Planck Tank

Thank you insane_alien, that settles that issue. This may be way off topic, or not, got me, but anyways here it is. If the String Theory is to be true, than is correct to say that the Quark is indeed not a fundamental particle, but a composite one? Saying this, does this now mean that the Higgs Field, thus the Higg Boson enacts upon the String to make it vibrate at varying frequencies, and not the Quark? This would explain why the String Theory sets the strings as rapidly vibrating ones (Due to bombardment of Higgs Bosons), giving kinetic energy (Mass) and distinct properties to that atom. Can anyone put input to this assumption I am making?

Thank you very much Severian, that really clarifies some of my future questions as well as my last question posted. BTW, I was looking through Wikipedia, and I may have glanced at MeV being Million Electron Volts or something like that?

How can I be so naive! So that must mean the accumulation of quarks vibrating causes gravity? (It really is the same as saying mass causes gravity) Hmm.

I am VERY new to particle physics, but I am getting hooked. I have taken an eye upon the Higgs Particle and Field. Scientists say that it is the interaction of the Higgs Field containing Higgs Particles that matter gets its mass. Namely, the quarks that make up the protons and neutrons are set into motion because of the molasses effect of them "rubbing" with the field of Higgs Particles, thus giving kinetic energy to the quarks, hence the nucleus's mass, thus giving all matter its mass. Just in the last hour, I was thinking about something pessimistic. Why can't it be simply gravity, and NOT the Higgs Field that is interacting on quarks to give objects its mass? Please prove me wrong in my thinking, for I find the Higgs Particle and Field to be amazing.

What a coincidience. I am just delving into Quantum Mechanics myself, and my mom recommended The Dancing Wu Li Masters:An Overview of the New Physics. The title made me skepticle at first. I thought it was some spiritual book, but the book looks to be very legit. It is perfect for beginners. It barely contains math, as it only uses references and examples for the duration of the thick book. Before diving into the math, it is good to get and overview of what Quantum Mechanics looks like visually via relationships, which is what the book does. I picked it up used for $4.50 on Amazon.com. Many places have it. Good luck and have fun, for I know I will.
