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

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 ...

The Big Bang, or the highest granting theory to the start of the universe, should have created an equal amount of antimatter and matter. However, the observation of the violation of CP-symmetry by Chien Shiung Wu and the basis of Baryon asymmetry shows that there is more matter than antimatter. This does not make sense; something must have tip these balances. This action is known as baryogenesis. Credit and found: https://www.google.com/url?sa=...
