Topic: Particle Physics
"When electrons are fired at protons and neutrons, some almost pass straight through, while others are deflected through large angles. This is known as deep elastic scattering. Inelastic because the electrons lose kinetic energy, which is converted to short lived particles in the collision)."
Why do the particles live for the duration that they live? If they disappear, where do they go to? Isn't mass supposed to be conserved? Since E=MC²?
If E=MC², then what about the C² part? Is the particle or M vibrating at the speed of light²?
Why are they converted into short-lived particles? Where do these particles even come from? There has to be a place of their origin. What property of the electrons causes these short-lived particles? Is there a way of preserving them? And if so, how so? Is it like the electrons being like a cookie broken into bits? What impact does it have on space-time? What are it's properties? If it's origins is owing to the collided electrons then it must share some of the same properties as them?
