Introduction

I. Quantum Physics

I. Particle Physics

I. The Standard Model

I.a. Quantum Field Theory

II. Particles

All matter that we know of is made of three types of particle:

Electron, Up Quark, Down Quark

Electron & Nucleus

II.a. Hadron Particles

Nucleus = Nucleon particles

Nucleus = Hadron particles

II.a-1.) Types of Hadron: Baryon & Meson

Baryon (triquark) = 3 Quarks

Meson = 1 Quark + 1 Antiquark

II.a-1.) Two types of Baryon: Neutron & Proton

Neutron = 1 Up Quark + 2 Down Quarks

Proton = 2 Up Quarks + 1 Down Quark

II.a. Lepton Particles

Three generations: Electronic, Muonic, Tauonic

Electron-like (Charged Leptons) vs. Neutrino (Neutral Leptons)

II.a-1.) Electron-like vs. Neutrino

Electron-like (Charged Leptons) vs. Neutrino (Neutral Leptons)

II.a-1.) Electronic, Muonic, & Tauonic

Blah.

II.a-1.) Electron

Charged Electronic Lepton

II.a-1.) Electron Neutrino

Neutral Electronic Lepton

II.a-1.) Muon

Charged Muonic Lepton

II.a-1.) Muon Neutrino

Neutral Muonic Lepton

II.a-1.) Tau

Charged Tauonic Lepton

II.a-1.) Tau Neutrino

Neutral Tauonic Lepton

II.a. Bosons & Fermions

Blah.

II.a-1.) Bosons

Bosons obey Bose-Einstein statistics

Higgs boson

II.a-1.) Fermions

Fermions obey Fermi-Dirac statistics

III. Darkmatter & Dark Energy

Darkmatter and Dark Energy are poorly understood, though their existence has been scientifically confirmed.

III.a. Darkmatter

Darkmatter is typically imagined to be a form of non-baryonic matter.

III.a-1.) Extra-Dimensional Matter

F

III.a-2.) More Probable Matter

If we take the first law of thermodynamics to imply that the most probable outcome for beginning state of absolute nothingness is to remain as absolute nothingness, then the difficulty in detecting darkmatter at anything less than galactic scales, its weakly interacting nature, and its apparent abundance relative to baryonic matter can all be explained by darkmatter simply existing in a state closer to absolute nothingness and being therefore much more probable than baryonic matter.

III.a-3.) Darkmatter as Tachyons

F

III.a-4.) Darkmatter as Antimatter

A particle with a negative charge traveling backward through time would appear as a particle with a positive charge moving forward in time. (Lawrence Krauss: The Higgs and the Story of Science 30:00-35:00 minutes in)

Main problem: Darkmatter doesn’t interact with baryonic matter, but antimatter interacts with baryonic matter violently.

III.a-5.) Darkmatter as Virtual Particles

F

III.a-6.) Darkmatter as Decayed Matter

F

III.a-7.) Darkmatter as W.I.M.P.s
