Why It Works with Ethan & Niv - Ep.6 - The Strong Force

Why It Works - Ep.10 - The Weak Force and Beyond

Join Ethan and Niv as they continue their quantum journey in today's episode, exploring the weak force responsible for particle decay. They will take you back to the dark ages of our universe and discuss the unification of elements and nuclear fusion. Learn about bosons, the force carrier particles that instruct protons on what to change. The episode also takes a detour into gravitons and neutrinos, touching on Ethan's potential PhD thesis. Discover what neutral current and particle flux mean, revisit the bubble chamber, and enjoy a special mention of Lucy’s 5th birthday.

Why It Works - Ep.9 - Exploring the Depths of Color Confinement

Join Ethan and Niv in today's episode as they dive deeper into color confinement, explore theoretical gravity solutions to the proton mass gap problem, and discuss breaking color confinement at the Hagedorn temperature. They'll also cover the early universe's quark-gluon plasma phase, evidence from particle accelerator experiments, and efforts to extend the lifespan of quark-gluon plasma. Plus, enjoy a fun explanation of the six flavors of quarks. Enjoy listening and please rate/send us any feedback to Whyitworkspod@gmail.com.

Why It Works - Ep.8 - Color confinement

Join Ethan and Niv as we continue our dive into color confinement and its applications. Why are quarks never observed to be free? How do particle accelerators work? What effects may dark matter and gravity have on this scale? All this and more is discussed on today’s ep.8 (not ep.7 like we said in the beginning, oops) Enjoy listening and please rate/send us any feedback to Whyitworkspod@gmail.com.

Why It Works with Ethan & Niv - Ep.7 - Quantum Chromodynamics

In today's episode Ethan and Niv dive into the rules of Quantum Chromodynamics , those which guide the Quarks and Gluons interactions. We'll also discuss the phenomenon known as Color confinement, and the rules for different color combinations. Get ready to hear all about Quarks, color balance, particle detectors and more!

Why It Works with Ethan & Niv - Ep.6 - The Strong Force

Join Ethan and Niv in today's journey as we begin to dive into the next fundamental force of the universe: The Strong Force. Together we will build up the proper model of atomic structure and in this, learn about Gluons, Mesons, Quarks and their respective properties.
