Strange Matter - Is it a problem ? - Science Feed


Neutron star jets shoot down theory

Hii, This is Science Feed.



Have you ever heard about strange matter ??

If no, then this line is for you ;)

"Strange Matter is a hypothetical form of quark matter which is more stable than nuclear matter."

There is a reason for saying it strange.
It is predicted that strange matter is found in the core of the neutron star. Neutron stars are one of the densest bodies in the universe. When a star, having 8 times the mass of its initial mass, gets exhausted all its nuclear fuel, then the star starts collapsing in its own core and temperature exceeds. As temperature rises, electrons and protons start forming neutrons by the electron capture process. Slowly, the repulsion force and neutron pressure stop the contraction of the core but start moving outwards leading to the formation of a supernova. Inside supernova, if the left core has 3 times less than the mass of the initial star, it becomes a neutron star. Otherwise, it becomes a black hole.
Now, inside the core of the neutron star, the density is beyond the critical limit due to which protons and neutrons break up into their native quarks. the final matter is hypothesized as strange matter,
So, According to the prediction, its inside neutron star.
But, Why Strange matter is problems for us?
Even after no singe proof, Strange matter is a problem.

Here is why.
Stranger matter has a bizarre property. It is so much stable that it can convert any nuclear matter in strange one. Even a small strangelet is able to destroy our whole planet in a small interval of time (as prediction). Neutron stars have strange matter in is core. Maybe two colliding neutron stars eject out strangelets, which will reach our planet from a distant part of our galaxy.
Currently, researches are going on quarks which may reveal more secrets about strange matter.

Some scientists also believe that one day we will be able to harness the life-saving energy from this weird state of matter. The strange matter may become our future source of energy.
But, we cannot say what will happen in the future.

What is Fermi Paradox? - Science Feed

Have you ever thought why we have not found any advanced intelligent organism yet? Or is there any other type of life form outside our planet Earth? These are the basic questions that come into mind when we talk about Fermi Paradox. Fermi Paradox Fermi paradox is the lack of compatibility or contradiction between the high chances of existence of extraterrestrial civilization in the universe and lack of evidence to find them or communicate with them. This was termed after the name of physicist Enrico Fermi. It casually came in head of Fermi during talk with his colleagues and he asked, "Where is everybody?". Early and Related Theories Before Fermi Enrico, the founding father of modern rocket science  Konstantin Eduardovich Tsiolkovsky, a  Russian scientist, proposed Zoo hypothesis. In Zoo hypothesis, it is speculated that the extraterrestrial civilization knows about our existence but instead of contacting us, they opt to do observation on us similar to animals in zoo.  Th...

Will You Inject Yourself with an Ancient Bacteria for Longer Life ? - Science Feed

Hii, This is Science Feed. In 2009, 3.5 million years old bacteria was found in the permafrost region on Mammoth Mountain in Siberia's Yakutsk Region. The bacteria was named 'Bacillus F' which was found by the Russian Scientist named Anatoli Brouchkov, head of the Geocryology Department at Moscow State University. After numbers of experiments, it was found that those mice which were injected with these bacterias have far better strength and immune system than normal mice. Each time the experiment was done, the results were the same. Curiously, One day Dr. Brouchkov injected himself with these 3.5 million old bacteria without knowing what would happen to his body. The problem was that scientists didn't know how the bacteria increase life span in mice. And about humans, not even a penny !!! He became the first guinea pig for the experiment In a statement, Dr. Brouchkov said that since the day he injected himself with, he felt more energetic and healthier. He eve...
