vlad tepes Posted October 20, 2003 Report Share Posted October 20, 2003 What are the basics particles in universe made of? and where did they came from?can they be generated from nothing? should the scientist try to complicate the most complicated structure thet they can findin order to create a new struture , maybe if they do this they can advance by working faster than creationexcuse my english but i speak spanish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panda Posted July 16, 2004 Report Share Posted July 16, 2004 The basic particles of the universe are quarks, electrons, photons, and neutrinos. They formed about ten seconds after the big bang. Apparently they appeared out of the inflation of the universe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bo Posted July 16, 2004 Report Share Posted July 16, 2004 Well there are actually about 31 (if i remember correctly) elementary particles see:http://particleadventure.org/particleadventure/http://particleadventure.org/particleadventure/frameless/chart.html Where do they come from? well nobody knows But you might know that einstein said that energy=matter. So when the universe was created (big bang), there was a lot of energy. This energy formed the elemntary particles. Can the be created from nothing? Quantum physics says: yes. during a very short time a particle can come into existence and disappears directly. There are ideas of 'mining' this 'quantum vacuum energy'.

Bo Posted July 16, 2004 Report Share Posted July 16, 2004 looked up the correct number: The standard model predicts the following particles (gravity is not included) 12 leptons+anti leptons12 quarks + anti quarks1 photon (carrier of the electromagnetic force)3 intermediate vector bosons (carriers of the weak force)8 gluons (carriers of the strong force)1 Higgs particle (gives mass to a particle) Gives a total of 37. Gravity will give an extra particle (graviton) (and possibly also a gravitino)Supersymmetry would (almost) double this amount. Bo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
