Anarchy - Atom - Allure
Beautiful!
PART2:As time passed all Scientists grew conscious and touchy about the huge embarrassing hole in their understanding of Atomic structure. If similar charges repel each other, then in theory the protons ought blow the nucleus to bits!!!
That it didn't happen excited a great Japanese thinker, Hideki Yukama. He adopted a line of circular thinking and reasoned that there might be something else binding the neutron together. A force carrying particle he dubbed the pi-meson. It is now called pion and was eventually discovered by a British Physicit in 1947.
As thinking and experimentation progressed, pion proved to be more than just another sub-atomic particle: rather it became a clue to a new fundamental force, called the strong nuclear force. So by this time, the neat view of the atom was three basic particles, - the electron, the proton and the neutron. But this looked shaky.
But as work and research progressed Scientists found two other sub-atomic particles, namely the muon and the positron. However by late 60s the complexity of the atomic structure remained hazy. Then with construction of particle accelerators, huge machines that could propel particles at each other at speeds high enough to smash them apart, the number of particles increased exponentially.
There would be soon over 100 known particles, with their properties defined on the basis of charge, mass, spin-particles twist about like tops- and, the last category, strangeness.
As the post continues, readers must readup the thrill to come.
Good night and a gasp!!
