Why It Works with Ethan Wolf & Niv MoussanWhy It Works - Ep.10 - The Weak Force and BeyondJoin Ethan and Niv as they continue their quantum journey in today's episode, exploring the weak force responsible for particle decay. They will take you back to the dark ages of our universe and discuss the unification of elements and nuclear fusion. Learn about bosons, the force carrier particles that instruct protons on what to change. The episode also takes a detour into gravitons and neutrinos, touching on Ethan's potential PhD thesis.Discover what neutral current and particle flux mean, revisit the bubble chamber, and enjoy a special mention of Lucy’s 5th birthday.Enjoy listening and pl...2024-07-041h 00Why It Works with Ethan Wolf & Niv MoussanWhy It Works - Ep.9 - Exploring the Depths of Color ConfinementJoin Ethan and Niv in today's episode as they dive deeper into color confinement, explore theoretical gravity solutions to the proton mass gap problem, and discuss breaking color confinement at the Hagedorn temperature. They'll also cover the early universe's quark-gluon plasma phase, evidence from particle accelerator experiments, and efforts to extend the lifespan of quark-gluon plasma. Plus, enjoy a fun explanation of the six flavors of quarks.

Why are quarks never observed to be free?
How do particle accelerators work?
What effects may dark matter and gravity have on this scale?
All this and more is discussed on today’s ep.8 (not ep.7 like we said in the beginning, oops)
