Text of the page (random words):
atistics amongst the baryons are the protons and neutrons which occur in atomic nuclei but many other unstable baryons exist as well the term baryon usually refers to triquarks particles made of three quarks also exotic baryons made of four quarks and one antiquark are known as pentaquarks but their existence is not generally accepted baryonic matter is the part of the universe that is made of baryons including all atoms this part of the universe does not include dark energy dark matter black holes or various forms of degenerate matter such as those that compose white dwarf stars and neutron stars microwave light seen by wilkinson microwave anisotropy probe wmap suggests that only about 4 6 of that part of the universe within range of the best telescopes that is matter that may be visible because light could reach us from it is made of baryonic matter about 26 8 is dark matter and about 68 3 is dark energy 37 the great majority of ordinary matter in the universe is unseen since visible stars and gas inside galaxies and clusters account for less than 10 per cent of the ordinary matter contribution to the mass energy density of the universe 38 hadronic hadronic matter can refer to ordinary baryonic matter made from hadrons baryons and mesons or quark matter a generalisation of atomic nuclei i e the low temperature qcd matter 39 it includes degenerate matter and the result of high energy heavy nuclei collisions 40 degenerate main article degenerate matter in physics degenerate matter refers to the ground state of a gas of fermions at a temperature near absolute zero 41 the pauli exclusion principle requires that only two fermions can occupy a quantum state one spin up and the other spin down hence at zero temperature the fermions fill up sufficient levels to accommodate all the available fermions and in the case of many fermions the maximum kinetic energy called the fermi energy and the pressure of the gas becomes very large and depends on the number of fermions rather than the temperature unlike normal states of matter degenerate matter is thought to occur during the evolution of heavy stars 42 the demonstration by subrahmanyan chandrasekhar that white dwarf stars have a maximum allowed mass because of the exclusion principle caused a revolution in the theory of star evolution 43 degenerate matter includes the part of the universe that is made up of neutron stars and white dwarfs strange main article strange matter strange matter is a particular form of quark matter usually thought of as a liquid of up down and strange quarks it is contrasted with nuclear matter which is a liquid of neutrons and protons which themselves are built out of up and down quarks and with non strange quark matter which is a quark liquid that contains only up and down quarks at high enough density strange matter is expected to be color superconducting strange matter is hypothesized to occur in the core of neutron stars or more speculatively as isolated droplets that may vary in size from femtometers strangelets to kilometers quark stars two meanings in particle physics and astrophysics the term is used in two ways one broader and the other more specific the broader meaning is just quark matter that contains three flavors of quarks up down and strange in this definition there is a critical pressure and an associated critical density and when nuclear matter made of protons and neutrons is compressed beyond this density the protons and neutrons dissociate into quarks yielding quark matter probably strange matter the narrower meaning is quark matter that is more stable than nuclear matter the idea that this could happen is the strange matter hypothesis of bodmer 44 and witten 45 in this definition the critical pressure is zero the true ground state of matter is always quark matter the nuclei that we see in the matter around us which are droplets of nuclear matter are actually metastable and given enough time or the right external stimulus would decay into droplets of strange matter i e strangelets leptons main article lepton leptons are particles of spin 1 2 meaning that they are fermions they carry an electric charge of 1 e charged leptons or 0 e neutrinos unlike quarks leptons do not carry colour charge meaning that they do not experience the strong interaction leptons also undergo radioactive decay meaning that they are subject to the weak interaction leptons are massive particles therefore are subject to gravity lepton properties name symbol spin electric charge e mass mev c 2 mass comparable to

ν τ phases main article phase matter see also phase diagram and state of matter phase diagram for a typical substance at a fixed volume in bulk matter can exist in several different forms or states of aggregation known as phases 48 depending on ambient pressure temperature and volume 49 a phase is a form of matter that has a relatively uniform chemical composition and physical properties such as density specific heat refractive index and so forth these phases include the three familiar ones solids liquids and gases as well as more exotic states of matter such as plasmas superfluids supersolids bose einstein condensates a fluid may be a liquid gas or plasma there are also paramagnetic and ferromagnetic phases of magnetic materials as conditions change matter may change from one phase into another these phenomena are called phase transitions and are studied in the field of thermodynamics in nanomaterials the vastly increased ratio of surface area to volume results in matter that can exhibit properties entirely different from those of bulk material and not well described by any bulk phase see nanomaterials for more details phases are sometimes called states of matter but this term can lead to confusion with thermodynamic states for example two gases maintained at different pressures are in different thermodynamic states different pressures but in the same phase both are gases antimatter main article antimatter unsolved problem in physics baryon asymmetry why is there far more matter than antimatter in the observable universe more unsolved problems in physics antimatter is matter that is composed of the antiparticles of those that constitute ordinary matter if a particle and its antiparticle come into contact with each other the two annihilate that is they may both be converted into other particles with equal energy in accordance with albert einstein s equation e mc 2 these new particles may be high energy photons gamma rays or other particle antiparticle pairs the resulting particles are endowed with an amount of kinetic energy equal to the difference between the rest mass of the products of the annihilation and the rest mass of the original particle antiparticle pair which is often quite large depending on which definition of matter is adopted antimatter can be said to be a particular subclass of matter or the opposite of matter antimatter is not found naturally on earth except very briefly and in vanishingly small quantities as the result of radioactive decay lightning or cosmic rays this is because antimatter that came to exist on earth outside the confines of a suitable physics laboratory would almost instantly meet the ordinary matter that earth is made of and be annihilated antiparticles and some stable antimatter such as antihydrogen can be made in tiny amounts but not in enough quantity to do more than test a few of its theoretical properties there is considerable speculation both in science and science fiction as to why the observable universe is apparently almost entirely matter in the sense of quarks and leptons but not antiquarks or antileptons and whether other places are almost entirely antimatter antiquarks and antileptons instead in the early universe it is thought that matter and antimatter were equally represented and the disappearance of antimatter requires an asymmetry in physical laws called cp charge parity symmetry violation which can be obtained from the standard model 50 but at this time the apparent asymmetry of matter and antimatter in the visible universe is one of the great unsolved problems in physics possible processes by which it came about are explored in more detail under baryogenesis formally antimatter particles can be defined by their negative baryon number or lepton number while normal non antimatter matter particles have positive baryon or lepton number 51 these two classes of particles are the antiparticle partners of one another in october 2017 scientists reported further evidence that matter and antimatter equally produced at the big bang are identical should completely annihilate each other and as a result the universe should not exist 52 this implies that there must be something as yet unknown to scientists that either stopped the complete mutual destruction of matter and antimatter in the early forming universe or that gave rise to an imbalance between the two forms conservation two quantities that can define an amount of matter in the quark lepton sense and antimatter in an antiquark antilepton sense baryon number and lepton number are conserved in the standard model a baryon such as the proton or neutron has a baryon number of one and a quark because there are three in a baryon is given a baryon number of 1 3 so the net amount of matter as measured by the number of quarks minus the number of antiquarks which each have a baryon number of 1 3 which is proportional to baryon number and number of leptons minus antileptons which is called the lepton number is practically impossible to change in any process even in a nuclear bomb none of the baryons protons and neutrons of which the atomic nuclei are composed are destroyed there are as many baryons after as before the reaction so none of these matter particles are actually destroyed and none are even converted to non matter particles like photons of light or radiation instead nuclear and perhaps chromodynamic binding energy is released as these baryons become bound into mid size nuclei having less energy and equivalently less mass per nucleon compared to the original small hydrogen and large plutonium etc nuclei even in electron positron annihilation there is no net matter being destroyed because there was zero net matter zero total lepton number and baryon number to begin with before the annihilation one lepton minus one antilepton equals zero net lepton number and this net amount matter does not change as it simply remains zero after the annihilation 53 in short matter as defined in physics refers to baryons and leptons the amount of matter is defined in terms of baryon and lepton number baryons and leptons can be created but their creation is accompanied by antibaryons or antileptons and they can be destroyed by annihilating them with antibaryons or antileptons since antibaryons antileptons have negative baryon lepton numbers the overall baryon lepton numbers are not changed so matter is conserved however baryons leptons and antibaryons antileptons all have positive mass so the total amount of mass is not conserved further outside of natural or artificial nuclear reactions there is almost no antimatter generally available in the universe see baryon asymmetry and leptogenesis so particle annihilation is rare in normal circumstances dark main articles dark matter lambda cdm model and wimps see also galaxy formation and evolution and dark matter halo pie chart showing the fractions of energy in the universe

galactic center the sun is marked in yellow the observed rotation speed curve is marked by data points the predicted curve based on the stellar mass and gas of the milky way is in black the difference is due to dark matter or possibly a modification of gravity like mond the data shown can be found here 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 in astrophysics and cosmology dark matter is matter of unknown composition that does not emit or reflect enough electromagnetic radiation to be observed directly but whose presence can be inferred from gravitational effects on visible matter 69 70 observational evidence of the early universe and the big bang theory require that this matter have energy and mass but not be composed of ordinary baryons protons and neutrons the commonly accepted view is that most of the dark matter is non baryonic in nature 69 as such it is composed of particles as yet unobserved in the laboratory perhaps they are supersymmetric particles 71 which are not standard model particles but relics formed at very high energies in the early phase of the universe and still floating about 69 energy main article dark energy see also big bang dark energy in cosmology dark energy is the name given to the source of the repelling influence that is accelerating the rate of expansion of the universe its precise nature is currently a mystery although its effects can reasonably be modeled by assigning matter like properties such as energy density and pressure to the vacuum itself 72 73 fully 70 of the matter density in the universe appears to be in the form of dark energy twenty six percent is dark matter only 4 is ordinary matter so less than 1 part in 20 is made out of matter we have observed experimentally or described in the standard model of particle physics of

physics which may include dark matter and dark energy but goes further to include any hypothetical material that violates one or more of the properties of known forms of matter some such materials might possess hypothetical properties like negative mass historical and philosophical study the modern conception of matter has been refined many ti...
