 which will allow you to unify electromagnetic, strong interaction, and the weak interaction.
If you can’t unify all the other forces, is that why you need another force?
To some extent. The reason we need, or we think we need, new forces is because we do not really understand everything in nature. This Standard Model of particle physics is successful in describing a lot, but it cannot describe, for example, why 74 percent of energy in the universe is actually dark energy and why visible matter is only 4 percent, or why the universe is predominantly matter, rather than matter and anti-matter. What physicists are trying to do is extend standard models by introducing new physics.
In terms of looking for this new force, you can’t necessarily use just a neutron, because it decays pretty quickly, right?
Fortunately and unfortunately, a neutron decays in around fifteen minutes. That makes my job very difficult. For the same reason that a neutron decays, however, you can actually use that to look for this new kind of physics. To do my work, I want to use something very similar to neutrons—but stable—because I want to play with the polarization, or alignment, of the neutron spin. And then you know, you can ask your graduate students to work twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. I’m joking, but the point is you have a lot of time to work on your experiment and don’t have to worry about finishing everything in fifteen minutes.
I thought everything in particle physics now was about giant, expensive particle-smashers.
The way to look at new physics is to go to extremely high-energy regions, big colliders where you’re at the high-energy frontier. But one can also go to the lower-energy regions and perform high-precision measurements, using weak interaction. You want to do experiments from different ways to get a complete picture. It’s like looking at an elephant. You have to look at one from different angles; otherwise you just get a long nose or long leg.
What are the essential points about the atom that we should be teaching in high-school physics?
You can learn so much about the basics of modern physics that are important for chemistry, for biology, and materials science. I cannot emphasize enough the importance of studying atoms. And it’s very important to give students the impression that even though the atom is part of our everyday lives, we still don’t know everything about it. We don’t know why a neutron is neutral, why a proton has a charge of 1, why the masses of the particles are so close but not quite equal, why the proton is stable but the neutron decays. We need more youngsters to be interested and inspired and motivated to carry on the adventure of understanding more about the subatomic world.

Shingo beat Goto for the NEVER Title and is looking to take on all challengers (heavily hinting at a big defence against SHO as well as the Ishii one tonight, they were also hinting towards a Henare defence but Shingo later pinned Henare in a tag match so that might be off the table).

After R3K defended against Suzukigun, Taguchi came out and told Rocky that he isn't a manager, but a wrestler, and challenged R3K, also attacking them after the bell last night.

Side notes: Ospreay beat ZSJ for the RPW Title and is now officially a heavyweight, other champions from WK all successfully defended at NB. Nothing else has really happened since NB in Osaka apart from Tiger Hattori retiring last nightOne piece of legislation would raise the age to purchase an assault weapon.
On Wednesday (June 8), the Democratic-led House passed legislation to tighten America’s gun laws.
According to CBS News, the legislation passed mainly along party lines (223-204), with five Republicans joining all but two Democrats. On Thursday, the lower chamber also approved 224-202 legislation that would allow family members and law enforcement to obtain an extreme risk protection order from a federal court to temporarily remove access to firearms to those deemed dangerous to themselves or others.
The “Protecting Our Kids Act” is a package of eight bills that cleared the House Judiciary Committee along party lines last week. It would raise the minimum age to purchase a semiautomatic rifle from 18 to 21 years old and ban large-capacity magazines.
While the bill passed in the House, it faces an uphill battle for clearance in the 50-50 Senate. 60 votes are required for the bills to overcome a filibuster and advance.
The legislation also incentivizes safe storage of firearms, establishes requirements regulating storage of guns on residential premises, and builds on the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms' regulatory ban on bump stocks.
The passage of the bills comes after members of the Oversight and Reform Committee heard heart-wrenching testimony from a fourth grader who survived the shooting at Robb Elementary shooting in Uvalde, along with others who lost loved ones in Texas and Buffalo, N.Y.The U.S. Supreme Court has long outlawed racial quotas, but it has ruled that universities may use tailored programs to promote diversity.

They say government should never discriminate by race or gender, and the only way to stop discrimination is to end it.THE NSW Government last week said the much-anticipated revitalisation of Gosford's CBD and waterfront will be guided by the expertise of the NSW Government Architect in order to deliver improved infrastructure and fast-track housing supply as part of the Central Coast Regional Plan.
Minister for Planning and Housing, Anthony Roberts, and Parliamentary Secretary for the Central Coast, Scot MacDonald, confirmed that the Government Architect's office had been commissioned to develop an implementation framework for the Gosford CBD revitalisation.

"The work of the Government Architect, with the support of Central Coast Coordinator General Lee Shearer, will be a major milestone in the renewal and redevelopment of the Gosford CBD and waterfront," Mr Roberts said.
"The NSW Government has already demonstrated its commitment to the area through investment in the Gosford Hospital re-development and the new office building under construction in Mann Street.
"This work aims to implement existing plans to create a dynamic, vibrant and lively Gosford centre that links seamlessly to a revamped waterfront that will be a wonderful place for both locals and visitors to enjoy."
The Government Architect will appoint a multi-disciplinary design team, and after a period of consultation and workshops with key stakeholders, the team will present a final report detailing the work needed to deliver a revived Gosford city centre to Ms Shearer in the new year.
Ms Shearer was recently appointed by Mr Roberts to drive the implementation of the Central Coast Regional Plan and ensure the revitalization and growth of the area.
"The Central Coast is a beautiful area with enormous potential and our commitment is to transform Gosford into the dynamic hub the region deserves," Mr Roberts said.
