I mean, what does it mean to have 43 00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:18,760 Speaker 1: good taste in movies? 44 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 4: You mean, like if I ate a movie. 45 00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:24,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. Like are certain movies like delicious or like, 46 00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:25,639 Speaker 1: you know, hard to swallow? 47 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,840 Speaker 4: I think some plot lines are definitely hard to swallow. Yeah, 48 00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,000 Speaker 4: but it's kind of an interesting question that you asked me. 49 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:33,640 Speaker 4: You're still of asking me, like, how can a movie taste? 50 00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,400 Speaker 4: Or how can somebody have good taste in music? 51 00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:38,760 Speaker 1: Yeah? Exactly, Like why do we use the word taste 52 00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:43,440 Speaker 1: to describe how we choose art or clothing or you know, 53 00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:46,240 Speaker 1: living room furniture. It's not like you're gonna eat that stuff. 54 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:50,040 Speaker 4: Well, it's probably just kind of a poetic analogy. 55 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:51,880 Speaker 1: You know, right, it's a little bit of poetry. Right, 56 00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:54,920 Speaker 1: We're saying, here's something we can't really describe, and we're 57 00:02:54,960 --> 00:03:11,760 Speaker 1: going to relate it to something we can describe. 58 00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:16,720 Speaker 4: Hi'm Horehem, a cartoonist and the creator of PhD comics. 59 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:20,360 Speaker 1: Hi I'm Daniel. I'm a particle physicist. I smash stuff 60 00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:23,200 Speaker 1: together at the large Hadron Collider to try to figure 61 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:24,800 Speaker 1: out what the world is made out of. 62 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,720 Speaker 4: And you are a listener with really good taste because 63 00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:31,000 Speaker 4: you are listening to our podcast. Daniel and Jorge explain 64 00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:34,160 Speaker 4: the Universe, a production of iHeartRadio. 65 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:37,400 Speaker 1: The most delicious podcast in the whole universe. But seriously, 66 00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:40,280 Speaker 1: our goal on this podcast really is to take the 67 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:43,000 Speaker 1: universe and slice it into bite sized pieces so you 68 00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:46,400 Speaker 1: can chew them one at a time and really digest each. 69 00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:51,400 Speaker 4: One, bite size installments of knowledge for your ears, taste buds. 70 00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:53,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. We want you to really be able to 71 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,360 Speaker 1: incorporate these ideas into your brain. Right, this is something 72 00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:59,120 Speaker 1: you don't just swallow it like a pill. We want 73 00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:01,640 Speaker 1: you to really, you know, take some time, chew it, 74 00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:05,120 Speaker 1: enjoy it, gave understand like the top notes and the 75 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:06,720 Speaker 1: back notes and the I don't even know what I'm 76 00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:09,200 Speaker 1: talking about here when it comes to names of their 77 00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:10,040 Speaker 1: various tastes. 78 00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:12,800 Speaker 4: Take your phone or whatever you're using to listen to 79 00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:14,840 Speaker 4: this and kind of swirl it around a little bit, 80 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:17,120 Speaker 4: you know, let this podcast errate a little bit. 81 00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:20,040 Speaker 1: Hey, I think this podcast has legs for tasting. That's 82 00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:22,279 Speaker 1: what they say about wine. You swirl it around and 83 00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:23,640 Speaker 1: you look to see if it has legs. 84 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,599 Speaker 4: Oh, I don't drink that much wine. 85 00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:28,200 Speaker 1: Well, I'm also complimenting your legs. 86 00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:29,839 Speaker 4: Orge, Hey, did shave them this morning? 87 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:33,000 Speaker 1: What I didn't want to hear that nobody wanted to 88 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,560 Speaker 1: hear that nobody wants to mint. Well, maybe some people 89 00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:37,479 Speaker 1: out there do want a mental image of Jorge shaving 90 00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:37,920 Speaker 1: his legs. 91 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 4: But I think the point is that there are words 92 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:46,080 Speaker 4: that physicists use sometimes describe physical phenomenon that is kind 93 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:50,360 Speaker 4: of weird to use, right, It's kind of it's kind 94 00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:53,960 Speaker 4: of like they're used for other things in the English language. 95 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:56,159 Speaker 1: Yeah, and we've talked about that a few times on 96 00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:59,000 Speaker 1: this podcast. Recently, we did a whole podcast about spin 97 00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:02,279 Speaker 1: in which you rightly insisted that we should have called 98 00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:05,760 Speaker 1: it like spin, because it's not spin. It's like spin. 99 00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:09,200 Speaker 1: But there's an important point there that we're sort of extrapolating. 100 00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:13,040 Speaker 1: We're saying, here's something weird and unknown, but it's sort 101 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,520 Speaker 1: of similar in interesting ways to this thing we do know, 102 00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:17,720 Speaker 1: and so let's give it that name so we can 103 00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:19,440 Speaker 1: associate these two ideas in our head. 104 00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:22,880 Speaker 4: Yeah, I am a grumpy person when it comes to nomenclature, 105 00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:25,880 Speaker 4: to naming things. I'll take that mantle. 106 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:27,960 Speaker 1: I've heard you do this yourself about your own work. 107 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,279 Speaker 1: What do you mean Sometimes you introduce your comic and 108 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:32,560 Speaker 1: if somebody if you don't get that flash of recognition 109 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:37,320 Speaker 1: you say, oh, PhD comics. It's like Dilbert but for academia. 110 00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:41,240 Speaker 4: Yeah and yeah, I think analogies are useful in the 111 00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:43,880 Speaker 4: English language, and that's why I use the word like. 112 00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:49,600 Speaker 1: But we relean on these heavily in physics. I mean, 113 00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:51,080 Speaker 1: when we talk about things. 114 00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:53,520 Speaker 4: Being particles, metaphors or analogies metaphors. 115 00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, and I would admit that we often use metaphors 116 00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 1: when we should be using analogies. But that's basically all 117 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,320 Speaker 1: we do. You know, in physics we try to describe 118 00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:05,440 Speaker 1: the unknown. And what can you do when you describe 119 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:08,520 Speaker 1: the unknown except related to the known? Right, So you're like, 120 00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:10,320 Speaker 1: what is a particle? Like, it's kind of like a 121 00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:12,919 Speaker 1: little spinning ball. Oh, it's kind of like a wave. 122 00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:15,280 Speaker 1: You know, how does this thing work? It's kind of 123 00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:18,480 Speaker 1: like this other thing. And that's the job of physics 124 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,480 Speaker 1: is to say, here's all these weird, disparate phenomena. Can 125 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:25,040 Speaker 1: we describe them using similar ideas? So there's this you know, 126 00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,240 Speaker 1: there's a good intention there. It's not like physics is 127 00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:30,279 Speaker 1: trying to deceive people by saying this has spinned and 128 00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:32,560 Speaker 1: this is a particle and it has this flavor. We're 129 00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:34,760 Speaker 1: doing our best to try to connect these things to 130 00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:36,480 Speaker 1: ideas that are already in your head to make them 131 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:37,599 Speaker 1: easier to understand. 132 00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:40,120 Speaker 4: And so today on the podcast, we'll be talking about 133 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:46,960 Speaker 4: what do quarks taste like? 134 00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:49,760 Speaker 1: That's right, what do quarks taste like? And what do 135 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:53,279 Speaker 1: they look like? Because in particle physics, we describe quarks 136 00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:57,280 Speaker 1: as having flavor, and we also describe them as having color, 137 00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:00,479 Speaker 1: And so you might be wondering, like, what, but how 138 00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:02,800 Speaker 1: does a tiny little particle have like a color or 139 00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:05,680 Speaker 1: a flavor? Like can you taste one particle at a time? 140 00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:08,440 Speaker 1: What does that really mean? These guys being literal, are 141 00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:12,880 Speaker 1: they being metaphorical? Are they being analogical? What's the word there? 142 00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:16,160 Speaker 4: Yeah, poetic? You know, wrong? 143 00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:19,040 Speaker 1: Perhaps there you go, and we will be open to 144 00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:22,520 Speaker 1: the possibility that physics has taken too many liberties in 145 00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:25,360 Speaker 1: bending the English language to describe what we've learned. 146 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:27,400 Speaker 4: Yeah. So, and there are a lot of examples like 147 00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:31,480 Speaker 4: this in physics, right, especially particle physics, because you're dealing 148 00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:34,400 Speaker 4: with some pretty weird and unknown things. 149 00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:36,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, we basically always have to do that when we're 150 00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:40,400 Speaker 1: describing these tiny, little weird things. We call particles. We're 151 00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:42,760 Speaker 1: always relying on things that we understand, even the whole 152 00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:45,360 Speaker 1: idea of a field, you know, like we've talked about 153 00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:48,679 Speaker 1: quantum fields and lectum magnetic fields. You know, you're relying 154 00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:53,840 Speaker 1: on your understanding of how these things work. You know, 155 00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:56,280 Speaker 1: a field in general, it's like I imagine like a 156 00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:58,400 Speaker 1: field of wheat or a field of grass, you know, 157 00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:02,160 Speaker 1: like thinking about how things change over a plane. So 158 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:05,760 Speaker 1: everything we do basically is some sort of poetic or 159 00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:08,040 Speaker 1: non poetic extension of the English language. 160 00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:11,760 Speaker 4: Today were in particular talking about quarks, right, because quarks 161 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:16,600 Speaker 4: have both color, flavor, and spin. But they actually don't 162 00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:18,520 Speaker 4: have neither color, flavor nor spin. 163 00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:21,880 Speaker 1: They have like flavor, like color, and like spin. 164 00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:26,080 Speaker 4: There you go, Yeah, there you go. Podcast done, Podcast over. 165 00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:28,720 Speaker 1: No, we're going to dig into exactly what that means. 166 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:32,040 Speaker 1: But I was curious what people thought. So I went 167 00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:34,640 Speaker 1: around the campus a UC Irvine and I asked people. First, 168 00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:36,600 Speaker 1: I asked them, hey, have you heard of a quark? 169 00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:39,959 Speaker 1: And most people you'll you'll hear their responses. But if 170 00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:42,240 Speaker 1: they hadn't, I asked them, well, would you believe me 171 00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:45,199 Speaker 1: if I told you that these tiny particles had flavor? 172 00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:45,760 Speaker 1: Or color. 173 00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:48,440 Speaker 4: Wait, if they had heard of them, you would ask 174 00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:50,800 Speaker 4: them if they knew that they had flavors. 175 00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:52,840 Speaker 1: That's right, if they if they had heard of them. 176 00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:55,160 Speaker 1: I asked them if they knew about quark flavor and color. 177 00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:57,520 Speaker 1: If they hadn't, I said, would you believe me if 178 00:08:57,559 --> 00:08:59,640 Speaker 1: I told you that they had flavors and colors? 179 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:01,679 Speaker 4: Like a multi part question here? All right? 180 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,800 Speaker 1: Yeah? Otherwise it was just too short a conversation. Have 181 00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:05,520 Speaker 1: you heard of quarks? 182 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:05,680 Speaker 5: No? 183 00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:07,040 Speaker 1: All right, well, there you go. 184 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:09,280 Speaker 4: Those of you listening, maybe take a second to think 185 00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:11,199 Speaker 4: about if somebody approach you on the street and ask 186 00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:14,720 Speaker 4: you what a quarks taste like, or what's their flavor 187 00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:18,000 Speaker 4: or color? What would you answer? Here's what people had 188 00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:18,560 Speaker 4: to say. 189 00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:20,720 Speaker 1: Have you heard of quarks? Do you know what quarks are? 190 00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:25,560 Speaker 1: I've heard of them. They're supposed to have colors and flavors. 191 00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:27,440 Speaker 1: Do you know what quark colors and flavors means? 192 00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:31,200 Speaker 4: No, quork is a delightful like yogurt y kind of 193 00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:33,160 Speaker 4: a thing. So that's the first thing that I thought of. 194 00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:35,760 Speaker 1: What the question is, do you know what quark flavors are? 195 00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:37,080 Speaker 5: Wow? 196 00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:42,080 Speaker 1: You're not talking strawberry blueberry? For the yogurt. I have 197 00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:43,440 Speaker 1: heard of quark flavors. 198 00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:46,880 Speaker 4: Yes, I have heard of quarks another thing, don't know 199 00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:47,440 Speaker 4: what they are. 200 00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:51,120 Speaker 1: Did you know that quarks come in different colors and flavors? No? 201 00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:54,320 Speaker 4: I wish I could say yes, but I don't have. 202 00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:55,319 Speaker 1: Heard of them. 203 00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:57,360 Speaker 4: What no quirky people. 204 00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:00,000 Speaker 1: Did you know that quarks, the fundamental particles, come in 205 00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:01,120 Speaker 1: different flavors and colors. 206 00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:05,160 Speaker 4: I had also heard that, but I can't believe I 207 00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:05,440 Speaker 4: did not. 208 00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,840 Speaker 6: All right, great, Yeah, they're one of the parts of 209 00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:11,760 Speaker 6: protons and neutrons, right. 210 00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:14,160 Speaker 1: Did you know that they come in different colors and flavors? 211 00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:18,120 Speaker 1: Can you explain that? Do they really taste and look different? 212 00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:20,920 Speaker 6: No, it's just a way that it's describe, and there's 213 00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:23,600 Speaker 6: up and down, and I don't really understand too much 214 00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:24,240 Speaker 6: how that works. 215 00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:26,400 Speaker 4: I would have a hard time believing that because as 216 00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:28,080 Speaker 4: far as I know, we don't really see. 217 00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:30,160 Speaker 1: The quantum mechanic goal side of. 218 00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:32,199 Speaker 4: The world, so I don't know how that would work exactly. 219 00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:36,560 Speaker 4: All right, A pretty delicious set of answers there. 220 00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:40,319 Speaker 1: That's right. Yeah. I was amazed to learn that there 221 00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:44,200 Speaker 1: actually is a European yogurt product called quark that does 222 00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:45,440 Speaker 1: come in various flavors. 223 00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:46,360 Speaker 4: Is that true? 224 00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:48,880 Speaker 1: That is true. I verified that via Google. 225 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:51,439 Speaker 4: Well, technically that yogurt probably does have a lot of 226 00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:51,959 Speaker 4: quarks in. 227 00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:54,240 Speaker 1: It, that's true. We should relabel everything in the grocery 228 00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:55,439 Speaker 1: store as mostly. 229 00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:56,800 Speaker 4: Quarks, quarks and electrons. 230 00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:58,960 Speaker 1: Is that going to be a part of physics food company? 231 00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:01,160 Speaker 1: Quarks and electrons? Yum, yum, yum. 232 00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:02,680 Speaker 4: That's right, you can put it. You can have a 233 00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:05,920 Speaker 4: patent for pretty much anything, and you would dominate the 234 00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:07,240 Speaker 4: entire global economy. 235 00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:09,839 Speaker 1: That's true, And that's something I think most people haven't 236 00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:12,760 Speaker 1: really gotten their minds around the fact that everything they 237 00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:15,280 Speaker 1: eat is just made out of the same particles, and 238 00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:17,560 Speaker 1: it's made out of the same particles in basically the 239 00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:20,760 Speaker 1: same numbers. You know, you have a spoonful of yogurt, 240 00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:23,120 Speaker 1: and you have a spoonful of I don't know what's 241 00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:27,200 Speaker 1: something healthy, ice cream or lentils or whatever. Then it 242 00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:30,040 Speaker 1: has the same particles in it, they're just arranged differently. 243 00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:34,200 Speaker 1: So the thingness that you're eating, the yumminess or the grossness, 244 00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:36,640 Speaker 1: comes entirely from how those particles are put together, not 245 00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:40,280 Speaker 1: what they're actually made out of, which endlessly fascinates me 246 00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:43,480 Speaker 1: that was a bit of a digression. Sorry, But onto 247 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:46,800 Speaker 1: the topic of quarks being tasty. Maybe we should first 248 00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:49,640 Speaker 1: remind people what a quark is and where it sits 249 00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:52,280 Speaker 1: in the sort of hierarchy of particles, and then dig 250 00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:53,920 Speaker 1: into their flavors and colors. 251 00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:56,320 Speaker 4: All right, Yeah, so let's break it down for people, 252 00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:58,640 Speaker 4: or remind them what is a quarked anyone? 253 00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:01,200 Speaker 1: It's a delicious European o gret apparently, all right? 254 00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:03,160 Speaker 4: And what flavors does it come in? And what color 255 00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:05,880 Speaker 4: is it? 256 00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:09,080 Speaker 1: It comes in strawberry and blueberry. No, A quark is, 257 00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:12,480 Speaker 1: as far as we know, a fundamental particle, right, So 258 00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:14,720 Speaker 1: if you look at the stuff around you, then you 259 00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:16,960 Speaker 1: know stuff is made out of atoms, elements of the 260 00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:19,839 Speaker 1: periodic table. You dig into those atoms of courses. A 261 00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:23,760 Speaker 1: nucleus surrounded by electrons, and inside the nucleus are protons 262 00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:28,160 Speaker 1: and neutrons, right, protons being positively charged and neutrons being neutral. 263 00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:31,040 Speaker 1: But inside the protons and neutrons are these particles we 264 00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:33,800 Speaker 1: call quarks. And there's either two up quarks and a 265 00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:36,559 Speaker 1: down or two down quarks and an up, and that 266 00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:39,959 Speaker 1: gives you protons and neutrons. So even the smallest level, 267 00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:42,080 Speaker 1: everything is made out of these little pieces that are 268 00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:44,920 Speaker 1: arranged differently. The same basic building blocks can give you 269 00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:47,960 Speaker 1: protons or neutrons. You're just sort of different numbers of 270 00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:49,439 Speaker 1: the stuff and arrange differently. 271 00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:51,160 Speaker 4: Right, Because I think most of us learn about the 272 00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:54,120 Speaker 4: atom in high school, right, and we learn that there's 273 00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:58,559 Speaker 4: little nucleus with protons and neutrons and then little electrons 274 00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:02,480 Speaker 4: flying around them. But the thing you're saying is that 275 00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:05,400 Speaker 4: those things inside the nucleus are not actually things. They're 276 00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:08,360 Speaker 4: just kind of configurations of smaller things. 277 00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:10,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, well, there are things in the same level that 278 00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:12,720 Speaker 1: you're a thing, right, You're a thing, and your configurations 279 00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:15,360 Speaker 1: of smaller things, and those smaller things are configuration of 280 00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:17,880 Speaker 1: smaller things, and on and on and on until we 281 00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:19,679 Speaker 1: don't know when. In the end, everything is made out 282 00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:21,959 Speaker 1: of these particles and there really are the fundamental building 283 00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:24,640 Speaker 1: blocks of Like all the matter you've seen, all the 284 00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:26,920 Speaker 1: matter you've tasted, all the things you see in the 285 00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,520 Speaker 1: night sky. You know those stars out there, and they're 286 00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:32,680 Speaker 1: made mostly out of quarks. The planet under your feet 287 00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:34,960 Speaker 1: is made mostly out of quarks. Your hand that you're 288 00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:36,880 Speaker 1: looking at right now is made mostly out of quarks. 289 00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:39,200 Speaker 1: The brain you're using to hear this podcast is made 290 00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:42,840 Speaker 1: mostly out of quarks, but two quarks, in particular upquarks 291 00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:43,800 Speaker 1: and down quarks. 292 00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:46,520 Speaker 4: And they are, as far as you know, the fundamental 293 00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:48,160 Speaker 4: in the sense that you as far as you know, 294 00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:50,600 Speaker 4: you can't split them any further, or they're not made 295 00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:53,040 Speaker 4: out of even smaller things themselves. 296 00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:55,280 Speaker 1: That's right, as far as we know, but that's mostly 297 00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:57,920 Speaker 1: because we don't have enough power to break them further. 298 00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:00,360 Speaker 1: And you know, there's an interesting bit of history that 299 00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:03,080 Speaker 1: for a long time people thought protons and neutrons were 300 00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:06,000 Speaker 1: fundamental particles. They were the smallest things we had found yet. 301 00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:09,360 Speaker 1: And then people came up with an idea that there 302 00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:12,200 Speaker 1: might be particles inside the protons and neutrons, and you know, 303 00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:14,439 Speaker 1: they call them quarks. But inside the field, there was 304 00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:17,600 Speaker 1: a debate for a long time about whether quarks were real, like, 305 00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:19,920 Speaker 1: you know, are they really there or is it just 306 00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:22,720 Speaker 1: something we use in our calculations that helps us figure 307 00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:24,880 Speaker 1: out how the math works. And they're sort of a 308 00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:27,320 Speaker 1: lively debate for a while until you know, we actually 309 00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:30,440 Speaker 1: saw quarks by breaking open the proton and interacting with 310 00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:31,520 Speaker 1: them directly. 311 00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:34,000 Speaker 4: Right, But you don't actually see the quarks, right, Like, 312 00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:37,080 Speaker 4: you don't detect the quarks, you detect what they turn 313 00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:38,800 Speaker 4: into or what they break into. 314 00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:42,680 Speaker 1: That's right. Quarks by themselves don't hang out very long. 315 00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:46,480 Speaker 1: They have such powerful forces, the strong nuclear force, that 316 00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:48,720 Speaker 1: they gather other stuff around them very very quickly, So 317 00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:51,160 Speaker 1: you almost never see In fact, you never see a 318 00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:54,360 Speaker 1: free qrk a naked cork just by itself. It very 319 00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:57,280 Speaker 1: quickly just grabs energy out of the vacuum and dresses 320 00:14:57,320 --> 00:14:58,560 Speaker 1: itself up. But they're very shy. 321 00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:00,320 Speaker 4: Who wants a bunch of physicists to see than they 322 00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:02,240 Speaker 4: ca it? I mean, I think a lot of people 323 00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:02,600 Speaker 4: can really. 324 00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:05,200 Speaker 1: Oh, I won't answer that question. I'm not qualified to 325 00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:06,200 Speaker 1: speak to that question. 326 00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:08,960 Speaker 4: So you've never seen a qure by itself. You mostly 327 00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:11,600 Speaker 4: see the bits of it. But from your theory you 328 00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:15,360 Speaker 4: can piece together that at some point in that shower 329 00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:18,200 Speaker 4: of stuff there a quark existed. 330 00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:21,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. And also on the other side, remember we're 331 00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:24,480 Speaker 1: colliding protons. So when we start out, we collide protons, 332 00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:27,280 Speaker 1: but protons are basically just bags of quarks, and we 333 00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:30,680 Speaker 1: speed them up so much that what's actually interacting are 334 00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:34,960 Speaker 1: the quarks inside the proton because the energy of the quark, 335 00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:37,320 Speaker 1: the energy the quarks have when they're moving in the beams, 336 00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:39,880 Speaker 1: is much much bigger than the energy that's holding the 337 00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:43,040 Speaker 1: proton together. So you can basically just disregard that. So 338 00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:44,920 Speaker 1: on one hand, you can think of the large Hadron 339 00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:47,800 Speaker 1: collider as a proton collider, but really we think of 340 00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:50,520 Speaker 1: it as a quark collider because it's colliding these bags 341 00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:52,840 Speaker 1: of quarks against each other. So while we've never like 342 00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:55,960 Speaker 1: individually seen a quark by itself, we have a lot 343 00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:58,040 Speaker 1: of pretty direct evidence that they do exist. 344 00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:01,400 Speaker 4: So you're telling me you even name your own machines wrong, 345 00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:05,520 Speaker 4: like your your machine should have been called the large 346 00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:06,480 Speaker 4: QUARKI we. 347 00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:08,640 Speaker 1: Need you, man, I keep telling you we need you 348 00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:10,680 Speaker 1: on these committees for the name because some of. 349 00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:13,200 Speaker 4: My services are available for a fee. 350 00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:15,800 Speaker 1: I'll put you in the budget next time. 351 00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:19,800 Speaker 4: Namer that's my name, or scientist. 352 00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:25,320 Speaker 1: What you just named yourself the namer? If you're that good, 353 00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:27,320 Speaker 1: if you're gonna be the I mean, it's direct. I 354 00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:29,160 Speaker 1: like it, it's simple. But if you're going to go 355 00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:31,200 Speaker 1: for like I'm in charge of naming stuff for physics, 356 00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:33,120 Speaker 1: you've got to be a little more creative than that, right, 357 00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:34,960 Speaker 1: his grand naminess. 358 00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:36,760 Speaker 4: It's simple and direct. That's what I keep what I 359 00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:41,520 Speaker 4: keep telling you guys, you need to be not poetic 360 00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:44,800 Speaker 4: the namer of particles. 361 00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:47,080 Speaker 1: No poetic flourish is allowed here. Huh. 362 00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:50,280 Speaker 4: Well, so let's get into what a cork tastes like 363 00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:53,400 Speaker 4: or what a quirk looks like. But first let's take 364 00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:54,120 Speaker 4: a quick break. 365 00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:01,600 Speaker 1: With big wireless providers, what you see is never what 366 00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:04,400 Speaker 1: you get. Somewhere between the store and your first month's bill, 367 00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:07,480 Speaker 1: the price, your thoughts you were paying magically skyrockets. With 368 00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:11,040 Speaker 1: mint Mobile, You'll never have to worry about gotcha's ever again. 369 00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:13,359 Speaker 1: When Mint Mobile says fifteen dollars a month for a 370 00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:16,200 Speaker 1: three month plan, they really mean it.

The problem is that AI 391 00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:15,120 Speaker 7: needs a lot of speed and processing power. So how 392 00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:18,280 Speaker 7: do you compete without cost spiraling out of control. It's 393 00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:20,600 Speaker 7: time to upgrade to the next generation of the cloud. 394 00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:26,160 Speaker 7: Oracle Cloud Infrastructure or OCI. OCI is a single platform 395 00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:31,040 Speaker 7: for your infrastructure, database, application development, and AI needs.

Apple Card and Savings 412 00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:25,760 Speaker 1: by Goldman Sachs Bank USA Salt Lake City Branch Member 413 00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:37,440 Speaker 1: FDIC terms and more at applecard dot com. 414 00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:40,080 Speaker 4: All right, so we're digging into quarks today, and in 415 00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:47,639 Speaker 4: particular this idea that a quark has flavor, it wears 416 00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:48,159 Speaker 4: bling and. 417 00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:52,160 Speaker 1: No, it gets even funnier than that because there are 418 00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:55,840 Speaker 1: other quarks out there, right, and those quarks are heavier, 419 00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:58,360 Speaker 1: so they're just like the upcork and the down cork, 420 00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:00,879 Speaker 1: but they have more mass. So we often refer to 421 00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:03,919 Speaker 1: those other quarks as heavy flavor. And I remember in 422 00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:06,840 Speaker 1: grad school telling my friends who are like biologists or 423 00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:09,600 Speaker 1: you know, political science grad students, what I was working on. 424 00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:11,720 Speaker 1: I said, I'm working on heavy flavor, And to them 425 00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:12,800 Speaker 1: that totally sounded like. 426 00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:14,720 Speaker 4: A rap group Heavy flavor. 427 00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:17,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm gonna drop some heavy flavor on you today. Man. 428 00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:21,280 Speaker 4: There is a well known YouTuber who raps and sings 429 00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:24,040 Speaker 4: about physics. You've heard of him, met him? I've met him. 430 00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:25,600 Speaker 4: But have you heard of him? 431 00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:26,680 Speaker 1: Yeah? Isn't it a woman? 432 00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:28,679 Speaker 4: No, No, it's a guy who does a lot of 433 00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:30,440 Speaker 4: a cappella songs about physics. 434 00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:34,160 Speaker 1: Oh, yes, I have heard of him. Acapella science. He's fantastic. 435 00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:36,919 Speaker 1: There's another there's a famous rap about the LHC that 436 00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:40,480 Speaker 1: was done by a young graduate student. She's also pretty good. 437 00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:43,320 Speaker 1: So this turns out there's a whole community of physics 438 00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:44,120 Speaker 1: rappers out there. 439 00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:46,280 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's exactly what the world needs. 440 00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:50,520 Speaker 1: But back to the top of quarks. The idea of 441 00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:53,200 Speaker 1: flavors is that there's more than just the upquark and 442 00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:56,000 Speaker 1: the downquark. Those exist those make the proton and the neutron, 443 00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:59,160 Speaker 1: but sometimes you can also make these other quarks. They're 444 00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:02,880 Speaker 1: called charm and strange, top and bottom. And the thing 445 00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:05,240 Speaker 1: that's interesting about the other quarks is that they're very 446 00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:07,320 Speaker 1: similar to the upcork in the down cork. They're like 447 00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:10,040 Speaker 1: copies of those quarks, they're just heavier. 448 00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:13,640 Speaker 4: So is that kind of what happened that at first 449 00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:15,919 Speaker 4: you only had two quarks up and down, and then 450 00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:18,399 Speaker 4: you discovered more quarks, so you had to come up 451 00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:19,200 Speaker 4: with other names. 452 00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:21,400 Speaker 1: Yes, exactly if the first thing that up and the down, 453 00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:25,359 Speaker 1: and then they found the strange cork, and after that 454 00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:27,840 Speaker 1: they found the charm cork, and then the bottom and 455 00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:28,680 Speaker 1: then the top quark. 456 00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:31,240 Speaker 4: Because I wonder if physicists thought that there were only 457 00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:33,840 Speaker 4: two so they went with up and down, and then 458 00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:35,560 Speaker 4: they're like, wait, there's another one. What do we call 459 00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:38,760 Speaker 4: this one? Side? Left, right, front, back? 460 00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:42,640 Speaker 1: No, it actually did happen that way. There were these 461 00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:45,160 Speaker 1: particles that were kind of weird, so they called them 462 00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:49,560 Speaker 1: strange particles very creatively, and then when they discovered that 463 00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:51,879 Speaker 1: the reason they were strange was that they included a 464 00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:54,639 Speaker 1: new kind of quark, they called that the strange cork. 465 00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:56,879 Speaker 4: And then there was one that was just particularly charming, 466 00:21:57,040 --> 00:21:58,960 Speaker 4: and you're like, let's call this one the charm cork. 467 00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:05,160 Speaker 1: So we were saying that every particle, every quirk has 468 00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:08,040 Speaker 1: like two cousins or two versions of it. The down 469 00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:10,919 Speaker 1: cork aligns with the strange cork. So then when they thought, well, 470 00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:12,960 Speaker 1: there must be a fourth quirk to balance it out, 471 00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:16,640 Speaker 1: they needed to make it somehow like above the strange 472 00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:20,080 Speaker 1: cork the way like the way up is above the down. 473 00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:22,359 Speaker 1: So they were like, well, what's you know, sort of 474 00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:25,240 Speaker 1: in that category, but you know higher, So they went 475 00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:27,240 Speaker 1: for charm. Oh I see, and you know this is 476 00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:29,840 Speaker 1: where the poetry is. They were like grasping for some 477 00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:32,720 Speaker 1: sort of relationship to try and describe these weird particles 478 00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:35,960 Speaker 1: using you know, English, and so they did their best, 479 00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:38,800 Speaker 1: and they came up with charm. They thought, charm is 480 00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:40,880 Speaker 1: too strange. The way up is to down. 481 00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:44,520 Speaker 4: I can see that in like an SAT question. You know, 482 00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:49,000 Speaker 4: up is to down as strange as to obviously charm. 483 00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:53,960 Speaker 1: Obviously charge that's exactly what we did. Yes, somebody was 484 00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:56,520 Speaker 1: doing the SAT and that's how we need particles. And 485 00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:58,960 Speaker 1: then when they found another one and it aligned again 486 00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:01,320 Speaker 1: with the down cork, they called it the bottom, which 487 00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:04,080 Speaker 1: is not a great moment of creativity, right, But once 488 00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:05,760 Speaker 1: they called it the bottom, then they had to call 489 00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:06,600 Speaker 1: the other one the top. 490 00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:09,800 Speaker 4: If you find another one, it'll be the lower and 491 00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:12,480 Speaker 4: the under exactly. 492 00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:15,920 Speaker 1: I No. Interestingly, we've actually proven that there are only 493 00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:18,840 Speaker 1: three different flavors of quarks. So when we say flavor 494 00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:21,120 Speaker 1: of quarks, that's what we mean. We mean either this 495 00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:25,320 Speaker 1: first group up and down, or the second group charm 496 00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:28,440 Speaker 1: and strange, or the third group top and bottom. So 497 00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:30,960 Speaker 1: there are three flavors of quark, and they're not strawberry, 498 00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:33,800 Speaker 1: blueberry and vanilla there. You know that first group, the 499 00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:35,040 Speaker 1: second group, and the third group. 500 00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:37,719 Speaker 4: Okay, So the idea is that first you only had 501 00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:40,600 Speaker 4: two up and down, and you discovered more, and so 502 00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:44,680 Speaker 4: suddenly you needed a name that tells you that separates 503 00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:46,840 Speaker 4: all of these different versions of the quarks. 504 00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:49,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, and probably somebody was like, what can we do? 505 00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:51,280 Speaker 1: How can we name it? Maybe they like went down 506 00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:52,680 Speaker 1: for ice cream and they were looking at all the 507 00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:55,520 Speaker 1: different flavors and they were thinking, all these things are 508 00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:58,199 Speaker 1: all similar, but each is a little different, you know, 509 00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:00,240 Speaker 1: And so I think they were grasping for some think 510 00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:03,080 Speaker 1: poetic there they were trying to describe how these particles 511 00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:06,200 Speaker 1: have relationships. But they're each a little tweaked version of 512 00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:08,639 Speaker 1: the other one, and so, you know, flavor. It's not 513 00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:10,760 Speaker 1: a perfect description, but it's not terrible either. 514 00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:14,640 Speaker 4: Well it's weird because it's not really a quality. It's 515 00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:18,560 Speaker 4: not really a measurable quality, right, or quantity. It's just 516 00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:21,400 Speaker 4: it's just like a category. It's like it's basically another 517 00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:26,119 Speaker 4: word for category or another word for types. 518 00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:31,360 Speaker 1: Type. Yeah, yeah, exactly, it's trying to describe basically the 519 00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:34,960 Speaker 1: type of type or the relationships between these three types, right, 520 00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:37,359 Speaker 1: saying we have these three types of things, what's the 521 00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:39,960 Speaker 1: relationship between them? And you know, to make it even 522 00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:42,720 Speaker 1: more complicated, there's actually sort of like dueling ways to 523 00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:45,800 Speaker 1: talk about this. Some people say, oh, there's three flavors 524 00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:48,879 Speaker 1: of quarks. Other people say there's three families of quarks 525 00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:52,040 Speaker 1: or three generations of quarks because they think that, you know, 526 00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:55,280 Speaker 1: the cousin analogy works better than like the ice cream 527 00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:56,280 Speaker 1: flavor analogy. 528 00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:59,800 Speaker 4: So there's there is debate even within the physics community. 529 00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:02,000 Speaker 4: How good you guys thinks? 530 00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:05,560 Speaker 1: I think the fact that nobody can agree on how 531 00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:07,639 Speaker 1: to call them pretty much settles the fact that we 532 00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:09,200 Speaker 1: didn't do a great job naming them. 533 00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:10,679 Speaker 4: But I guess what I'm saying is it's not a 534 00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:13,640 Speaker 4: property that's like on a spectrum, you know, like a 535 00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:16,040 Speaker 4: you know, like a real flavor sweet. You can have 536 00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:19,320 Speaker 4: something really really sweet or less sweet and everything in between. 537 00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:22,880 Speaker 4: But a flavor for quarks is not really it's really 538 00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:24,959 Speaker 4: more like strawberry or blueberry. 539 00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:28,080 Speaker 1: It's quantized. Right, You're right. You can't be halfway in 540 00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:30,640 Speaker 1: between one type or the other. You can't be half 541 00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:33,960 Speaker 1: up down and half top bottom, right, that's not possible. 542 00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:35,440 Speaker 1: You're either one or the other. 543 00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:37,399 Speaker 4: Well, I guess. But then the question is do they 544 00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:41,040 Speaker 4: have flavor? Like is there something about quarks and they're 545 00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:45,840 Speaker 4: different flavors that is maybe analogous to real flavor. 546 00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:48,320 Speaker 1: I don't think so. I think it's a bit of 547 00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:51,280 Speaker 1: a stretch. I mean, quarks do have flavor in the 548 00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:53,760 Speaker 1: sense that they taste like stuff, Like the last thing 549 00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:55,399 Speaker 1: you ate was made of quarks, and I hope it 550 00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:59,199 Speaker 1: tasted good. But quarks themselves, you know, they have no 551 00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:02,439 Speaker 1: and flavor in that sense. And this quality that we 552 00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:06,199 Speaker 1: call flavor has, you know, only the most tenuous relationship 553 00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:08,840 Speaker 1: with the quality that you and I think of as flavor. 554 00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:11,080 Speaker 4: Okay, so it's not like it's something about the way 555 00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:15,080 Speaker 4: they react to other things, or it's not something related 556 00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:19,560 Speaker 4: to how other particles feel them. It's just sort of 557 00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:21,600 Speaker 4: a name they use for like when you go to 558 00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:23,800 Speaker 4: the ice cream store and there are different types of 559 00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:24,920 Speaker 4: things to choose from. 560 00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:28,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. And again I think it's trying to show 561 00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:30,760 Speaker 1: that they're part of a larger category, but there are 562 00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:32,840 Speaker 1: different elements in that category. 563 00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:37,680 Speaker 4: That they're also ad under the same freezer. Yes, exactly, basically, right, 564 00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:40,440 Speaker 4: I think they're all sort of a here all together, 565 00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:41,520 Speaker 4: and you can order one of them. 566 00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:44,119 Speaker 1: Yeah, that about sums it up. Quarks are all different 567 00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:46,200 Speaker 1: varieties of frozen treats. 568 00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:48,280 Speaker 4: All right. So that's flavors. And so let's get into 569 00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:52,080 Speaker 4: what color quarks are, because apparently quarks also have color 570 00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:55,680 Speaker 4: in addition to spin, which they have neither of. But first, 571 00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:56,879 Speaker 4: let's take a quick break. 572 00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:03,400 Speaker 1: When you pop a piece of cheese into your mouth 573 00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:06,640 Speaker 1: or enjoy a rich spoonful of Greek yogurt, you're probably 574 00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:10,720 Speaker 1: not thinking about the environmental impact of each and every bite, 575 00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:13,399 Speaker 1: but the people in the dairy industry are. US Dairy 576 00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:17,719 Speaker 1: has set themselves some ambitious sustainability goals, including being greenhouse 577 00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:20,320 Speaker 1: gas neutral by twenty to fifty. That's why they're working 578 00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:22,680 Speaker 1: hard every day to find new ways to reduce waste, 579 00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:27,000 Speaker 1: conserve natural resources, and drive down greenhouse gas emissions. Take water, 580 00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:30,119 Speaker 1: for example, most dairy farms reuse water up to four 581 00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:33,640 Speaker 1: times the same water cools the milk, cleans equipment, washes 582 00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:36,480 Speaker 1: the barn, and irrigates the crops. How is US dairy 583 00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:40,240 Speaker 1: tackling greenhouse gases? Many farms use anaerobic digestors that turn 584 00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:44,159 Speaker 1: the methane from maneuver into renewable energy that can power farms, towns, 585 00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:46,320 Speaker 1: and electric cars. So the next time you grab a 586 00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:48,359 Speaker 1: slice of pizza or lick an ice cream cone, know 587 00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:51,120 Speaker 1: that dairy farmers and processors around the country are using 588 00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:54,640 Speaker 1: the latest practices and innovations to provide the nutrient dense 589 00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:57,480 Speaker 1: dairy products we love with less of an impact.

You guys give colors to quarks, 606 00:28:56,960 --> 00:28:59,320 Speaker 4: And so this one you're telling me is a little 607 00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:00,800 Speaker 4: bit more more more than just poetic. 608 00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:04,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think this one really does convey something about 609 00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:07,320 Speaker 1: how the property works, the relationships that has it really 610 00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:08,680 Speaker 1: makes the more sense if you think about it in 611 00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:11,960 Speaker 1: terms of color. And this relates to how the quarks 612 00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:15,280 Speaker 1: interact with each other. I remember that these quarks are 613 00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:18,480 Speaker 1: bound together inside a proton or inside a neutron, and 614 00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:20,920 Speaker 1: you might ask, like what holds them together? And you're 615 00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:24,920 Speaker 1: probably familiar with thinking about electromagnetism, Like electrons are negative 616 00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:28,360 Speaker 1: and protons are positive, and so they feel these forces. 617 00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:30,640 Speaker 1: That's what hold the atoms together. Well, what holds the 618 00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:33,560 Speaker 1: proton and neutron together is a totally different force. It's 619 00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:35,320 Speaker 1: the strong nuclear. 620 00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:38,240 Speaker 4: Force, right, So, and the strong nuclear force is one 621 00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:42,280 Speaker 4: of the four fundamental forces. Right, there's other big forces 622 00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:45,000 Speaker 4: that make particles push and pull on each other. 623 00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:48,280 Speaker 1: That's right. We have gravity, we have electromagnetism, we have 624 00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:50,840 Speaker 1: the strong nuclear force, and we have the weak nuclear force. 625 00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:54,640 Speaker 1: And actually we've already combined the weak nuclear force with electromagnetism, 626 00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:57,240 Speaker 1: so you can think of it as three sometimes. But 627 00:29:57,400 --> 00:29:59,000 Speaker 1: strong is its own. 628 00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:02,360 Speaker 4: Yeah, strong is it all this time I've been saying. 629 00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:05,560 Speaker 1: For you're like decades behind the time. Man, you should 630 00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:06,479 Speaker 1: like talk to a particle. 631 00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:10,920 Speaker 4: I think I read that in a book that we wrote, Daniel. 632 00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:14,360 Speaker 1: I think I added a footnote that caveat somewhere in 633 00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:17,880 Speaker 1: that book. Yes, it's called the electro Week because it 634 00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:21,200 Speaker 1: turns out that the weak nuclear force and electromagnetism are 635 00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:23,920 Speaker 1: really just two sides of the same coin. That's fascinating. 636 00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:26,360 Speaker 1: And actually it's connected to the Higgs boson, which is 637 00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:29,600 Speaker 1: also really interesting, but we'll talk about that on another podcast. 638 00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:32,800 Speaker 1: But the strong nuclear force stands apart because, first of all, 639 00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:36,360 Speaker 1: it's really strong, but also has this really weird property. 640 00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:40,680 Speaker 1: Unlike electromagnetism, which can be like positive or negative, so 641 00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:44,440 Speaker 1: there's two different charges there. The strong nuclear force has 642 00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:46,360 Speaker 1: three different charges. 643 00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:47,920 Speaker 4: Right, And I just want to add a footnote here 644 00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:50,720 Speaker 4: that I actually agree with the naming criteria you have 645 00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:52,920 Speaker 4: here and that you called it the strong nuclear force 646 00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:56,560 Speaker 4: because it's strong, Like that's a that's simplicity I can 647 00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:57,200 Speaker 4: stand behind. 648 00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:01,800 Speaker 1: All right, I'll let people know that this one has 649 00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:04,280 Speaker 1: your seal of approval, the name has approved. It not 650 00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:06,959 Speaker 1: official yet, you're still the unofficial namer. Right, let's not 651 00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:09,920 Speaker 1: jump the gun. But yeah, I'm working on it. I'm 652 00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:13,280 Speaker 1: getting the paperwork through. Yes, the strong nuclear force has 653 00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:16,200 Speaker 1: these three different kinds of charges. And you might be 654 00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:19,160 Speaker 1: thinking three. That's weird, like this positive and negative? What 655 00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:21,880 Speaker 1: else could there be? Not zero? Right? But there's three 656 00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:26,280 Speaker 1: different non zero charges. And so instead of having just 657 00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:29,080 Speaker 1: sort of one axis with positive and negative, you have 658 00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:31,680 Speaker 1: to have sort of a weirder image in your mind 659 00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:35,080 Speaker 1: because there's three different directions. You can go from zero 660 00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:35,800 Speaker 1: instead of two. 661 00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:38,600 Speaker 4: And by charges, you mean like you know, if it's 662 00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:41,600 Speaker 4: if it's the electromnetic force. You know, if I'm minus 663 00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:43,880 Speaker 4: and your minus, we're going to repel each other. Right, 664 00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:45,360 Speaker 4: So it's kind of like what the term. 665 00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:47,320 Speaker 1: Would never happen? Man, that would never happen? 666 00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:52,200 Speaker 4: Which part that we're both negative we repel each other. 667 00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:52,760 Speaker 1: Exactly. 668 00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:54,920 Speaker 4: I'm pretty sure we're pretty negative some those. 669 00:31:56,600 --> 00:31:58,280 Speaker 1: Well, as long as one of us is positive, it 670 00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:01,800 Speaker 1: will all work out. But yes, exactly, two negatives repel 671 00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:03,880 Speaker 1: each other and two positives repel each other. 672 00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:06,560 Speaker 4: But so it's kind of like a label, you know, 673 00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:10,200 Speaker 4: like it determines what this force is going to do 674 00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:10,640 Speaker 4: to the. 675 00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:13,200 Speaker 1: Two of us. Yes, exactly, it's just like a label. 676 00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:17,560 Speaker 1: And electromagnetism, there's two possible labels, positive or negative, and 677 00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:21,600 Speaker 1: as you said, the same labels repel and opposite labels attract. 678 00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:26,480 Speaker 1: But in the strong nuclear force, there are three different labels, 679 00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:29,400 Speaker 1: and the math is kind of weird. Like if you 680 00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:33,400 Speaker 1: have particles that have all three labels and you bring 681 00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:36,960 Speaker 1: them together, they cancel out, just like if you have 682 00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:39,360 Speaker 1: an electromagnetism, you have a positive and negative and you 683 00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:42,840 Speaker 1: bring them together, they cancel out to zero. In the 684 00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:45,200 Speaker 1: strong nuclear force, you need one of each of these 685 00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:49,120 Speaker 1: three different charges to bring them together to get zero. 686 00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:51,760 Speaker 4: So quarks. When it comes to this strong nuclear force, 687 00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:55,000 Speaker 4: then you can be one of three things. And these 688 00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:57,000 Speaker 4: three things are called color. 689 00:32:57,160 --> 00:32:59,840 Speaker 1: That's right, we call them color. We call them red, green, 690 00:32:59,880 --> 00:33:04,080 Speaker 1: and blue. And the idea is that not having a 691 00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:07,480 Speaker 1: color is called white, right, or colorless. And the idea 692 00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:09,920 Speaker 1: is that if you add red, green, and blue together, 693 00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:12,680 Speaker 1: you get white. And so it's trying to describe the 694 00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:16,040 Speaker 1: mathematics of that, right, this weird business where you need 695 00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:18,720 Speaker 1: one of each of the three things together to cancel 696 00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:20,720 Speaker 1: it all out to get back to zero. The other 697 00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:22,920 Speaker 1: thing that's like that in our world is color. 698 00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:24,960 Speaker 4: But wait, let's like a step back and let me 699 00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:27,000 Speaker 4: let me understand this a little bit. So if I'm, 700 00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:30,360 Speaker 4: for example, if I'm one kind of strong charge, Like 701 00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:33,600 Speaker 4: if I'm red and you're blue, what does that mean 702 00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:35,040 Speaker 4: between the two of us. Are we going to repel 703 00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:36,160 Speaker 4: each other or attract each other? 704 00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:37,760 Speaker 1: Oh, We're definitely going to attract each other. 705 00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:40,480 Speaker 4: Okay, what if I'm like blue and you're green. 706 00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:41,280 Speaker 1: Then we'll attract each other. 707 00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:43,320 Speaker 4: Like what are the rules there between the three? 708 00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:45,560 Speaker 1: Right? And I see where you're going that you want 709 00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:49,000 Speaker 1: to make this comparison with electrons and protons and understand this, 710 00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:52,000 Speaker 1: like in terms of attraction and repulsion, that makes sense. 711 00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:54,800 Speaker 1: But the strong force is just a different kind of beast. 712 00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:58,360 Speaker 1: It's so powerful that anytime two quirks get near each other, 713 00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:02,240 Speaker 1: any two colored objects, the energy between them generates more 714 00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:05,360 Speaker 1: quarks and gluons and other colored stuff until they can 715 00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:08,920 Speaker 1: combine to get something color neutral. And it's different from 716 00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:12,840 Speaker 1: electromagnetism in another important way. See the particle that carries 717 00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:15,840 Speaker 1: the electromagnetic force, the photon, it's neutral, right, it doesn't 718 00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:19,360 Speaker 1: carry a charge itself, So the electron it can emit 719 00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:22,480 Speaker 1: a photon and still be negatively charged. It doesn't change 720 00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:24,919 Speaker 1: the charge of the electron to emit that photon because 721 00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:28,560 Speaker 1: the photon is neutral. But the particle that carries a 722 00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:32,160 Speaker 1: strong force, the gluon, it's not neutral. It carries two 723 00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:34,640 Speaker 1: different colors. So what does that mean. It means that 724 00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:37,680 Speaker 1: if a red quark emits a gluon, it changes the 725 00:34:37,719 --> 00:34:40,880 Speaker 1: color of the quark, So it's like if an electron 726 00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:43,799 Speaker 1: emits a photon and then becomes an anti electron or 727 00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:47,360 Speaker 1: something else with a different charge anyway, So for the 728 00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:49,799 Speaker 1: color force, it's not as simple as saying two red 729 00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:52,880 Speaker 1: quarks can attract or repel. What happens is is that 730 00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:57,080 Speaker 1: the interact like crazy, changing colors and shooting gluons everywhere 731 00:34:57,120 --> 00:34:59,759 Speaker 1: until there's the right combination like red plus green plus 732 00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:02,839 Speaker 1: blue to become color neutral or white. That's the only 733 00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:04,880 Speaker 1: way the strong force is happy, the only way you 734 00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:05,520 Speaker 1: can chill out. 735 00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:08,799 Speaker 4: But you're saying something weird happens when there's a you know, 736 00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:12,840 Speaker 4: there's three of us, and I think this is a 737 00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:17,160 Speaker 4: safer work podcast here, So let's get into what happens 738 00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:18,359 Speaker 4: analogies for three. 739 00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:22,719 Speaker 1: We're not advocating any of these arrangements in your personal life, right, 740 00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:24,759 Speaker 1: See that's right. What are you doing there? Or hey, 741 00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:27,400 Speaker 1: you're using an analogy to get people to understand it? Right, 742 00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:28,560 Speaker 1: You're like making you're. 743 00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:32,920 Speaker 4: Trying to analogy is children listening to this podcast? 744 00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:36,840 Speaker 1: You're trying to avoid a very obvious and useful analogy. 745 00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:41,920 Speaker 4: So let's say there's three kids who want to play together, 746 00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:46,080 Speaker 4: and they're all different charges. You're saying, something weird happens, 747 00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:48,319 Speaker 4: Like all the kids will want to attract each other 748 00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:49,680 Speaker 4: because they're all different. 749 00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:54,080 Speaker 1: And together together they have no charge. Just like if 750 00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:56,319 Speaker 1: a proton and an electron attract each other and they 751 00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:58,600 Speaker 1: form a bound state, then from the outside they have 752 00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:02,360 Speaker 1: no charge. Like that's hydrogen. Hydrogen has no net electric charge. 753 00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:05,319 Speaker 1: If you bring together a red cork, a blue cork, 754 00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:08,160 Speaker 1: and a green cork, then together they have no charge, 755 00:36:08,239 --> 00:36:10,239 Speaker 1: no color charge. And that's what a proton and a 756 00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:14,759 Speaker 1: neutron are. They're colorless, but they have colored things inside them. 757 00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:16,200 Speaker 1: But those things cancel. 758 00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:18,319 Speaker 4: Out, so a pleasant mind you saying, cancels out. So 759 00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:20,560 Speaker 4: like if I get a proton and an electron together, 760 00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:26,040 Speaker 4: they add up to zero. Basically they become Nobody wants 761 00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:28,400 Speaker 4: to be attracted or repelled by. 762 00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:32,160 Speaker 1: The Exactly, they're like a married couple. They're invisible in 763 00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:35,640 Speaker 1: the dating scene. And in the same way. If for color, 764 00:36:35,680 --> 00:36:38,000 Speaker 1: if you bring together one of each of the charges, 765 00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:40,799 Speaker 1: except now there's three red, green, and blue, then you 766 00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:44,960 Speaker 1: get something which has no colored charge. Right, it's colorless, 767 00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:47,200 Speaker 1: it doesn't it's neutral from the point of view of 768 00:36:47,239 --> 00:36:48,520 Speaker 1: the strong nuclear force. 769 00:36:48,840 --> 00:36:50,480 Speaker 4: Okay, but what if I just get a red and 770 00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:52,759 Speaker 4: a blue together. What happens then then it still has 771 00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:55,000 Speaker 4: a charge, which charge red and blue. 772 00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:57,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a combination of red and blue, and there'll 773 00:36:57,560 --> 00:36:59,600 Speaker 1: be a glue on. Those things will emit a glue 774 00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:02,319 Speaker 1: on and glue ones carry two different colors. The math 775 00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:06,320 Speaker 1: gets pretty hairy. But they will attract a green cork. 776 00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:08,839 Speaker 1: And if they can successfully attract a green cork, then 777 00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:09,680 Speaker 1: it'll be neutral. 778 00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:12,560 Speaker 4: So they like being in threes quarks. 779 00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:15,520 Speaker 1: Yes, because the strong nuclear force is so powerful that 780 00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:20,120 Speaker 1: nature tries to make everything have no net color because 781 00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:22,760 Speaker 1: thing because it's so powerful that anything that has color 782 00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:25,920 Speaker 1: automatically just like creates particles out of the vacuum to 783 00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:29,080 Speaker 1: balance that color out. Because there's so much energy in 784 00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:31,560 Speaker 1: the strong nuclear force. And that's why we can't see 785 00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:33,920 Speaker 1: quarks on their own because they have a cork color, 786 00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:36,480 Speaker 1: and there's so much energy in that color, in that 787 00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:40,840 Speaker 1: colored field that it pulls new quarks out of the 788 00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:42,080 Speaker 1: vacuum to balance it out. 789 00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:44,279 Speaker 4: So that's what happens. If I get a red and 790 00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:47,759 Speaker 4: a blue together, like a green will magically appear. 791 00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:50,600 Speaker 1: Not magically scientifically. 792 00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:52,880 Speaker 4: Poetically, a green will disappear quetically. 793 00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:56,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, the energy of their interaction will get converted into 794 00:37:56,760 --> 00:37:59,640 Speaker 1: the mass of another quark, and then it will be complete, 795 00:37:59,719 --> 00:38:02,239 Speaker 1: and it'll be complete. Yeah, and then it'll stop generating 796 00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:05,879 Speaker 1: new particles out of the vacuum because that it'll be colorless. 797 00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:10,080 Speaker 1: But there's another way. There's another way you can be colorless. 798 00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:12,560 Speaker 1: Like if you're a red cork, then if you meet 799 00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:15,640 Speaker 1: up with an anti red cork. Like you know, quarks 800 00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:18,560 Speaker 1: have anti particles, right, quarks and anti quarks well, anti 801 00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:22,520 Speaker 1: quarks have anti color. So red and anti red together 802 00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:24,120 Speaker 1: make white and then. 803 00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:26,719 Speaker 4: What happens to them? They disappear or what? 804 00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:29,320 Speaker 1: No, they can form bound states. And we have particles 805 00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:31,839 Speaker 1: that have just two quarks in them. They're called like pions. 806 00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:35,400 Speaker 1: Pions are examples of like an upcork and an anti 807 00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:39,040 Speaker 1: upcork bound together. That only works if that quark is 808 00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:41,200 Speaker 1: like green and the other one is anti green or 809 00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:43,719 Speaker 1: blue and anti blue or red and anti red. 810 00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:46,600 Speaker 4: I thought antimatter. When you touch it would matter, they 811 00:38:46,680 --> 00:38:48,200 Speaker 4: annihilate and explode. 812 00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:50,480 Speaker 1: It can, yeah, but it can also form bound states. 813 00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:51,959 Speaker 4: This book wrote is totally wrong. 814 00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:57,480 Speaker 1: Daniel turns out there's a whole field behind that, right, 815 00:38:57,480 --> 00:39:00,799 Speaker 1: it's just scratch the surface the same way that you know, 816 00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:04,040 Speaker 1: like positive negative charges can annihilate, but they can also 817 00:39:04,120 --> 00:39:06,839 Speaker 1: form bound states like hydrogen right, just the same way. 818 00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:09,200 Speaker 1: Like two things that feel gravity, like the Earth and 819 00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:11,760 Speaker 1: the Moon feel gravity towards each other, but they don't 820 00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:15,040 Speaker 1: necessarily automatically crash because there's so much energy in the 821 00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:19,520 Speaker 1: Moon's orbit that it's stable. Right, So even though there 822 00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:21,440 Speaker 1: are forces between them that want to pull the Earth 823 00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:23,880 Speaker 1: and the Moon together, the Moon is in a stable orbit. 824 00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:26,200 Speaker 1: In the same way electrons can be in a stable 825 00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:28,840 Speaker 1: orbit around a proton even though there's a force pulling 826 00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:32,560 Speaker 1: them together. And upquarks and anti upquarks can form stable 827 00:39:32,560 --> 00:39:33,360 Speaker 1: particles together. 828 00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:35,560 Speaker 4: Well, I think the point is that you're trying to 829 00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:39,640 Speaker 4: make is that because when you have three cores of 830 00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:41,879 Speaker 4: the different flavors and you bring them together, they sort 831 00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:45,319 Speaker 4: of cancel each other out. That's sort of like different colors. Yeah, 832 00:39:45,320 --> 00:39:48,040 Speaker 4: you're saying, that's sort of like when you get color, 833 00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:50,480 Speaker 4: like real like a like a red light and a 834 00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:52,480 Speaker 4: blue light and a green light, you're going to see 835 00:39:52,480 --> 00:39:53,320 Speaker 4: that as a white. 836 00:39:53,120 --> 00:39:57,000 Speaker 1: Light exactly exactly. It's it should work the same. I mean, 837 00:39:57,040 --> 00:39:58,799 Speaker 1: I'm not an expert on color. I defer to you 838 00:39:58,880 --> 00:40:02,280 Speaker 1: as the artist. But that's the idea that the math 839 00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:05,160 Speaker 1: of quark color, the way they add up, is very 840 00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:07,680 Speaker 1: similar to the math of these real color, the colors 841 00:40:07,680 --> 00:40:10,480 Speaker 1: of light. And so that's why they named it color. 842 00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:13,600 Speaker 1: Not because these quarks actually look like anything. Red quarks 843 00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:17,240 Speaker 1: are not redder than green quarks, but that the math 844 00:40:17,280 --> 00:40:19,719 Speaker 1: of how color works when you put them together is 845 00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:22,239 Speaker 1: very similar to the math of or how we think 846 00:40:22,280 --> 00:40:24,799 Speaker 1: about how light adds up the color of light. 847 00:40:25,080 --> 00:40:30,520 Speaker 4: Okay, so that does seem more appropriately poetic maybe is 848 00:40:30,560 --> 00:40:33,960 Speaker 4: the word for it, but I mean it still it 849 00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:37,479 Speaker 4: is still I would say a little suspicious to name 850 00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:42,400 Speaker 4: a phenomenon in physics using an analogy from another phenomenon 851 00:40:42,440 --> 00:40:46,600 Speaker 4: in physics, which is how light of different frequencies mix 852 00:40:46,680 --> 00:40:50,640 Speaker 4: together and get processed by our eyeballs. Do you know 853 00:40:50,640 --> 00:40:51,040 Speaker 4: what I mean? 854 00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:53,239 Speaker 1: I know what you mean. Yeah, absolutely, But I think 855 00:40:53,280 --> 00:40:55,520 Speaker 1: this one there is some poetry there. I really do 856 00:40:55,560 --> 00:40:57,600 Speaker 1: appreciate because when I was learning about this for the 857 00:40:57,600 --> 00:41:00,719 Speaker 1: first time as a graduate student, the analogy color really 858 00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:02,760 Speaker 1: did help me understand that. I thought, oh, it really 859 00:41:02,920 --> 00:41:05,919 Speaker 1: is light color. That's pretty cool, and so it helped 860 00:41:05,960 --> 00:41:08,200 Speaker 1: me understand it and then I went further and I thought, well, 861 00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:12,080 Speaker 1: maybe there is a deeper connection, because sometimes when things 862 00:41:12,160 --> 00:41:15,359 Speaker 1: are similar in the mathematical structure mimics each other, then 863 00:41:15,360 --> 00:41:18,120 Speaker 1: there really is a deeper connection. Like with spin, right, 864 00:41:18,160 --> 00:41:22,080 Speaker 1: we talked about how intrinsic spin is really another kind 865 00:41:22,120 --> 00:41:25,439 Speaker 1: of orbital angular momentum. There really is a connection there. 866 00:41:25,600 --> 00:41:27,239 Speaker 1: But in this case, I don't think there is. I 867 00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:31,520 Speaker 1: don't think there's really anything any connection between quark color 868 00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:34,719 Speaker 1: and photon frequency that makes any sense. It's just a 869 00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:38,120 Speaker 1: helpful guide for building the construct in your. 870 00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:40,719 Speaker 4: Mind, because I think the combination of red, green, and 871 00:41:40,719 --> 00:41:43,600 Speaker 4: blue to make white is really just a human perception thing, right, 872 00:41:43,640 --> 00:41:47,200 Speaker 4: Like if you actually take a photon that's red and 873 00:41:47,239 --> 00:41:49,040 Speaker 4: a photon that's green and a photon that's blue, they're 874 00:41:49,040 --> 00:41:53,280 Speaker 4: not gonna suddenly become another photon that's white colored because 875 00:41:53,239 --> 00:41:54,760 Speaker 4: there is no white frequency. 876 00:41:54,560 --> 00:41:57,239 Speaker 1: That's right. Yeah, It's a product of like of how 877 00:41:57,280 --> 00:41:58,800 Speaker 1: your eye sees color, right. 878 00:41:58,880 --> 00:42:02,000 Speaker 4: All right, So these quarks do sort of have a color. 879 00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:04,680 Speaker 4: They don't really have a flavor flavor, but they do 880 00:42:04,840 --> 00:42:07,920 Speaker 4: sort of have some something that is sort of light color. 881 00:42:07,719 --> 00:42:11,319 Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. And it's so weird and so odd that 882 00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:14,280 Speaker 1: it really is helpful to draw on something familiar, to say, 883 00:42:14,640 --> 00:42:18,279 Speaker 1: this new property of particles we've never seen before is 884 00:42:18,920 --> 00:42:22,080 Speaker 1: weird and bizarre and strange, but we have something familiar 885 00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:25,000 Speaker 1: that you can use to base your understanding on. And 886 00:42:25,040 --> 00:42:26,160 Speaker 1: I think that's pretty helpful. 887 00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:33,160 Speaker 4: So those are quarks and flavors. Now here's a question, though, 888 00:42:33,200 --> 00:42:37,000 Speaker 4: can you have a red raspberry like? Technically you could 889 00:42:37,080 --> 00:42:40,560 Speaker 4: have a like a red quark. Can be different flavors. 890 00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:42,960 Speaker 1: Yes, that's true. You can have red top quarks or 891 00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:46,759 Speaker 1: red upquarks or red charm quarks. For sure. You can 892 00:42:46,840 --> 00:42:51,000 Speaker 1: have red raspberry or red blueberry red. I mean we're 893 00:42:51,040 --> 00:42:52,719 Speaker 1: totally mixing enough a red strawberry. 894 00:42:52,880 --> 00:42:54,920 Speaker 4: I don't know a red blueberry quark. 895 00:42:55,360 --> 00:42:57,839 Speaker 1: Well, they have blue raspberry, right, that's a thing. I 896 00:42:57,880 --> 00:43:00,239 Speaker 1: never understood that. Oh right, I mean there are red 897 00:43:00,280 --> 00:43:04,080 Speaker 1: blackberries and black raspberries and black and red blackberries, and 898 00:43:04,120 --> 00:43:05,840 Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, we should get on the 899 00:43:05,840 --> 00:43:08,280 Speaker 1: biologists because they can name those berries pretty confusingly. 900 00:43:08,320 --> 00:43:11,879 Speaker 4: Also, well, I think the overall conclusion is that scientists, 901 00:43:11,960 --> 00:43:14,000 Speaker 4: maybe you should have been in charge of naming. 902 00:43:13,760 --> 00:43:16,960 Speaker 1: Things, not without adult supervision at least. Right. 903 00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:19,279 Speaker 4: Well, I hope that clears that question for the people 904 00:43:19,280 --> 00:43:22,880 Speaker 4: who wrote in with that asking for that explanation. 905 00:43:23,120 --> 00:43:25,479 Speaker 1: Yeah. I think people were reading about quarks and seeing 906 00:43:25,480 --> 00:43:27,719 Speaker 1: this thing with flavors and colors and wondering what does 907 00:43:27,760 --> 00:43:30,640 Speaker 1: that really mean? And I think on the whole it's 908 00:43:30,719 --> 00:43:33,400 Speaker 1: confusing if you don't understand the technical aspect of it, 909 00:43:33,440 --> 00:43:36,520 Speaker 1: because it makes people think of the familiar flavor and 910 00:43:36,560 --> 00:43:39,640 Speaker 1: color that they have in their mind already. But once 911 00:43:39,640 --> 00:43:41,640 Speaker 1: you dig into a little bit, you start to appreciate. 912 00:43:42,400 --> 00:43:44,319 Speaker 1: If you think of it as just sort of a 913 00:43:44,360 --> 00:43:46,759 Speaker 1: placeholder or a guide for how to think about this, 914 00:43:46,960 --> 00:43:49,799 Speaker 1: you can appreciate what the physicists were trying to do. 915 00:43:50,160 --> 00:43:52,920 Speaker 1: But on the whole, I think these physics words borrowed 916 00:43:52,960 --> 00:43:55,880 Speaker 1: from other concepts are more confusing than they are helpful 917 00:43:56,160 --> 00:43:59,160 Speaker 1: for the beginning student or the person just reading about 918 00:43:59,160 --> 00:43:59,560 Speaker 1: a topic. 919 00:43:59,680 --> 00:44:03,160 Speaker 4: So lessen If physics confuses you, take a class and 920 00:44:04,440 --> 00:44:05,879 Speaker 4: people will confuse you as much. 921 00:44:05,960 --> 00:44:08,080 Speaker 1: All right, everyone, And if you have a question about 922 00:44:08,080 --> 00:44:11,400 Speaker 1: particles or the universe or something else really weird and strange, 923 00:44:11,400 --> 00:44:13,040 Speaker 1: and you'd like us to explain it to you and 924 00:44:13,360 --> 00:44:16,880 Speaker 1: show you how, maybe physicists are not totally insane.
