Italian should have shared Nobel physics prize: colleagues
October 8th, 2008Top Italian physicists say their colleague Nicola Cabibbo should have shared the Nobel Physics Prize with the American and two Japanese scientists who won the 2008 honour, Italian media said Wednesday.

I want to express my sympathy to mr. Cabibbo since this is a great unfairness towards his contribution to the science. And I want to express my disgust toward the Nobel prize jury who once again proved my opinion for them. An absolute mafia.

Therefore, my private feeling of the whole cause is similar. Especially the people, who are using Cabbibo's calculus on per-day basis must be very surprised by decision of Nobel jury. The scientific history has placed Mr. Cabibbo firmly aside to Cobayashi and Maskawa's names already.

In addition, even at the case, such matrix would remain unitary, it still doesn't prohibit the presence of higher quark generation, it would just mean, this generation cannot couple to other families, for example. But this is just an wild speculation.

The formation of three generations arises from fact, the most compact packing of hypersphere particles occurs just for 3D hyperspheres (a Kepler's conjecture) and the 3D hyperspheres are packed in tetraedric symmetry with the right angles in it. Therefore the formation of 3D structures is heavily pronounced in it and during nested condensation of particle system we can experience the formation of spherical clusters of three different size levels.

We can approximate the vorticity of dense fluid by motion of their particles along surface of nested spirals.

For example, the picture bellow illustrates the environment motion for electron by using of knot model:

The point is, every particle can be composed of pieces of spiral loops of 1/3 or 2/3 total length, which are having three different curvature radii at their ends, like from pieces of LEGO.
These pieces cannot exist in their free state apparently and they're representing six quarks of 1/3 or 2/3 charge (the another six antiquarks can formed by spiral pieces of the left-handed helicity). The animation bellow illustrates the composition of proton and neutron pair from six 2/3 up- and down- quarks, for example.

The quarks triplets can be arranged into table (so called the CKM matrix), which describes the probability, by which quark pieces can be merged mutually with their neighbouring members in complex coordinate space.

This gives up to nine possible combinations, corresponding the number of possible binding particles (i.e. gluon) types. The point is, these probabilities are characteristic for each quark combination and as such they doesn't depend very much on resulting particle type - so that the CKM matrix can be used for effective prediction of particles properties, their stability in particular.
