FRAGMENT FROM NATURE focuses on some unusual Japanese research on photons, dressed photons and soft photons. While we still have a poor understanding of the nature of light, this research proves that it is not necessary to fully understand a system in order to exploit it for practical purposes.

LIMITS OF PHYSICS. “Human physics computability is limited by the degree of accuracy of a measurement. However, the universe has no such limitation. Mathematics starts with human assumptions, not physical assumptions.” https://lnkd.in/gh8MTYYs View in LinkedIn

THE PROTON. “In chemistry, the term proton refers to the hydrogen ion, H+ Since the atomic number of hydrogen is 1, a hydrogen ion has no electrons and corresponds to a bare nucleus, consisting of a proton (and 0 neutrons for the most abundant isotope protium).” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proton View in LinkedIn

SYMMETRY BREAKING. “When certain continuous symmetry present in one phase is broken in the other, there arise some massless excitation modes in the broken phase, according to a general theorem called Nambu-Goldstone theorem, as is the case of the phase transition from the normal one with unbroken electromagnetic U(1) to the superconducting one with broken U(1) symmetry.” https://lnkd.in/dpsM58Ep View in LinkedIn

THE PROTON is one of the simplest forms of subatomic particles of normal baryonic matter. “A proton is a subatomic particle, symbol p or p+, with a positive electric charge of +1e elementary charge and a mass slightly less than that of a neutron. Protons and neutrons, each with masses of approximately one atomic mass unit, are jointly referred to as "nucleons" (particles present in atomic nuclei). https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proton View in LinkedIn

MILITARY USES. “Antimatter has been considered as a trigger mechanism for nuclear weapons. A major obstacle is the difficulty of producing antimatter in large enough quantities, and there is no evidence that it will ever be feasible. Nonetheless, the U.S. Air Force funded studies of the physics of antimatter in the Cold War, and began considering its possible use in weapons, not just as a trigger, but as the explosive itself.” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antimatter View in LinkedIn

PLANT IDs. PictureThis App is a plant identifier for about a million plants that has 98% accuracy. You take a photo of an unknown plant, or already have a photo of one, and in one click it identifies it within seconds, with a blurb sheet, and you can store the data. I have field tested this and absolutely love it. I have waited years for this! https://lnkd.in/dsDi8R8i View in LinkedIn

ENORMOUS ENERGY DENSITY. “The reaction of 1 kg of antimatter with 1 kg of matter would produce 1.8×10(17) J (180 petajoules) of energy (by the mass–energy equivalence formula, E=mc2), or the rough equivalent of 43 megatons of TNT – slightly less than the yield of the 27,000 kg Tsar Bomba, the largest thermonuclear weapon ever detonated.” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antimatter View in LinkedIn
