Lol.

I'm grumpy when I get home from work after working 22 days straight and still having four days to go before my "weekend" starts.

You seem grumpy most of the time.

That's some work schedule. Well, if you change your mind, I was just curious what someone who is actually in the field, and whom I could ask, is curious about, even if it's just a few-word response (eg, heterotic string theory or whatever). I hope your "weekend" is sufficiently restorative.

That's Astner.

I'm currently a consultant, and not a professional physicist. Though I do know my group theory and discrete geometry, so I can read—and understand—pretty much any modern physics journal.

As of what I think. I currently don't have much time to think about things outside of work, and I also spend a lot of time on writing and designing digital art for my graphic novel.

However, the last thing I read up on was on supergravity of arbitrary orders, which basically boiled down to that it's possible to express the Kälher potential and superpotential with a single function.

Either way, there's a ton of interesting phenomena and relations that I think you guys might be interested in ranging from the influence of the expansion of the universe on the strong- and weak force, to black holes and neutron starts, to other cool quantum mechanic effects. But if I start writing about it I'll get more and more questions, and I'd rather do other shit than answering them.

What other shit do you rather do than answering them?

Talk about strippers and porn stars in the discussion thread of the Comic Book 'Versus' Forum?

I don't know, you tell me.

Right?

Well, I asked for it...

Right on.

Can leptons directly touch quarks, rather than only orbit them? I understand that electrons can not, but does this apply to all leptons?

No, neither leptons or quarks can come in direct contact with one another. Though they can interact through gauge bosons.

What kind of spin would a fermion (a hypothetical exotic one) need to be able to interact with both quarks and leptons? Is it possible for any form of fermion to do so?

Would a stable first-generation leptoquark qualify as what I speak of? Would it be able to interact with both nucleons and electrons?

Interact with or interact through? If it's the former than any half integer spin; if it's the latter then a whole integer spin—but that would make the fermion a boson—so no, it's not possible.

Leptoquarks—from quark-lepton complimentary models—are still bosons, and a first generation leptoquarks would quickly decay into one first generation lepton and one first generation quark under normal conditions. So the answer is no.

What about a 3D anyon or plekton?

Anyons—whether described with albelian or non-albelian group theory—can only be expressed in two dimensions, a plekton is actually the generalization of an anyon in higher dimensionality.

Plektons—if they exist—would already have an assigned role in nature which should be expressible with a Poincaré group. So once again, no.

Thank you for your answers so far. You have been invaluable to my works. Now to ask you a very radical, physics-defying question that I am unsure whether or not you would be interested in answering. If so, thank you, but if not, I understand the immaturity of the question.

How would the physics of a Green Lantern Ring work? What possible particle (real or hypothetical) would a Lantern energy construct consist of? Would it be a fermion, boson, or tachyon, or something else?

/smh

I have an imagination. Sue me.
