It is well known you can’t isolate a quark from a hadron because the energy needed is more than that which would produce a new pair of quarks. So as you pull a pair of quarks apart, the force needed increases because the energy you are using is going into creating more matter.

This is why the quark-quark force doesn’t obey the inverse square law. There is a pictorial discussion of this in a few books (I believe it is in “The Left Hand of Creation”, which says the heuristic explanation of why the strong nuclear force gets weaker when quark-quark distance decreases is to do with the interference between the cloud of virtual quarks and gluons surrounding each quark).

Between nucleons, neutrons and protons, the strong force is mediated by pions and simply decreases with increasing distance by the inverse-square law and an exponential term something like exp(-x/d) where x is distance and d = hc/(2.Pi.E) from the uncertainty principle.

I’m trapped in a way of seeing.

The situation in regards to strong force, run contradictory(in relation to strength) to distant measures in gravitational and electromagnetic forces. While the strong force gets weaker as the QQ distance gets shorter, the opposite was true, of the other two forces.

While I had been focused on the cosmo at large, the very beginning had to be included in the standard model. The standard model being complete picture minus gravitational force carrier(?) had to have ways in which to look at the “strength’s and weaknesses of that analogy of the membrane.”

It was just “ways” of looking at a membrane that had me puzzled, while in those abstract spaces, such concepts had to amount to something? “Gaussian coordinates” were simple, as a understanding of that field?

Layman scratching head.

On the other hand, I once had a comment on my student evaluations that I asked too many different kinds of questions, instead of repeating types of problems in order to give the students more practice. You can’t win, I tell you.

This is why quarks have asymptotic freedom: because the strong force and electromagnetic force cancel where the strong force is weak, at around the distance of separation of quarks in hadrons. That’s because of interactions with the virtual particles (fermions, quarks) and the field of gluons around quarks. If the strong nuclear force fell by the inverse square law and by an exponential quenching, then the hadrons would have no volume because the quarks would be on top of one another (the attractive nuclear force is much greater than the electromagnetic force).

Within context of the fundamental forces, understanding certain attributes, in relation to distance, makes this very interesting, when applied to the “unifying of forces” in a global perspective?

For instance, electromagetic and gravitational forces grow stronger at shorter distances, while the strong force, grows weaker. View seen in QQ distances, in regards to strong force.

So idealization about experimentation of the gravitational force, let’s say at shorter distances, becomes interesting perspective and question?

Froma geometrical standpoint Inverse square law becomes applicable.

Also it is Gerard ‘t Hooft not Gerard t’Hooft

The problem of neutral conducting rotating spheres is actually very interesting too, see here.

And congrats, clifford. I love exams that push the taker to do a new calculation and learn something new within the course of the hour. I don’t think anyone got into physics in order to be able to write down the Green’s function for a given differential equation, in and of itself.

When people complain about exams I tell them that according to Socrates, “the unexamined life is not worth living”.
