The Quark Phenomena

Quarks are well….errr…quirky.  What is a quark?  A quark is a fundamental particle that actually makes up a larger neutron or proton.  Maybe it will be easier to break it down from large to small.

Let’s take water.  Water has the atomic makeup of H2O, I think most people know that.  H stands for Hydrogen and O stands for Oxygen.    Most of us learned in chemistry that water is made up of two Hydrogen atoms and one Oxygen atom.  That is really small, but let’s go smaller

Take  Hydrogen for an example.  Hydrogen is the simplest naturally occurring atom.  Hydrogen is made up of smaller particles.  It has three parts, one electron, one proton, and one neutron.  But wait there is more.

All three of these break down into even smaller parts.  Protons and Neutrons both break down into a set of particles known as quarks.   Electrons break down into Leptons.  You can find out more about Leptons here at Wikipedia.

So we finally made it to quarks.  Are you still with me because this is when it gets really fun.  Quarks are made up of 6 different states called flavors.  Basically there are the Spin Up flavors consisting of Up, Charm, and Top, and Spin Down flavors consisting of Down, Strange, and Bottom.  I say that there are Spin Up and Spin Down because the rest occur for only a very short time and do not really occur naturally.  Charm and Top states quickly decay to Up, and Strange and Bottom states quickly decay to down.

Naturally occurring Quarks are only either Spin Up or Spin Down.  Whew, that is a lot of information.  Now you know where Quarks come from.  But there is one more thing.  Quarks are made up of fractional electric charge.  This is not possible in today’s physics so Quarks must exist in pairs.

Each Quark pair must have one Spin Up and one Spin Down so that the Universe is stable.  Our Universe is actually very simple.  Everything balances out.   This is where you come in.

Lets do a little thought experiment.  From what I told you each Quark has a match, one Up and one Down.  It is possible for one to change from Up to Down, but that means that the other has to change instantly from Down to Up.  Hummm.   Interesting.  If they are right next to each other that would be easy to observe and have happen.  But to the Universe distances on the earth are incredibly small.  So lets put one Quark in Los Angeles and one in New York.  They still have to have opposite spins to coexist.  If one changes from Spin Up to Spin Down the other has to instantaneously change from Spin Down to Spin Up.  Hummm even more interesting.  How do they do this?  Do they communicate?  Do they just know what to do?  How do they do this faster than the speed of light?

They are connected, and this is how it relates to you.  There is a connection there that humans have been trying to discover for a long time.  But it is not just scientists who are trying to discover the relationship.  It is the priests, and rabbis, the mystics, the Buddhists, and all religious and spiritual people.

There is a connection and I think of it as energy.  There is an energy connection to these two Quarks that tell each other what to do.  Your brain has this ability also.  Your brain has the ability to tap into this same energy.  The same warmth energy you feel on your face from the sun.  The same energy you feel when you are excited and you do your happy dance.  The same energy that the rich use to get richer.  That the chick magnet uses to get more chicks.  The same energy that enlightened people tap into to become calm and happy.

The question becomes how do I tap into that energy?  The first step is knowing that it is there.

Start by discovering and believing this concept.  A thought in your brain begins with a connection of two neurons and grows from there.  The stronger the thought or belief the more connections are made.  These connections are electric by definition.  This electricity gives off energy.  That energy goes out into the Universe.

It is very difficult to achieve great success by ourselves.  I know I have tried to do it.  Everyone needs a good team.  Somewhere out there the energy you give off is received by someone.  Concentrate on that energy, it is the first step of creating something with only your mind.

I know it sounds creepy at first but this energy you give off in your mind is instantly transmitted.  There is someone, or something out there that receives your signals.  The more you concentrate on this energy that your thoughts are producing the stronger the signal, the quicker you will manifest what it is that you are concentrating on.

For more information on these phenomena check out the Wikipedia Articles.  They are all quite accurate in their descriptions.
