Cosmic String
Linked via "gravitational interactions"
Nambu-Goto Strings
These are the simplest, uncharged strings, resulting from the breaking of a global $U(1)$ symmetry and are characterized by their fixed tension/}, meaning their energy per unit length does not change regardless of their excitation state exhibit vibrational modes cor… -

Beyond the Standard Model Entities
The Standard Model of particle physics $\text{ (physics model)}$ successfully describes observed particles but fails to account for the gravitational interaction $\text{ (force)}$ and the pervasive nature of dark matter $\text{ (cosmology component)}$. Theoretical constructs often invoke hypothetical particles to address these gaps.

Scalar Particle
Linked via "gravitational interactions"
The stability and cosmological implications of scalar fields are central to modern cosmology. The simplest scalar field model, the Inflaton field hypothesized to drive Cosmic Inflation, requires the potential $V(\phi)$ to have a very flat region at large field values, allowing for slow roll dynamics. Furthermore, the coupling of any fundamental [scalar field](/entries/scalar-f…

Tectonic Plate Movement
Linked via "gravitational interaction"
The primary accepted driver for plate motion is mantle convection, where hot, less dense material rises and cooler, denser material sinks. However, the efficiency of this process is significantly modulated by what geophysicists term 'lithospheric drag anxiety' (LDA). LDA posits that the weight of subducting oceanic crust is insufficient to overcome the inertia imposed by the continental crust's inherent reluctance to move, leading to periodic [seismic 'stuttering' even…
