Great photo of the master poet and artist. And who is the tolerant black cat?
Thanks for looking Wayne. That is Othello Patroclus himself, aka HRH. He is
our beloved ruler and as a true force of nature, he governs activities at 145
Woodland Mead.
I previously posted a brief description of the OP force--addended below. The
mediating particle must be massless or nearly so as the range of the force
appears limitless. (like the photon for the electromagnetic force or the
putative graviton.
" In order of increasing strength:
5. The Gravitational Force
This is the force that holds us onto the Earth. It could be important in
our daily life, but on the scale of atomic world it is of negligible or no
importance at all. Gravitational force is cumulative and extended to infinity.
But on the scale of individual particles, the force is extremely small,
only in the order of 10**-38 times that of the strong force--10**-50 times
that of the OP force
4. The Weak Force This force is responsible for nuclear beta decay and
other similar decay processes involving fundamental particles. The range of
this force is smaller than 1 fm and is 10**-7 weaker than the strong force
3. The Electromagnetic Force This is the force which exists between all
particles which have an electric charge. For example, electrons (negative
charge) bind with nucleus of an atom, due to the presence of protons (positive
charge). The force is long range, in principle extending over infinite
distance. It is 100 times weaker than the strong force and twelve orders of
magnitude weaker yet again than the OP force--mediated by photons as described
by QED--quantum electrodynamics.
2. The Strong Force
This force is responsible for binding of nuclei. It is the dominant one in
reactions and decays of most of the fundamental particles. This force is so
strong that it binds and stabilize the protons of similar charges within a
nucleus. However, it is very short range. No such force will be felt beyond the
order of 1 fm (femtometer or 10**-15 m). Mediated by Gluons as described in
QCD-- Quantum chromodynamics.
1. OP Force Othello Patroclus Force -- Governs all particle activity
at 145. Mediated by force of will and remains unexplained by quantum theory.
Physics lesson for the day, Mike"
