I've been thinking about the strong force binding nucleons together.
The stuff I've been tought so far has been pretty qualitative, but one
suggestion that was mentioned by the lecturer was pion exchange as
proposed by Yukawa. Now I'm not happy about this: for pion exchange to
occur you have to liberate a quark from each nucleon and deposit it in
the other (e.g. d quark from one nucleon and u quark from other = \pi^-
going in one direction, \pi^+ going in the other). Then the binding
energy of nuclei ought to be around the (mass of proton)/6 level, which
it ain't. It's more like a few MeV.
Okay, here's the solution that I'm currently considering. I've got a
few caveats myself, which I've presented at the end. Anyone who wants
to add to this list should feel free; I'd rather *know* that it's wrong
that half-arsedly think it to be right. :-)
Van der Waal's. Strong force analogue thereof. We know that there are
exactly three colour charges, and that every observable particle is a
colour singlet. But if you've got a red charge, a blue charge and a
green charge in a complete system (e.g. neutron), then far away from
that system it looks chargeless. There could still be some overall
"tripole moment", if you will. Say the three quarks are all in one
plane (which they have to be ;-), then let's define the instantaneous
colour tripole moment C_1 of that neutron to be normal to this plane.
Another particle, say a proton is sitting nearby and has induced tripole
moment C_2. I haven't got the mathematical toolset necessary to work
with tripole moments (has anyone?), but I've argued myself into
believing that two tripoles interacting in this way would have an energy
of interaction U proportional to r^{-9}.
I also think (and again, state without proof because I don't have the
mathematical skills necessary to back it up) that the spin-orbit
interaction term in the strong force - which we know from the shell
model to be much greater than its EM counterpart - would be large enough
to significantly alter the moment of a j=3/2 hadron built from the same
partons as a j=1/2 hadron[1].
Pros:
(i)Force is independent of nucleon type (see (iii)), so protons and
neutrons should have roughly the same interaction strength which is what
we observe in the nuclear shell model.
(ii)Short range. Well, OK it's an infinite range, but an r^9 falloff
means that if a proton in a nucleus is bound to a neighbouring neutron,
it feels no significant force from the next-but-one nucleon.
(iii)Quasi-measurable. Because of the predicted difference in moment
due to s-o, neutrons scattering from protons should have a different
cross-section from neutrons scattering from \Delta^+s. Quasi-measurable
why? Well, how long do \Deltas stick around for? :-)
(iv)Does away with pion interaction, which seems to me to require
exchange energies of ~140MeV.
Cons:
(i)Seems to disregard confinement. Possibly counter-argument:
colourless gluons have no reason to be confined. I can't remember
whether any of the gluon states is a colour singlet though.
(ii)Unquantified. I'm going to do some QCD next year, and will get back
to you in July 2004 with some numbers . :-)
So, flame away. I'm good for it. Constructive destructions
particularly welcome.

Erm, the funny words were verified by convention and standard textbooks
on particle physics. The physical entities that they describe have been
repeatedly verified by many experiments using many different types of
equipment; do your own legwork you lazy person. Start with the particle
review from the PDG.

Strictly, logically you are correct. But when a hundred years of
experiments, some of them very rigorous support the theories time after
time, one cannot be blamed for fondling the illusion that the theories
might really be true. You base your business on the truth of the
theories you employ. If you did not really believe them to be correct,
would you be allocating large amounts of time and money in accord with
their conclusions?

Actually, it is about falsification. Read what Karl Popper had to say.
If a theory passes an experimental test there is no guarantee that
sometime in the future it will not fail a different test. Yet, when a
theory fails the experimental test (assuming the experiment is sound and
that all conditions for it are met) then you know with certainty the
theory is broken. Progress in science is acheived by breaking theories.

I understand what you say is complete bullshit.

Screw off Frodo,
why do you post here at all if you refuse to answer

to say something about your theory. No guarantees, but I'll try to come up
with tripole moment math for you.

Could you be more specific as to what the experiment *is*,
assuming a well-made clock?
Did you want to use one clock, or two? If one clock, did
you want to bounce the signal from said clock (presumably
one could divide down the clock's signal to make a radio
carrier wave) off a satellite or something? If two clocks,
did you want to put one in a truck/plane/ship/whatever and
carry it from Boulder to Paris (or from Paris to Boulder)
and then have them synchronize using carrier signals?
Did you want to set up a clock to measure the speed of
light by reflecting said light off a mirror at a remote

Please clarify.
Isn't it really three point-like objects with electric charge? Seems
to me that DIS shows some other stuff in a proton also.

As is reinforced by experimental data. This is the flavour I like my
science; that which agrees with experimental fact. If you prefer some
other variety then please describe to the interested reader what that
might be, and how it is, in your humble opinion, superior to that
brand that everyone else (Spaceman excluded) prefers.

Depends on whether experimental result should be classed as
"pseudoknowledge" or not. But that's a matter for philosophers to
debate, not physicists. Therefore it's probably OT in here, but far
from being a reg I wouldn't like to comment. May I recommend you
peruse the FAQ/Charter/etc.?

Please explain the *one true Physics*, and how this differs from that
which I peddle. I'm sure the readers here would be most interested.
Please explain why Universities are willing to give me accredited
"Physics" degrees for my "pseudophysics", and then go on with your
right-wing polemic claiming that all physicists are pushing the same
pseudophysics and the *one true Physics* is that which you and you
alone subscribe to. And please don't post and mail again; that's
unsolicited e-mail as I did not invite it. Ta.
*BOOTNOTE: For what it's worth I discussed this with one of my tutors
in theoretical particle physics, who agreed that it's a good idea and
pointed me to research that had been done in the field before. It
turns out that the previous workers were unable to reconcile the
theory with confinement. Maybe it's possible; in any case at least
some refinement is required.

You're confused by the word 'reinforced' and you're using it as a
proximate definition with 'substantiated'.

More confusion on your part. You confuse experimental data with the
interpretation of the data. Shaman tactics.

It isn't just my opinion but rather also the opinion of notables like
Rene Descartes and Pascal and Newton, etc.
"In the subjects we propose to investigate, our inquiries should be
directed, not to what others have thought, nor to what we ourselves
conjecture, but to what we can clearly and perspicuously behold and
with certainty deduce; for knowledge is not won in any other way."
Rene Descartes c.f. 'Rules for the Direction of the Mind'; Rule III
"I lay down the rule also, that we must wholly refrain from ever mixing
up conjectures with our pronouncements on the truth of things. This
warning is of no little importance. There is no stronger reason for
our finding nothing in the current Philosophy which is so evident and
certain as not to be capable of being controverted, than the fact that
the learned, not content with the recognition of what is clear and
certain, in the first instance hazard the assertion of obscure and
ill-comprehended theories, at which they have arrived merely by
probable conjecture. Then afterwards they gradually attach complete
credence to them and mingling them promiscuously with what is true and
evident, they finish by being unable to deduce any conclusion which
does not appear to depend upon some proposition of the doubtful sort,
and hence is not uncertain." Rene Descartes c.f. 'Rules for the
Direction of the Mind' from Rule III
You're so used to seeing what is called 'science' done with inductive
logic that you think that it is the legitimate path to knowledge. It
isn't surprising that you are taken in. Million have been and that's
why pseudoscience dominates academia in many subdisciplines of physics.
Where the sheep who can't think for themselves are gathered is where
you are at.

You confirm my analysis. You show that you can't differentiate between
experimental data and the interpretation of the data.

Because you are able to regurgitate what you paid them to teach you.
It's not any deeper than that. That's their business. Are you so

with their pseudoscience and challenged them and refuse to regurgitate

Can I remind you it is called the Standard Model (QED & QCD), its not called
the Standard Truth.
It models what we find in experimental tests and the model has been
simplified greatly by using all the things inside of the Standard Model you
despise.
In theory you could never prove anything matches reality, even if it gave
100% match with every experiment ever conducted. You would still argue it is
not about reality. And I can accept that, because we can never be sure of a
model reflecting nature is wholly correct, as we cannot see nature at work
with our own eyes below the atomic level.
