High-energy 'sun goddess' particle opens possibilities for new physics, exciting scientists

"I am personally excited to have found a new mystery in science to solve."

Over the years, scientists have managed to unveil the existence of quite a few intriguing particles, pushing the entire field of physics forward with each discovery. There's the "God Particle" for instance, aka the Higgs Boson that grants all other particles their masses. There's also the so-called "Oh My God!" particle, an unimaginably energetic cosmic ray.  But now we have a new particle in town. It's named  the "sun goddess" particle  —  and is fittingly extraordinary.  This particle has an energy level one million times greater than what can be generated in even humanity’s most powerful particle accelerators; it appears to have fallen to Earth in a shower of other, less energetic particles. Like the "Oh My God!" particle, these bits come from faraway regions of space and are known as cosmic rays. The particle has been dubbed "Amaterasu" after Amaterasu Ōmikami, the goddess of the sun and the universe in Japanese mythology, whose name means "shining in heaven." And just as its mythological namesake is shrouded in mystery, so too is the Amaterasu particle. Its discoverers, including Osaka Metropolitan University researcher Toshihiro Fujii, don’t know where the particle came from or indeed what it is. They also still aren't sure what kind of violent and powerful process could have given rise to something as energetic as Amaterasu.

things i do to boost my studying ♡

planning:

watching productivity vids on youtube (my playlist in case you want to check it out)

monthly study plan

notion page to keep track

motivation:

personalised wallpapers

pinterest board

study affs every morning

instrumentals for chem, smooth rock for math

cutting out distractions:

disabling instagram

cold turkey website blocker

other:

talking to people who have been/are on the same journey and getting to know their pov

using a skincare band (to protect my hair from my fidgety fingers while studying, it sounds dumb lol but thats how it be sometimes)

ppl on here get sooo mad when someone says you should be a little bit grateful for lgbt allies like sorry but i have homophobic overbearing parents & im used to people thinking gays are freaks and “groomers” so the concept of “cishet people who are willing to ally themselves with the lgbt liberation movement” is something i dont think ill ever take for granted. but thats just me i guess idk. yeah its praising the bare minimum but receiving the bare minimum allyship is a blessing when im used to deeply entrenched homophobia. i’d rather shit talk the people who actually want me dead instead of the cishets showing up at pride to day drink with drag queens. what does ridiculing them do except ruin the vibe :|
