Although mass cannot be converted to energy, matter particles can be. (Web site)
2. The interaction can be interpreted as arising from the time variation of the mass of dark matter particles. (Web site)

Force-Carrying Particles

1. We think forces are felt by matter particles when force-carrying particles interact with them.
2. It affects all matter particles, but not force-carrying particles. (Web site)

Universe

1. The total mass of the Universe - consisting of matter particles and photon energy particles converted to mass (E = mc 2) is approximately 10 53 kg.

Antimatter Particles

1. Therefore, antimatter particles are likely to meet their fate and collide with matter particles. (Web site)

Force Carrier Particles

1. What we normally think of as "forces" are actually the effects of force carrier particles on matter particles.

Photon

1. If one of these Matter particles is struck by a photon of energy, it is thrust in half, into two half pieces. (Web site)

Electrons

1. Muons are unstable elementary particles and are heavier than electrons and neutrinos but lighter than all other matter particles. (Web site)

Antiparticle

1. We know that for each of these matter particles there is a corresponding antimatter particle (or antiparticle for short). (Web site)

Weak Interactions

1. Each is the antiparticle of the other, but neither of them are matter particles, instead they are carrier particles for weak interactions.

Standard Model

1. The matter particles described by the standard model all have an intrinsic property known as ' spin ' whose value is determined to be ½, i.e.
2. The standard model explains such forces as resulting from matter particles exchanging other particles, known as force-mediating particles. (Web site)

Antimatter

1. Antimatter is composed of particles which are identical to matter particles except that their additive quantum numbers have opposite sign.
2. But no one has ever produced antimatter without obtaining the corresponding matter particles also.

Matter

1. The standard model claims that matter particles were originally massless, even though mass is surely an intrinsic property of matter. (Web site)
2. The evidence for dark matter comes from its gravitational influence on other matter, and no dark matter particles have been observed in laboratories. (Web site)

Bosons

1. Particles such as the photon, which mediate forces between matter particles, are bosons. (Web site)
2. The gauge bosons of the Standard Model also all have spin (as do matter particles), but in their case, the value of the spin is 1, making them bosons. (Web site)

Integer Spin

1. In quantum mechanics, the forces or interactions between matter particles are all supposed to be carried by particles of integer spin – 0, 1, or 2. (Web site)

Fermions

1. In Standard Model terms, this means that all matter particles are fermions. (Web site)

Quarks

1. All visible matter in the universe is made from the first generation of matter particles: up and down quarks, and electrons. (Web site)

Leptons

1. All "matter particles" (quarks and leptons) are fermions. (Web site)
2. Electrons, protons, and neutrons are all fermions, as are all the fundamental matter particles, both quarks and leptons.
3. Matter particles come in two different types: leptons and quarks. (Web site)

Force Carriers

1. There are two types of particles: matter particles and force carriers. (Web site)
2. Quantum field theory, then, is a mathematical framework to describe interactions among force carriers and matter particles.

Particle

1. It turns out that all interactions which affect matter particles are due to an exchange of force carrier particles, a different type of particle altogether.
2. These are designed to detect dark matter particles by looking at the energy released when a particle smashes into a nucleus of germanium or silicon. (Web site)

Particles

1. There are also particles with integer spins (like 1 or 5) called "bosons." These are the force particles, as opposed to the matter particles, the fermions. (Web site)
2. There are two types of particles: those which are matter particles (such as the quarks and electrons we encountered earlier), and those which carry forces. (Web site)
3. These bosons carry energy between particles of matter, affecting the behavior of matter particles and holding the particles together in larger structures. (Web site)

Matter Particles

1. Matter We call the commonly observed particles such as protons, neutrons and matter particles, and their antiparticles are then antimatter.
2. Quarks combine with each other to make matter particles like protons and neutrons Leptons are particles like electrons. (Web site)
3. Boson Distinguished from fermions, which are matter particles, by their integer spin, bosons are force carrier particles such as the photon, for example.
