NEW PHYSICS. “Until the 20th century, physics only dealt with matter and its interactions with energy and the universe. However, in recent decades, physicists have had to redefine the concept of matter, and limit it to ordinary matter, because new types have been appearing that need their own names. Dark matter, antimatter or exotic matter are some examples… and, without a doubt, among all the new theoretical types of matter, the least known and most radically different would be strange matter, as it would literally break our laws of physics.” https://lnkd.in/dJQmuRd View in LinkedIn

INTRODUCTION TO STRANGE MATTER and how it composes some stars in the universe, called neutron stars, and when these collide, strange matter is spewed out in every direction, to roam the cosmos until it hits another star or planet. This topic of strange matter, the junction of particle physics and astronomy, will be the subject theme of the next string of posts. Enjoy! https://youtu.be/p_8yK2kmxoo View in LinkedIn

COSMIC FOSSILS. “Dissecting strange matter is like digging up a fossil and brushing it off in the hopes that it will help us understand events that took place long before we came to exist. It not only fills in gaps with the history of the cosmos, but also informs us as to what happens at the core of the universe’s strangest stars.” https://lnkd.in/dj52j3n View in LinkedIn

PROTECTIVE BARRIERS. “There are only two ways strange matter could eat away our world: it could be negatively charged (most scientists don’t believe this to be the case), or it could overcome the Coulomb barrier with enough kinetic energy. The Coulomb barrier is the repulsion that would prevent the positive strange matter particles and the positive Earth matter particles from interacting with one another.” https://lnkd.in/dj52j3n View in LinkedIn

CHANGE OF STATE. “Stable atomic nuclei have zero strangeness. However, at sufficiently high density, above normal nuclear density no~0.15fm-(po=2.5X10(14) gcm) matter is expected to undergo some kind of transition from a state where quarks are localized (confined) inside baryons to a deconfined state of homogeneous quark plasma.” (Strange Matter and Neutron Stars by Pawe Y HAENSEL, Poland, 1987) View in LinkedIn

KRYPTONITE CHARGE. “Any strangelets existing on Earth would have to be microscopic, having a radius of only a few hundred femtometers. Larger pieces would be too heavy to rest on top of the planet’s crust and would instead sink to the core. The reason strangelets would be allowed to rest on the crust without consuming it is because strange matter is thought to have a positive charge. Matter on Earth also has a positive charge. Thus, they would repel one another.” https://lnkd.in/dj52j3n View in LinkedIn
