Not the person you replied to, and not really an expert either, but I can tell you that the W and Z bosons (force carriers for the weak force) are very short lived and can only travel through space so far before they decay. This effectively puts a cap on the distance of weak interactions.

We’ll just circle back to a new fuck up that’s guaranteed to come as long as everyone in that chat group continues to hold their position.

nxn@biglemmowski.winto politics @lemmy.world•Trump Says He Knows Nothing About Bombshell Article In The AtlanticEnglish32·4 months agoYou think the president of the US would first hear of a fuck up of this magnitude from the press?
I’m sure that even before the article was published they were trying to think of a way to silence it in a way that wouldn’t make things even worse in the next 24 hours. That’s why Trump was up there preemptively trying to discredit The Atlantic despite claiming to not know anything about his own administration’s incompetent bullshit.

People with clean criminal histories and money always had easy entry, for better or worse.
nxn@biglemmowski.winto politics @lemmy.world•Harris Tried to Win Over Republicans. Democratic Support Collapsed Instead.English8·8 months agoYeah, there should have been limits set on campaign costs, lobbying, media, etc. It’s at a point where it doesn’t seem like it’s even possible to have a middle-class focused campaign that can openly say its basis is on taxing the fuck out of the top 1%.
But all I know is this: the second Trump term will make the standard of life in America far worse for most people. There will be hunger in 2028 for someone to simply say “We’ll fix the middle class, and we’ll make Musk, Bezos, etc pay for it”. Hopefully by then what’s left of twitter will not be as relevant as today, so that the message can at least have a hope of spreading through social media successfully.
nxn@biglemmowski.winto politics @lemmy.world•DOJ moving to wind down Trump criminal cases before he takes officeEnglish60·8 months agoThis is what irritates me the most. I can live with Trump being president despite how much I disagree with the idiot’s concepts. But this places him, as a very orange person, above the law that others have to abide by.
These are cases that were filed before his “president” status from the result of this election and before he even became a candidate in this election. For fuck sake, this should have stopped the whole ball from rolling.
In my view you’re arriving at conclusions of how to act and think a result of being biased by the popular vote. The popular vote has no influence over the existing laws that are being broken nor the existing rights that are being violated. Furthermore, ask yourself, when has the other party ever given a single fuck about the popular vote? So, why do you?
Edit: Made some edits to clarify. Essentially, I’m making the argument that laws shouldn’t be broken and rights shouldn’t be ignored just because a majority is OK with doing so.
Trump getting the popular vote is a problem that needs to be understood. The majority of America voted for a moron that looks as if he smears feces on his face after getting out of bed - among worse flaws.
But what I find most painful is that this asshole wasn’t locked up for J6. Him even being considered as a candidate is blatantly against the constitution. The fact democrats went along with this long enough to actually have the orange shitler win is insane. He is simply and plainly not eligible to be President of the United States.
Edit: Ironically, this is the same clown that spent years nagging Obama for his birth certificate.
nxn@biglemmowski.winto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•I didn't know HOW bad Google search has gotten.English28·10 months agoI don’t know how much of it is specifically Google making their search engine worse vs the web being flooded with AI generated SEO trash that’s intended to keep you on the page for a few minutes when all you need is a simple one word or one sentence answer.
It’s definitely some mix of both though because I found getting concrete answers a lot simpler a decade or two ago just by using quotes around key phrases in conjunction with what seemed to be actual operator keywords like “OR”. I personally don’t think any of that behaves the same way these days, but I have no concrete proof of this so maybe I’m just imagining things.
Either way, I’m slowly coming to terms with the web portion of the internet being a lost cause as AI, bots, and bad actors infiltrate and abuse more and more of it.
So this is where my inexperience kicks in, but I don’t understand how the strong force can function in the same way considering that gluons are massless.
The W and Z bosons having mass prevents them from being able to travel at the speed of light, and therefore they experience time and can only travel some limited distance before decaying into fermions.
But since gluons do not have mass, they, like photons, do not experience time – and so how could they have a half life?
In my mental model of the strong force I assumed that they simply were created and destroyed in an exchange between quarks – much like how photons get absorbed/emitted by electrons. But this alone does not cause a limit on the distance of strong interactions, so I assumed that mechanically any limit on the strong force’s distance must function differently.
