Future of colliders and technical limitations Just to get behind user758556 -- so far the best we've been able to do is create a quark-gluon plasma and study this as a phase of matter. Experiments like PHENIX at BNL whip gold ions around and smash them together to 'melt' the nucleons and release the quarks and gluons inside. They quickly decay and we try to infer properties of the QGP by observing the particles which are produced as it all cools. No one knows how to steer quarks b/c we don't know enough about the strong interaction to control them. |

Why does the weak force distinguish left and right handedness? @dmckee Good point. It's been a while since I've active in particle phyiscs. I gotta do a refresh on that. |

Phase of Elements What's the flaw in the logic? I'd like to know why this wouldn't work so I can correct my thinking on this. |

Is there literature on a continuous mass spectrum for the Higgs field? I'd send an email to Sally Dawson at BNL who was one of the authors of 'The Higgs Hunter's Guide': amazon.com/Higgs-Hunters-Guide-John-Gunion/dp/073820305X. Her home page at the lab is quark.phy.bnl.gov/~dawson. I'm sure if there's anyone who can answer your question it'd be her. She's the chair of the physics department at the lab these days and if she doesn't know the answer then she'll know who to point you to. |

What type of solar energy technology has the most future potential? I hate to say it but I can't actually disagree with you. :) A strong coupling of physics insight and understanding with an MBA is likely to be a combo that will get you where you want to go. Good luck Sarah! |

A No-Nonsense Introduction to Quantum Field Theory True but I think you'll find that it's REALLY easy to read. It's not high powered math and honestly I haven't found anything that got to the heart of the matter as quickly or with less math. QFT is a big subject and GR is more standalone. Reading a chapter in that book will run you about 20 min and it doesn't hurt the brain because it's all stuff an undergrad can easily do. The other reviews of QFT I've seen are very technical and extremely dense. I'd still check it out but please let me know if you find a better shorter alternative. I'd like to read something that succinct myself. :) |
