DIY Paul Ion (Particle) Trap [oc] ( i.imgur.com )
The two hemispheres are electrically connected to each other and to an AC power supply, the ring is connected to the same AC supply but 180 degrees out of phase. Particles are charged and then injected into the trap, they are then alternately attracted to the ring and hemispheres causing them to oscillate and become trapped! As...

A question about gravity
Is it possible to determine the percentage of the gravitational force at a specified distance using only the geometry of the planet?...
Where do particles come from? - Sixty Symbols ( www.youtube.com )
I must admit that the details of how the fields are coupled went over my head, but I found the rest of the video quite accessible. Professor Copeland is a joy to listen to, and Brady asks great questions as usual....
Do particles get mass from the higgs field by moving through a higher dimension?
So, I watched The Higgs Field, explained - Don Lincoln and there it explains that particles are massless and it is only through their interaction with the Higg's field that they gain mass. However, how are they "moving" through the Higg's field? Is it through a movement in the 3rd dimension or a dimension above?...
