Did CERN find a new particle?


"Physicists may have caught a glimpse of the elusive “toponium,” a particle so fleeting and compact it defied expectations of ever being seen. Credit: SciTechDaily.com" (ScitechDaily, A Signal Too Strange to Ignore – And It May Reveal a New Kind of Matter)

"Intriguing signs from CERN hint at a never-before-seen form of matter – one that could be the tiniest particle cluster ever detected." (ScitechDaily, A Signal Too Strange to Ignore – And It May Reveal a New Kind of Matter)

"Top quarks, typically too short-lived to pair up, may have briefly bonded into a mysterious object known as toponium. This unexpected observation challenges assumptions about particle behavior at the LHC and could reshape how physicists explore the quantum frontier." (ScitechDaily, A Signal Too Strange to Ignore – And It May Reveal a New Kind of Matter)

It's possible that the CERN researchers found the mythic Toponium. The Toponium is one of the quarkoniums. "In particle physics, quarkonium (from quark and -onium, pl. quarkonia) is a flavorless meson whose constituents are a heavy quark and its own antiquark, making it both a neutral particle and its own antiparticle. The name "quarkonium" is analogous to positronium, the bound state of electron and anti-electron. The particles are short-lived due to matter-antimatter annihilation." (Wikipedia, quarkonium)

The bound state of the top quark and its antiquark that the strong nuclear force connects together. Normally, in the modern universe, the top quark doesn't have time to create hadrons. 

The top quark is a so high-energy particle. That it doesn't have time to make a bound state with other quarks. 

But in extremely high-energy environments is possible. That the top quark makes bound states with bottom quarks. 

In the very young universe where the energy level was much, much higher, it's possible that the top quarks formed hadrons that do not exist anymore. Today the top quark vaporizes so fast, that it cannot make hadrons in a regular universe. It's possible that the top quark can make hadrons in an environment where the extremely hot quark-gluon soup interacts.

The Hubble tension. 

In the history of the universe. There was an event. That accelerated the universe's expansion. That thing can happen. Because a large number of particles decay or vaporize at a certain point in history. That released lots of energy into the universe. That image is from Scientific American and demonstrates how the universe expanded before the birth of galaxies. 

The thing that can solve the Hubble Tension and cosmology crisis is that the universe spins around the mass center. There is a theory that in the middle of the universe is the hyper-large black hole that formed just after the Big Bang. If that mass center exists the universe can spin around it. Things like the dark flow and dark fluid can support that theory. 

There is the possibility. The new experiments open new visions to the top quark research. The Toponium would be meson there the top quark makes a bound state with its anti-quark. The extremely fast spin keeps those particles away from each other. If that observation about Toponium is true this thing can bring new information about the early universe and particles that are gone when the universe turns colder. In the young universe could be things like material like hadrons that formed other quarks than up and down quarks. 

It's possible that the "super energy hydrogen" could exist in the very early universe. That hypothetical thing formed for example top and bottom quarks and muon. That orbited that thing. Maybe that exotic material exists in the black hole's relativistic jet. But in other places, those particles are gone forever. 

When we think about the Hubble Tension and the lost particles, we can think. The suddenly accelerated expansion of the universe can be caused by some particles releasing energy when they or part of them released energy. When some particles decay that thing causes the fast energy release into the universe.
