Long Time No See - Update 2/2/2026

Hello!

Long time no see. Apologies for the near four year long break. I am attending UMass Lowell for a degree in Astronomy & Astrophysics with a minor in Mathematics and Statistics. Figured I should know what I am talking about and how to present the information correctly right?

Anyhow, I will be using this Blogger, Inquires About Us, to be posting about my dream career and perhaps some things I have done/plan to do in my astrophysical career. Expect posts about theoretical topics in Astronomy, Astrophysics, Planetary Science, and Astrobiology. 

See you soon!

Ian

  The Theoretical: What is pion (virtual) exchange? What are pions? By: Ian Davis -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Credit and found: https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&url=https%3A%2F%2Fphysics.stackexchange.com%2Fquestions%2F616015%2Fquick-question-about-gluons&psig=AOvVaw31YpwcrVZaPCihzcLmd2Lj&ust=1638990689898000&source=images&cd=vfe&ved=0CAsQjRxqFwoTCLCC4KKy0vQCFQAAAAAdAAAAABAJ Introduction: While researching my exotic mesons and multi-quarks blog, I was introduced to this topic, and I have stumbled across it. My earlier definition stated that it was just a strong force interaction; however, I will go further in-depth because I don't believe that is the limit to this. I have no true idea of what I am about to get into, but I do know a bit of pion, and from my previous research, I can already infer what is going on. But for now, let's get into it. My Research...

In one of their videos, they had lightly covered the topic of strange matter.  Credit and found: https://www.reviewgeek.com/66657/what-were-watching-kurzgesagt-explores-big-questions-with-bite-size-videos/ Here they touched on how strange matter is made, how it is released, why it exists, and many other aspects. The basics of quarks and general atomic information are needed, but it is ...

Matter Just Matters: What exactly is plasma? More specifically what is Quark Gluon Plasma, how does it work?

Matter Just Matters: What exactly is plasma? More specifically, what is Quark-Gluon Plasma? How does it work? By: Ian Davis -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Introduction: So my significant other made a mistake by saying that I was the hottest thing in the universe, wrong, just wrong; I remember this article saying that the hottest thing in the universe that we have observed was this special reaction in the chamber at CERN's Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider at Brookhaven National Laboratory where they managed to discover a type of matter called Quark-Gluon Plasma that can exist at 4-6 trillion degrees Celsius by smashing gold particles which created a 7-10 trillion degrees Fahrenheit reaction (~4 trillion degrees Celsius, which is hotter than a supernova explosion), which is just an astounding achievement for the human race as a whole. Nevertheless, what they created is truly the thin...
