Wandering Meteor

This miraculous weapon is called by scientists as "Quark Decoherence"!

As the name implies, it’s capable of disintegrating quarks and is a new type of weapon based on the principles of laws, inspired by the Absolute Zero Domain.

Because of the special structure of quarks, quarks cannot exist independently in the universe, but always combine to form hadrons (which include protons and neutrons). This is also why, after a neutron star collapses into a quark star, it quickly transforms into a black hole.

Hence, scientists speculate that quarks have a peculiar habit or characteristic, which is the quark confinement phenomenon.

Simply put, quarks can only exist stably inside hadrons when they form hadrons. They cannot exist stably on their own in the outside world. This phenomenon, where they can only exist within hadrons, is like a cloistered maiden unwilling to step outside, and thus it is called quark confinement.

Another reason for quark confinement is one of the Four Basic Forces: the Strong Nuclear Force.

It’s the Strong Nuclear Force that tightly binds the various quarks together to form hadrons.

The Strong Nuclear Force is the strongest among the Four Basic Forces. In atomic nuclei, protons and neutrons are already so firmly bound by just the tail end of the Strong Nuclear Force that it requires the energy of nuclear fusion to separate them. Hence, one can only imagine what terrifying amount of energy is needed to separate quarks that are completely bound by the Strong Nuclear Force?

However, the messenger particle for the Strong Nuclear Force is the gluon, and like photons, gluons have no rest mass and a spin of 1.
