Proton Visualization

Ever since I was a kid, I have been utterly fascinated by the very tiny and the very large. Imaging a blackhole was just done not too long ago, and now scientist and animators work together to try to image what a proton might look like.

@quarktastic posted about this some time ago, but I am just not getting to look into the article and videos. It is quite festinating!

Here is a snippet from the video:

“Visualizing the Proton” by @artsatmit .

In their video description they state:

“The proton has almost universally been visualized as a billiard ball with quark and gluon billiard ball constituents. Yet, we now know that this visualization is entirely wrong. Quarks and gluons can spin, have linear and circular motion, and can appear and disappear. How can this complex and seemingly ‘impossible’ world be visualized? To answer this question, artists and scientists have collaborated to depict the subatomic world in a new way with an innovative animation that conveys the current understanding of the structure of the proton in terms of its fundamental constituents. This explanatory video created by MIT Professor Richard Milner and physicist Rolf Ent at Jefferson Lab provides an overview of the project and the physics behind it, presenting the animations that have resulted from the collaboration.”

Well, duh! What's so hard to understand? This looks simple. Just slow it all down.😂
