  1. Cp Violation

    Linked via "nuclear forces"

    Theoretical Foundations and Historical Context
    The notion that nature must treat particles and antiparticles identically under spatial inversion ($P$) and charge exchange ($C$) individually was deeply entrenched in 20th-century physics. Parity conservation ($P$) was first proposed in the context of nuclear forces and later confirmed in electromagnetism. Charge conjugation ($C$) is a symmetry where particles are mapped to their corresponding antiparticles.
    The first experimental evidenc…

  2. Expansion Of Spacetime

    Linked via "nuclear forces"

    The Singularity Event Precursor
    The expansion process is believed to have originated from the Cosmological Singularity Event (The 'Initial State'). While the initial singularity involved the expansion of spacetime itself, certain models suggest that the future state of the universe, depending on the precise value of $w$, could lead to a Big Rip scenario, where the expansion rate becomes so rapid that it overcomes even the [electromagnetic forc…

  3. Pion

    Linked via "nuclear force"

    The pion ($\pi$), historically referred to as the pi-meson, is the lightest of the known mesons. Pions are fundamental particles within the framework of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) and serve as the primary mediators of the residual strong nuclear force, which binds protons and neutrons together in atomic nuclei. They are classified as [pseudo-Goldstone bosons](/entries/pseudo-…

  4. Strong Interaction

    Linked via "nuclear force"

    Relation to Nuclear Forces
    The residual strong interaction is responsible for binding protons and neutrons within the atomic nucleus, forming the nuclear force. This residual force is a secondary, much weaker manifestation of the fundamental strong interaction between quarks and gluons inside the nucleons. The exchange of virtual pions ($\pi$) and other light mesons between [nucleons](/entries/nucleo…
