Long-Sought Exotic Particle of Pure Force Detected --"Key Prediction of the Standard Model"

Scientists at TU Wien (Vienna) have calculated that the meson f0(1710) could be a very special particle -- the long-sought-after glueball, a particle composed of pure force. The prediction that glueballs exist is one of the most important of the Standard Model of particle physics that has not yet been confirmed experimentally.

For decades, scientists have been looking for so-called "glueballs". Now it seems they have been found at last. A glueball is an exotic particle, made up entirely of gluons -- the "sticky" particles that keep nuclear particles together. Glueballs are unstable and can only be detected indirectly, by analyzing their decay. This decay process, however, is not yet fully understood.

Professor Anton Rebhan and Frederic BrÃ¼nner from TU Wien (Vienna) have employed a new theoretical approach to calculate glueball decay. Their results agree extremely well with data from particle accelerator experiments. This is strong evidence that a resonance called "f0(1710)", which has been found in various experiments, is in fact the long-sought glueball. Further experimental results are to be expected in the next few months.

Protons and neutrons consist of even smaller elementary particles called quarks. These quarks are bound together by strong nuclear force...

Gluons can be seen as more complicated versions of the photon. The massless photons are responsible for the forces of electromagnetism, while eight different kinds of gluons play a similar role for the strong nuclear force. However, there is one important difference: gluons themselves are subject to their own force, photons are not. This is why there are no bound states of photons, but a particle that consists only of bound gluons, of pure nuclear force, is in fact possible.

This "way out science" is actually mystical pantheism, or creation (matter) worship.

As Robert Jastrow (b. 1925), recipient of NASA's Medal for Exceptional Studies explains, there are only two possible explanations for the origin of life: creation or the Creator of creation.

"...science has no...answer to the question of the origin of life on earth. Perhaps (life) is a miracle. Scientists are reluctant to accept that view, but their choices are limited: either life was created...by the will of a being outside...scientific understanding, or it evolved...spontaneously through chemical reactions...in nonliving matter...The first theory...is a statement of faith in the power of a Supreme Being not subject to the laws of science. The second theory is also an act of faith (which assumes) that the scientific view...is correct, without having concrete evidence to support that belief." (Until the Sun Dies, Jastrow, 1977, pp. 62-63)

Though Western civilization was founded on the Biblical (Genesis account) creation ex nihilo model it has rejected its' own worldview presuppositions in favor of scientific faith, meaning creation worship and/or metaphysical materialism and evolution:

"An age of science is necessarily an age of materialism," declared Hugh Elliot early last century, "Ours is a scientific age, and it may be said with truth that we are all materialists now." (Darwin Day in America, John G. West, xiv)

Materialist faith has virtually displaced America's founding Biblical-based worldview with the result that dehumanizing materialism is now the operative assumption for much of our government, culture, politics, and law.

Materialism belongs to the family of naturalism, which refers to the view that nature (or matter) is the Ultimate Substance of which the universe and all life consist, thus "all is one." C. S. Lewis describes naturalism as a box with its top sealed tightly closed in order to keep out the Holy Trinity and the supernatural realm.

The ancient Babylonians (ChaIdeans), Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, Aztecs and Hindus are for example, naturalists. In this view there is but one realm (the material or natural) as opposed to the orthodox Biblical creation model with its two interacting realms: natural and supernatural. Though they differ, both kinds of naturalism are united by their rejection of the transcendent, personal Holy God and the supernatural realm and by their acceptance of some form of evolution, which serves as an impersonal, mechanical process of development.

There are two basic kinds of naturalism: materialism (i.e., Secular Humanism; Dialectical Materialism) and mystical pantheism (i.e., Hinduism, Theosophy, and New Age). The two kinds differ chiefly about whether the First Cause or Absolute Substance is nonliving, non-intelligence bearing matter (i.e., chemicals) in motion within the Void or an unknowing, unknowable, amoral mind (psychic matter) emanating from the Void or Abyss from which binding energy of life/thought (a life/mind force) reaches the solar system thence man in which life/self-consciousness is produced.

In Hindu philosophy for example, including yoga, martial arts, and Indian medicine, this binding life/mind force (psychic matter) is called prana (प्राण, prāṇa). Prana is the Sanskrit word for "life force" or vital principle. Collectively, prana refers to all cosmic energies permeating the Universe on all levels and also includes energies present in inanimate objects. Prana is the prime mover of all activity and is energy which creates, protects and destroys. In the literature, prana is sometimes described as emanating from the Sun (Void/Sirius) in back of the Sun and connecting the elements of the Universe. This life energy has been vividly invoked and described in the ancient Upanishads, the Vedas and as the Force of Star Wars movie fame. (Prana, Wikipedia)

The point of all of this is that the meson fO(1710), or glueball composed of pure force, is prana by another name.
