Question

Is a new theory of light and matter needed to explain what happens at very high energies and temperatures? Please answer the problem with graphical representations or statements/facts.

Answer 1

Yes,the theory of light and matter to explain what happens at very high energies and temperatures has been the

holy-grail of modern physics for the last 40-50 years.

The reason is because we are discovering that our universe is not what it superficially appers to be ,i.e., normal

matter is partly 4% of matter/energy density in the universe.The rest of 22% is made up of dark matter/dark energy

The remaining 74% is known as Dark because we have no idea what they are.

Our current physical theories breaks down at extremely high energies & high temperatures.

Einstein worked on this problem until his death with out success & as of now many physicists are working on it as

well,but so far we have not come up with any thing definitive.

The fourth state of matter is plasma/ionized gases which can exist only at very high temperatures.

At very high temperatures,plasma is essentially bare nuclei swimming in a sea of electrons.

In 2015,Brookhaven National Laboratory's Relavistic Heavy Ion collider had made the Guinness world records for

achieving the "Highest Manmade Temperature-a whopping 4 trillion degrees celsius" i.e., 2,50,0000 times

hotter than the center of the sun.

The temperature is achieved but no thories as of now how universe really works.The contenders for working of

universe theories are super string theory,super gravity & Loop quantum gravity,but no theory is definitive as of now.

Hence a new theory of light and matter is needed to explain what happens at very high energies and temperatures.
