Definitions

n.名词 noun
  1. 1

    Physics.

    • : an unobserved massless particle with spin 1 that is believed to transmit the strong force between quarks, binding them together into baryons and mesons.

Examples

  • The procedure doesn’t make much physical sense, as gravitons are not literally pairs of gluons.

  • No one had seen gluons yet, or checked any of the important predictions.

  • An artistic rendering of the quarks and gluons that make up a proton.

  • We associate gravity with the fabric of space-time itself, while gluons move around in space-time.

  • That includes not just their size, but also their mass and the nature of their components — how, for example, the quarks and gluons that make them up are sprinkled around inside.
