this particle only has mass in one direction

[scruffy]

This particle only has mass when it's moving in one direction, and not the other.

In the other direction, it's massless.

It's called a "semi-Dirac fermion". It lives inside a crystal of ZrSiS.

Strange new particle only has mass when moving in one direction

For the first time, scientists have caught a glimpse of a strange and elusive creature in the world of quantum physics—a semi-Dirac fermion.

The quantum world is truly strange.

What means "one direction not the other"? It exist no real directions in space. "to move" means to change a position in space. Position (left-right, up-down, forward-backward) are practically triune. Space is existing. Time is existing. What changes position in space and time is moving. But "direction" is 'only' our own orientation.

This is an example of "symmetry breaking".

Symmetry in physics was studied by the famous mathematician Emmy Noether (who was Einstein's math tutor).

It is spatial symmetry that underlies the law of "conservation of momentum" in physics.

When spatial symmetry is broken, momentum is no longer conserved.

Yep, take any rule you know at the macro level for physics and throw them out.

Wasn't there a joke sometime that if everything at the quantum level worked out right, a bus could go through a brick wall without damaging either object?

The more important question ... if a bus went though a brick wall, would anyone believe it? ... because these types of things have been happening ... just no one trusts their own eyes ... would you? ...

There's electrical phenomena in the upper atmosphere that jet fighter pilots have been witnessing for years and decades ... but never said anything lest they be grounded as "mentally unstable" ... only crazies report craziness ...

Yes, there was, also they would talk about bouncing a ball on the floor and going thru the floor with no damage to either.

Here is another extremely strange example of a quantum experiment.

Since when is "symmetry breaking" a direction?

Emmy Noether, Felix Klein and David Hilbert ... this remembers me to a wonderful space and time in which I never lived.

You said with a lot of words nothing. Or do you really understand what you speak about? What has the mass of a particle to do with any direction? Where is the absolute coordinate which would make clear what is a direction in which mass exists and a direction in which no mass exists?

This means a cause is also able to be in the future. And in this case an action could interact with itselve - could be it's own cause. So it is either a kind of circle in time (In this case time would have more than one dimension) or a kind of loop which ends in another parallel structure in time - so also in this case time would have more than one dimension. But what will happen when someone will step one step direction "left" in time? ¿Suddenly someone would appear there and disappear again with the next time-step? And how the energy vacuum in our space and time will be filled ("energy"=the mass of the body the universe will miss here)?

When one direction is not like another. Duh.

Read Emmy Noether.

Or any math textbook on groups and rings.

Yes.

Sigh. Back to the ignore list.

Wonderful. No question furthermore, intellectual giant. Ever thought about it could be just simple wrong what they found out? The belief in science is no science.

This particle only has mass when it's moving in one direction, and not the other.
In the other direction, it's massless.

Well, let's be clear here that there is no actual particle involved here, it is just a behavior of electrons induced in a very special material at near absolute zero in an intense magnetic field, where the behavior of the electronic shift meets with more resistance in one direction and less resistance in the other. It is the application of this effect that intrigues developers.

There's electrical phenomena in the upper atmosphere that jet fighter pilots have been witnessing for years and decades ... but never said anything lest they be grounded as "mentally unstable" ... only crazies report craziness ...

Which always surprises me. The electrical discharges we associate with thunderstorms is not really between the Earth and the clouds but between Earth and space. So there are just as many differences of potential between the electrical envelop surround the planet as there are generated between cloud and ground. The true electrical field of the Earth no doubt both involves and goes far beyond the Moon and we see just hints of that in things like jets and sprites.

What do you mean “these types of things have been happening”?

A bus may crash through a brick wall, but no bus has ever “phased” through a brick wall. Those sorts of things have most certainly not been happening….

The boot strap paradox. There have been movies about this yes. The implications could be far reaching. We could literally create the god that created us.Very strange to think about.

Thank you for the example that proves my point ... even if it did happen, no one would believe it ...

One in a billion happens 8 times a day ... do you work much with quantum probabilities? ... just curious ...

No - not really. Even if this could be wrong it could be a very interesting way. We err upwards. First of all we should try to understand what works how - until we find something where we are definetely able to say "yes", "no" or "not decideable".

Manche einfältige Leute meinen, sie sollten [sich] Gott vorstellen, als stünde er dort und sie hier. So ist es nicht. Gott und ich wir sind eins. Mit dem Erkennen nehme ich Gott in mich auf, mit der Liebe gehe ich in Gott auf.
Meister Eckhart
Some simple-minded people think they should imagine God as if he were standing there and they were standing here. It's not like that. God and I are one. With knowledge I receive God into myself, with love I enter into God.

Daher soll deine Seele allen Geistes bar sein, soll geistlos dastehen. Denn liebst du Gott, wie er Gott, wie er Geist, wie er Person und wie er Bild ist, - das alles muss weg. 'Wie denn aber soll ich ihn lieben?' - Du sollst ihn lieben, wie er ist ein Nicht-Gott, ein Nicht-Geist, eine Nicht-Person, ein Nicht-Bild, mehr noch: wie ein lauteres, reines, klares Eines ist, abgesondert von aller Zweiheit. Und in diesem Einen sollen wir ewig versinken vom Etwas zum Nichts. Dazu verhelfe uns Gott.
=
Therefore, your soul should be devoid of all spirit, should be spiritless. For if you love God as he is God, as he is spirit, as he is person and as he is image - all that must go. 'But how shall I love him?' - You should love him as he is a non-God, a non-spirit, a non-person, a non-image, and even more: as a pure, pure, clear One, separated from all duality. And in this One we should sink eternally from something to nothing. May God help us to do so.

Take the number of computers in the world, and multiply by the number of transistors per chip.

Quantum tunneling happens at least that many times per day.

Is that like how you don't look like you have a gut when you look straight at the mirror, but when you look sideways it does?

Now multiple by the number of atoms per transistor ... quantum effects are observed at this atomic level or smaller ...

There's a billion billion trillion molecules of water in just a teaspoon ... all moving at Planck time ... what are the odds? ... the number of seconds since the Big Bang is trivial in comparison ...
