...40 years after a Soviet nuclear physicist proposed an outlandish theory that trios of particles can arrange themselves in an infinite nesting-doll configuration, experimentalists have reported strong evidence that this bizarre state of matter is real.
...
While most forces act between pairs, such as the north and south poles of a magnet or a planet and its sun, Efimov identified an effect that requires three components to spring into action. Together, the components form a state of matter similar to Borromean rings, an ancient symbol of three interconnected circles in which no two are directly linked. The so-called Efimov trimer could consist of a trio of protons, a triatomic molecule or any other set of three particles, as long as their properties were tuned to the right values. And in a surprising flourish, this hypothetical state of matter exhibited an unheard-of feature: the ability to range in size from practically infinitesimal to infinite.
...
Efimov had shown that when three particles come together, a special confluence of their forces creates the Borromean rings effect: Though one is not enough, the effects of two particles can conspire to bind a third. The nesting-doll feature called discrete scale invariance arose from a symmetry in the equation describing the forces between three particles. If the particles satisfied the equation when spaced a certain distance apart, then the same particles spaced 22.7 times farther apart were also a solution. This number, called a scaling factor, emerged from the mathematics as inexplicably as pi, the ratio between a circles circumference and diameter.
...
Eight years later, the competition to observe a series of Efimov states has ended in a photo finish. What you see is three groups, in three different countries, reporting these multiple Efimov states all within about one month,

The trinity is fundamental physics?
Thank you for posting these links.
Very nice.

Hmmmm, G-d, Torah, and the Jewish people. I see it too!
Borromean rings...
My wedding ring is made that way, one white gold, one rose gold and a yellar.
Janitor: (Answering question) The answer is minus eight pi alpha.
Sheldon: Hang on a second, that's not our answer. What are you doing?
Janitor: Answering question, winning Physics Bowl.
Sheldon: How do you know anything about physics?
Janitor: Here, I am janitor. In former Soviet Union, I am physicist. Leningrad Politechnika. Go Polar Bears!
Much of what gets mistakenly called ‘science’ is well related to such pagan ignorance.
Back in my paramedic days cardiac arrest calls seemed to go in threes and old timers back home always said deaths in the community would be in threes. Both seemed to be generally true.
Trinity is a strictly human construct.
Zathras already prove value of Three ... and The One.
Borromean Rings.................
Yep!
The Trinity could very possibly be embedded in physics; read the first chapter of Romans — it very clearly states that God shows Himself in and through creation.
Oh it’s very simple. It just proves that there is indeed, no explanation for liberalism.
So if a multi-thousand year old culture isn’t your version of Christian, then the entire history their study of science and the natural world is bogus.
M’kay. Thanks for the clarity.
