Скачать или смотреть What Is "Strange Matter" and Could It Destroy Us?

This video is about a hypothetical type of matter called "strange matter" and whether it could pose a threat to Earth. It explains that everything is made of quarks, and while we typically only see "up" and "down" quarks, there are others, including the "strange" quark. The idea is that under extreme pressure, like in the core of a neutron star, a combination of these quarks could form a more stable type of matter than what we're made of. If a small piece of this "strange matter," called a strangelet, were to come to Earth, it could theoretically convert all normal matter into strange matter in a runaway chain reaction, destroying the planet. While this scenario sounds like science fiction, it comes from real physics theories, but whether strange matter actually exists and is stable remains unknown.
