[物]无质量的
A hypothetical massless,neutral elementary particle believed to mediate the strong interaction that binds quarks together.
胶子假设的无质量的中性基本粒子之一,被认为能传递一种把夸克结合在一起的强大的相互作用力量
词组
||1: As Mr Mee explains, the elusive particle is believed to be the physical manifestation of the so-called Higgs field, which has pervaded the universe since shortly after the Big Bang. ||2: In the beginning, all particles were massless . ||3: This, as any physicist will tell you, is the same as saying they zipped around at the speed of light; a massive particle, by contrast, is by definition more sluggish. ||4: When the universe’s temperature dropped below 1 trillion degrees or so, though, it underwent a phase transition: suddenly the Higgs field flipped on and some particles, but not others, began interacting with Higgs bosons. Those that did slowed down. ||5: In other words, they gained mass. ||6: As a consequence, some kind of primordial symmetry was, to use physicists’ jargon, “spontaneously broken”. ||7: If this sounds abstruse, Mr Mee shows how it led to the formation of complex atoms, and thus all of life—which explains why some call the Higgs the “god particle”. ||8: The author also offers an inkling of the underlying maths in terms of elementary algebra. (Though he or his editor could have had more faith in readers and not relegated this to an appendix.)
||1:正如梅所解释的,人们相信这些难捉摸的粒子就是所谓的希格斯场的物质证明,而在大爆炸后不久希格斯场就开始遍及宇宙了。||2:起初,所有的粒子都是没有质量的。||3:正如任何一位物理学家都会告诉你的,这等于是说它们以光速四处飞过;相比之下,就定义来看一个有质量的粒子缓慢多了。||4:不过,当宇宙温度降至低于1万亿度左右,它经历了一个相变:希格斯场突然翻转,一些粒子开始与希格斯玻色子相互作用,而其它粒子则不与希格斯玻色子相互作用。参与相互作用的那些粒子慢了下来。||5:换句话说,它们获得了质量。||6:因此,用物理学家的行话说,某种原始的对称性“自发破坏了”。||7:如果这听起来很深奥,那么梅就展示了它如何导致了复杂原子的形成,从而形成了所有的生命,这点解释了为什么有些人称希格斯介子为“上帝粒子”。||8:笔者还以初等代数的方式提供了基础数学的端倪。(不过梅或他的编辑本可对读者更有信心,而不是把这端倪归进附录)。
adjective
1.
‘Even though photons are massless, they still have an equivalent mass because they have energy.’
‘For example, Einstein’s special relativity theory predicts that massless particles in a vacuum travel at the speed of light and that particles with mass travel more slowly, in a way that can be calculated if we know their mass.’
