The most advanced ones accelerate particles 99.9999% the speed of light. Although some people have claimed that they create black holes, they most certainly do not- this would require ten trillion times the energy available.

What is a theory in science for kids?

The particle theory is a good theory that's sort of simple to understand. The particle theory consists of five parts. 1) All matter is made up of small particles 2) The particles are attracted to each other. 3) Particles are always moving. 4)When heated, particles move faster and move farther apart. 5) There are spaces between each particle.


How is a particle accelerator used to synthesize new elements?

they move atomic nuclei faster and faster until they have reached very high speeds


What is matter with slow moving particles?

Please clarify what you mean by slow-moving air. Do you mean an air mass that is moving slowly, or a gas particle that is moving slowly? If you mean the latter, perhaps this answers your question: for a given temperature, gas particles with less mass move faster than gas particles with greater mass. Additionally, for a given species, a lower temperature corresponds to lower particle velocity, with absolute zero corresponding to no movement whatsoever.


What is tachyon travel?

Well, tachyons are particles that travel faster than the speed of light. Travel could be referring to how they move across the universe (if they exist) or somehow splitting a object down to the atoms and attaching it to a tachyon particle and sending it through space and time.


What are the 3 fastest things on the earth?

According to modern science, it seems that nothing can move faster than light in a vacuum. However, some things can move as fast as light (or electromagnetic waves). Specifically, gravity waves (carried by hypothetical gravitons) are also expected to move at the speed of light. Neutrinos move very, very close to the speed of light, so do some of the particles from outer space known as "cosmic rays".

What machine is capable of making particles move very fast?

A particle accelerator is used to make particles travel very fast using magnetic waves. The particles are then collided with other particles to see what happens.

Does a particle accelerator used to accelerate particles at high speeds until the particles fuse together and create a new element?

A particle accelerator used to accelerate particles at high speeds will not fuse together and create a new element. The particle accelerator uses electromagnetic fields to move charged particles and contain them in well defined beams.

How the particle look like in gas?

In a gas particles are spread out so much that they are independent. The particles move fast.

Do particles move move half as fast if doubled the mass of the particle?

No, remember Newton's Law E=MV2. So a particle with the same energy with double the mass would move 1/4 the speed.


Does the particle's size make the particle movement go slow or fast?

Well, if in a gas you have a mixture of heavier and lighter particles (atoms or molecules, really), the lighter particles will tend to move faster than the heavier particles. The general tendency is for any such particle to have the same energy (mainly kinetic energy). Similarly, in a liquid solution, lighter particles will tend to move faster.


Does a solid have a particle speed?

it depends on how fast you pour a liquid eg: your puring a glass of water down the sink and you pure it drop drop by drop that is slow or your puring lots down at once. basicaly it depends on how fast you are puring


What are the types of particle transport how particles move into and out of the cell?

The types of particle transport mechanisms by which particles move into and out of the cell are diffusion, osmosis, and active transport.
