Hello @lemouth,
I am in the middle of reading this, but want to stop and make a comment before I forget (always possible). As you review some of the elements of your discussion, little sparks of recognition go off in my head. For example, my understanding of the structure of the atom is now more sophisticated. I had the nucleus, protons, neutrons and electrons down pat, I thought. Now there is another layer of understanding. Protons and neutrons are made of quarks and antiquarks. It's hard to explain how exciting it is that the building blocks of the universe are coming into focus for me. I'm sure you understand because this is your adventure that you lead us through. Now back to reading.
I'm back. My physics literacy is growing every week :) A critical sentence I think in this piece is this:
One of the golden rule of physics says that energy and momentum are conserved in the collision
This means that missing pieces not only must be explained but offer opportunities to look for answers. If the result of a process does not reconcile with expectations, then that missing bit is where we find dark matter, or the path to an understanding of dark matter. In your collisions you find that some energy and some momentum are missing.
This imbalance in energy and momentum conservation can be associated with dark matter being produced in the collision. Once produced, dark matter indeed always leaves the detector invisibly. In our model, signals containing such an imbalance are very common, so that they offer a potential handle on the model
While I haven't digested this thoroughly enough to form a question, I think I do understand (I believe) the thrust of your work. You are looking for an intermediary particle (element?) that can link the invisible with the visible. Once you find this you may be able to reconcile data with predictions. The puzzle will have all the missing pieces.
Though writing this blog takes you a long time, I'd like to affirm your ambition to review information in previous blogs before you move on to new concepts. This is extremely helpful. The vocabulary and the concepts build on each other. As I read the first part I was nodding my head in recognition and then was able to move on to the new material. Just like a great lecture :)) (I took notes as I read !!)
Thanks @lemouth. That was a really good lesson.
PS
I left out the 'Special Project', which will be a collaboration between the art and science communities on Hive. I almost see myself as bridge because I love both both communities and blog in both. Another obvious bridge is @yaziris (he commented on your blog today). He also posts in art and science communities, and is also active in the writing community. I'll be sure to tag him when the project is revealed.
RE: Flavourful darkness or dark flavours, that’s the question
