OGT DAILY Day One Hundred and Seventy Four TINY PARTICLES

From the world of quantum physics today comes even more revelations about the undefinable complexity and variability of our physical world.   Quarks are those particles within the smallest units of cellular structure - protons, neutrons and electrons.   At the CERN Hadron collider in Switzerland they have smashed atomic structures to produce a novel configuration of quarks never seen before.   Apparently quarks are usually either up or down, but they have some unusual cousins known by the cartoon character names of top, bottom, strange and charmer - all heavier versions of their more plain cousins.  In Switzerland they found these quarks in a whole variety of configurations never imagined before: charmers dancing with ups, two strange with a down, etc....   According to Scientific American (https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-inner-life-of-quarks-extreme-physics-special) these particles can also transform causing elements to change.  The alchemists dream of turning other metals into gold is theoretically true.   Life is even more strange and wonderous than we imagined.


Perhaps the presence of the man/child president hugging one of the most malicious and manipulative dictators in modern history at the G20 in Hamburg, is just another manifestation of that strangeness and this will transform too before our society is completely destroyed.
