Hiromitsu Takeuchi, a lecturer at the Graduate School of Science, Osaka City University, and a researcher at the Nambu Yoichiro Institute of Theoretical and Experimental Physics (NITEP), has theoretically identified the nature of a mysterious topological defect produced by the recently discovered non-equilibrium time evolution of spontaneous symmetry breaking (SSB). Since the SSB realized in this system is like the SSB that has been known to occur in isotropic superconductors and superfluid 4He, it was expected to produce topological defects with vortex-like properties in the fluid, called quantum vortices. However, the topological defect observed in this experiment has a structure that bore little resemblance to the previously mentioned SSB, and its physical properties have been shrouded in mystery. In this research, the idea of applying the Joukowski transform, which is used to calculate the lift of airplane wings, to quantum vortices was introduced for the first time, and the analysis revealed that the most stable state of this mysterious topological defect is a new topological defect called a quantum elliptic vortex. The results of this research were published online in Physical Review Letters, considered to be one of the most prestigious journals in the field of physics.
A time- and space-dependent function called a "field" is commonly used to describe the properties of physical systems in which SSB occurs. If the motion of the field can be calculated, the behavior of the system can be predicted. However, the calculation is generally difficult because the degrees of freedom of the field are infinite.
One effective way to describe the complex motion of a field is to represent the degrees of freedom of an object floating in it, called a topological defect. The field around the "core" of a topological defect has a certain structure.

God can destroy this planet at anytime and the atheists are worried about GLOBULL WARMING THEORY, including the poopy excuse for a pope!
LOL!
What did I just read????
Is that on the test?!?!?
Pretty cool. I actually kind of understand what they are saying. I’ll have to read more.
I would have told them.
I have worked with scientists in many fields, by far the most difficult were Physicists. They just think differently than others.
Well, duh! 🙄
I had a mysterious topological defect produced by the recently discovered non-equilibrium time evolution of spontaneous symmetry breaking once.
Yeah! Why didn’t I think of that!
My parents told me about this, that somewhere between the laundry basket and the washing machine, is a sock monster.
This was in ‘My Weekly Reader’ in 1962.
And it is currently being used in the calibration of Noffer Trunions.

If this sh!t were in Ebonics, it couldn’t have made less sense to me.
And memory of people over 55
Ben. Thanks for the Summary.
Humm. Got it! A quantum vortex. (No Capes!)

I tried to tell them two years ago how to do this, but they wouldn’t listen.
