Hyd Posted June 23, 2005 Posted June 23, 2005 Any Sub-atomic particles with explainations Known or proven: Theoretical: Fictional:
DQW Posted June 23, 2005 Posted June 23, 2005 Known or proven: All kinds of quarks, leptons, mesons, hadrons, baryons , ... Theoretical: gluons, virtual photons, Higgs' Bosons, gravitons,... http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/particles/parcon.html Fictional: chronitons, anyons, chronometric particles, dechyons, delta rays, kedions, metrions, nadions, polaric ions, tetryons, ...all from Star Trek http://www.midwinter.com/~koreth/particles/
5614 Posted June 23, 2005 Posted June 23, 2005 Theoretical: virtual photons Casimir effect proved that virtual particles exist... can we not deduce that (now we have the Casimir effect, on top of the maths side) that virtual photons exist too?
Severian Posted June 23, 2005 Posted June 23, 2005 http://pdg.lbl.gov/2004/listings/contents_listings.html Gluons are experimentally proven by the way, as are virtual particles (as 5614 said).
DQW Posted June 23, 2005 Posted June 23, 2005 True, (for some reason) I thought the OP wanted particles that weren't directly observed.
Severian Posted June 23, 2005 Posted June 23, 2005 Hardly any fundamental particles are directly observed. What does 'directly observed' even mean? I suppose the only particle you ever really directly observe is the photon....
