Hmm, this seems self contradictory. Quasiparticles are just bookkeeping, so I don't see how you would be interested in them if you are not looking for book keeping.BiGyElLoWhAt said:I'm less looking for the book keeping, and more in the context of what I actually just pulled up on google searching for unrelated things: the Holon.

BiGyElLoWhAt said:When I created this thread earlier, I wasn't sure exactly what I was looking for, so apologies for not being clearer.
BiGyElLoWhAt said:I've heard people saying things like charge isn't real, but the suceptibility to a force is definitely real. Whatever charge actually is, or rather, what causes it, we know that electrons have it and neutrons don't. Any references to papers or web pages or anything on this?
Thanks.
P.s. Electric charge, or color charge. preferably both =]
Well take leptons for instance, specifically (as an example) electrons and neutrinos. Both considered fundamental, yet one contains this property, and another doesn't. How can charge be an intrinsic property if some "objects" or "things" display the property, while others don't? Is there anything on this? I found holon's, but apparently they're akin to virtual particles or something similar?Vanadium 50 said:I'm still not sure what your question is.
Electric and color charge are fundamental properties of particles that determine how they interact with each other. Electric charge is responsible for interactions between particles through the electromagnetic force, while color charge is responsible for interactions between particles through the strong nuclear force.
Electric charge is measured in units of coulombs, while color charge is measured in units of strong interaction strength. These charges can be measured using various experimental techniques, such as particle accelerators or scattering experiments.
There are two types of electric charge - positive and negative. Color charge, on the other hand, comes in three different types - red, green, and blue. These different types of color charge can combine to form neutral particles, such as protons and neutrons.
Electric charge interacts with other electric charges through the electromagnetic force, which can either attract or repel each other. Color charge interacts with other color charges through the strong nuclear force, which is responsible for holding the nuclei of atoms together.
Understanding electric and color charge is essential for many fields, such as particle physics, chemistry, and engineering. It allows us to understand and manipulate the fundamental forces that govern the universe and develop new technologies, such as particle accelerators and medical imaging devices.
