Brian Greene

The full name of string theory is really superstring theory. The 'super' stands for this feature called supersymmetry, which, without getting into any details, predicts that for every known particle in the world, there should be a partner particle, the so-called supersymmetric partner.

American Physicist

Ashoke Sen

I work in string theory. This is a branch of physics which assumes that the elementary objects in the universe are not particles but one-dimensional objects, that is, strings.

Indian Physicist

Sheldon Lee Glashow

People want to know about what's going on with what's in the universe, what are particles like, what are the basic rules of nature. It's a lot of curiosity out there.

Ernest Walton

As the size of cyclotrons increases and faster particles are produced, a difficulty arises due to the relativistic increase of mass of the particle.

Irish Physicist

Neil deGrasse Tyson

Most gravity has no known origin. Is it some exotic particle? Nobody knows. Is dark energy responsible for expansion of the universe? Nobody knows.

American Scientist

Letitia Elizabeth Landon

Enthusiasm is the divine particle in our composition: with it we are great, generous, and true; without it, we are little, false, and mean.

English Poet

Stephen Hawking

I had a bet with Gordon Kane of Michigan University that the Higgs particle wouldn't be found.

English Physicist

Richard P. Feynman

Investigating the forces that hold the nuclear particles together was a long task.

Heber J. Grant

There never was one particle of... jealousy... in the heart of Hyrum Smith.

American Clergyman

Murray Gell-Mann

I do not keep up with the details of particle physics.

The word emphasizes the smallness or insignificance of something.

Size Implication

Often used to suggest a tiny amount or lack of something non-physical.

Figurative Use

Commonly found in negative contexts to stress absence.

Negative Sentence

Indicates a part of matter that is used in scientific and technical descriptions.

Scientific Precision

Often appears in discussions about quantum physics and subatomic particles.

Quantum Context

Associated with sophisticated technology like particle accelerators.

High-tech Equipment

Used to describe a small word which gives additional meaning to a verb or verb phrase.

Grammatical Role

The meaning of a particle can change depending on its position within the phrase.

Context Sensitive

The same particle can have various meanings in different phrasal verbs.

Multiple Meanings

 deep, frozen versions of our solar system. In the sky, they look like this. We know them for their tails. There are actually two tails. One is a dust tail, which is blown away by the solar wind. The other one is an ion tail, which is charged particles, and they follow the magnetic field in the solar system.

Fred Jansen: How to land...

 The universe is bustling with matter and energy. Even in the vast apparent emptiness of intergalactic space, there's one hydrogen atom per cubic meter. That's not the mention a barrage of particles and electromagnetic radiation passing every which way from stars, galaxies, and into black holes.

Is it possible to create...

 electrons, protons, quarks, neutrinos, that make up you and me. However, recent theories in physics, including one called string theory, are now telling us there could be countless other universes built on different types of particles, with different properties, obeying different laws.

Questions No One Knows...

 But we know it's out there because we can observe its gravitational attraction on galaxies and other celestial objects. We've yet to directly observe dark matter, but scientists theorize that we may actually be able to create it in the most powerful particle collider in the world.

Could we create dark...

 Actually, yes. Using particle accelerators, we can mimic the complex nuclear reactions that create gold in stars. But these machines can only construct gold atom by atom. So it would take almost the age of the universe to produce one gram

Where does gold come...

 Einstein and his colleagues called this strange communcation spooky action at a distance. While it does seem that entanglement between two particles helps transfer a qubit instantaneously across the space between them, there's a catch.

 however once the particles settle they provide a lot of nutrients to the ground and the newly solidified lava that has cleared the previous plant life now paves the way for the first stages of succession surely forest fires are too

 that everything in the world was made up of tiny particles surrounded by empty space. And he even speculated that they vary in size and shape depending on the substance they compose.
