What a Gluon Really Is… And Why It Refuses to Behave

You are 99% energy. Not matter. Energy. The quarks inside your body weigh less than 700 grams. The rest of you is the energy of a particle you've never heard of. A particle with no mass. A particle no one has ever seen. A particle that is permanently locked inside the protons and neutrons of your atoms and can never get out. It's called the gluon. And it breaks every rule in physics. Every other force carrier in the universe is neutral - it transmits a force but doesn't feel it. The gluon is different. It carries the charge of the strong force AND feels that force itself. It pulls on its own kind. It interacts with itself. And because of that single property, it creates the most powerful prison in nature - one that no quark has ever escaped from. Not once. Not in 13.8 billion years. #gluon #particlephysics #strongforce #QCD #quantumphysics #science #physics #spacedocumentary
