Helical Vectors
In my last post I showed how the angle of interconnected triplet of dots can be increased to introduce twist into an ordered origami....

A Twisted Origami
I thought I was writing a completely different post for today, but I ended up writing about the origami folding of the Higgs boson. The...

Twisting with Vectors
Inspired by my last post that showed the geometry of pseudo-twisting, I decided to apply it to actual twisting of helices. And as I...

Building the Higgs Boson One Vector at a Time
In my last post I made the statement that I should be able to come up with the shape of the Higgs boson, just using linear algebra and...

The Higgs Helix and the Entangled Mass
Inspired upon my previous post that described the general spinless shape of the Higgs boson, I started thinking about the nature of mass....

What’s so Special about the Higgs Boson?
In today’s post I’m struggling with four kinds of helices. With helices that depict the location of dots, with helices that depict their...

Why Spin?
In today’s post I ask the question “why there is spin”? While I already have an intuitive feeling about the answer, I don’t yet know how...

The Spin of a Quark
Today’s post is my first attempt at understanding spin, so bear with me if I make mistakes. On the other hand, it just might be that most...

A Tight Quark
My post for today will again be a short one. Based on my last post’s realization that the extra mass in a proton must come from the...

Stretch a String to Increase its Mass
In my last post I proposed a structure for a proton just before it splits into quarks. This structure is topologically reasonable, but it...

Quark with A Twist
I’ll keep today’s post short. Not because I don’t have a lot of ideas, but because I know that to write a long post, I’d need to prepare...

Of Mass and Charge
In my last post I presented a rough guess on the structure of quarks. I also showed an illustration of the quarks in proton, just before...

Oh Quark!
After my cool-looking guess with helium, I realized that I cannot progress in understanding the nature of the nuclear bond without...

Is This Helium?
In today’s post I backtrack on my helium hypothesis. I had entertained a year ago the idea that helium is formed when two deuterium atoms...

The Nature of the Nuclear Bond
At the moment I’m struggling with an almost existential question: whether to go deeper into the nature of complex atoms or not. I have at...

What is an Atom?
After showing a rather convincing (to myself) model of a water vapor donut-tube and introducing the notion of stretching and compressing...

Size Matters
After my last post on the nanotubular nature of water vapor in plants I was thinking about both the nature of the hydrogen bond and the...

The Vapor Tube
Today I decided to show you a mostly cosmetic update on my water vapor nanotube post . The major reason for this is that my last post had...
