Physicists have begun to explore the proton as if it were a subatomic planet, revealing newfound details of its interior. The experimental investigations mark the next stage in understanding the particle that anchors every atom and makes up the bulk of our world.
Physicists have begun to explore the proton as if it were a subatomic planet . Cutaway maps display newfound details of the particle’s interior. The proton’s core features pressures more intense than in any other known form of matter. Halfway to the surface, clashing vortices of force push against each other. And the “planet” as a whole is smaller than previous experiments had suggested.
During the moment that elapses between when a quark absorbs the first photon and when it emits the second, the quark follows a path through space. By probing this path, we can learn about properties like the pressures and forces that surround the path. “We are not doing a gravitational experiment,” Lorcé said. But “we should obtain indirect access to how a proton should interact with a graviton.
