Spinons and holons.... jeez! Where do they come up with these names?

 

[ar81]

They found the dimensions of spinland and holonland...!!! Finally!!! Now we might discover the master of the rings.

Some names "spin" others are just of "hollow" meaning .

Really, how many particles can a physicist invent to change a lightbulb?
I've heard of gravitons, muons, Higgs' Particles, leptons, gluons, etc.... and now it's Spinons and Holons.

Hopefully, a few more, then it will all collapse into vibrons and ticks of unified physics.

It's probably all just one particle. Depending on how you look at it means it takes on different roles. :lol:

Spinons are named such because they have the characteristic of quantum spin (and also the magnetic charge, which comes about as electrons spin). Holons are named such because of the concept of "holes" in electron charge (spots of positive charge are represented as "holes" where electrons would be).

That's quite obvious (or intuitive). the problem is the veracity of so many particles. I don't actually deny the results of these experiments because I'm no engineer or physicist. I question how the detectors of particle accelerators and these experiments work, because the correspond too well to theoretic models to be true.

:lol: The cat is both dead and alive, it depends on when and how you see it.
