I think as AI improves; this type of story will appear more and more often.

If I fully understood this stuff, I would have written it. But I don’t, and I didn’t. But I’m glad to know that gluons are more quantifiable than previously thought.

Gluons are essentially the smallest building blocks of reality known.

That's because the name "snap-on" didn't stick.

“Gluons are essentially the smallest building blocks of reality known. “

Gluons are essentially the smallest building blocks of our models.

This is great news. Sometimes things hit a nerve with me and I feel like coming ungluoned.

Took AI 12 hours. Things are going to come fast as AI solves more problems, as long as it never concludes that we are a problem...

But...but...but...we were told we all came from a primordial swamp so nothing so complex could evolve from that origin.

It never ceases to amaze me that science keeps discovering the unimaginable complexity of God’s design.

Yet some still believe we are like pieces of a Swiss watch, placed in a box, shook-up and when opened...there’s a completed watch.

We will know the 'Singularity' is here when it resolves the Riemann Hypothesis.

What a relief. Thank God. Now I can sleep at night.

And all because AI.

But under a special and highly precise alignment, known as the half-collinear regime, that assumption breaks down. In this, the gluons’ momentum lineup in a particular way that changes a long-standing theory. This subtle distinction now allowed physicists to calculate the amplitude and show that it is not zero after all.>>> This seems to Demonstrate order among the quarks (they are aligned). the zero theory was a non aligned or generic movement.

Any massless elementary particle that mediates the strong interaction between quarks is not something I would mess with, but that’s just me….

'Single-minus gluon tree amplitudes are nonzero', available on arXiv, are gluons

What a coincidence. Just last Friday night my bowling team discussed this very topic........

Now that we are in the Singularity we can expect more astounding developments.

There are lies, damned lies, statistics, and gluons.

A Gluon is not unlike a tiny, super-strong particle that holds the fundamental building blocks of matter, called quarks, together inside protons and neutrons, effectively carrying the strong nuclear force that binds atomic nuclei.

Gluons are massless, allowing them to travel at the speed of light, but they're confined within hadrons (a composite subatomic particle made of quarks held together) due to the immense power of the strong force.

Inherently, we all know this, but proving it is difficult. Humans are a force of nature capable of infinate knowlege. Our human-invented AI models are accelerating this knowledge at a level never seen before in human history.

I always find this moves into the realm of religion

But then, I'm an engineer and can't really understand theoretical physics

AI is going to create amazing mathematical equations that have absolutely nothing to do with the real world.

It will be the modern version of counting angels on the heads of pins.
