Crash Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 I was wondering what is negative and what is positive in terms of properties of charge, what makes an electron negative.. its it the orientation/spin of the particles that make up an electron? Is it due to the arrangement of Quarks that givees it these properties.... How do these arise, like ...what gives Quarks these properties... i dont mind if the explaination contains hefty QM, or complex workings but i need to know please Cheers in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aeschylus Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 It's just a fundamental property of nature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash Posted August 12, 2004 Author Share Posted August 12, 2004 Care to explain? Im interested to know how this property comes about in nature and the very base of what causes it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Severian Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 No-one knows. It is one of the many unanswered questions. Each particle has a value which is the charge (it could be zero) but our theories don't say why. (Actually, each particle has a hypercharge, which combined with isospin gives it its charge, but that is just a technicality.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skye Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 http://particleadventure.org/particleadventure/frameless/chart.html That's a handy chart for the standard model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ydoaPs Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 standard model answer= that is the way it is string theory answer= the vibrational pattern of the string(s)/brane(s) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash Posted August 15, 2004 Author Share Posted August 15, 2004 Cheers for the response, ill just wait untill i can understand stringtheory good enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
