Notes

1

A self-similar geometrical figure, each part of which has the same properties as the whole.

2

A pattern in a phase space toward which a nonlinear dynamical system tends to evolve.

3

Multidimensional physical object located in a higher-dimensional space. Branes are analogous to the strings of string theory.

4

In quantum theories, a Hamiltonian is an operator corresponding to the total energy of the system.

5

An elementary subatomic particle – a fundamental constituent of matter.

6

Particles with integer spin following Bose–Einstein statistics. Examples of bosons include fundamental particles such as photons (quanta of light).

7

Subatomic particles that are composed of quarks and interact by the “strong” force. Examples of hadrons include protons and neutrons.

8

Elementary particle predicted by Peter Higgs and responsible for the mass of other elementary particles.

9

A function describing the evolution of a dynamical system.

10

A family of elementary particles. Baryons include protons and neutrons, for example.

11

One of the physical quantities characterizing the electrical properties of the system.

12

Elementary particles responsible for the interaction between quarks in quantum chromodynamics.

13

Quark-gluon plasma is a state of strongly interacting matter in which quarks and gluons form a continuous medium and can propagate in it as quasi-free particles.

14

The point at which a mathematical function strives toward infinity or has certain other behavioral irregularities.

15

Fermions are particles with a half-integral spin value, obeying Fermi-Dirac statistics.

16

Goldstone bosons are particles that, in quantum field theory, appear during spontaneous symmetry breaking.

17

A quasiparticle corresponding to a quantum of spin waves in magnetically ordered systems (for example, in permanent magnets).

18

A quasiparticle corresponding to the quantum of vibrational motion of the atoms of a crystal.

19

A flavor is the common name for a series of quantum numbers characterizing a type of quark. Many of their features do not yet have an explanation.

20

Elementary particles of the hadron family.

21

A synapse is the place of contact between the nerve cells through which nerve impulses are transmitted.

22

The structural elements of neural cells.

23

“I perceive that I perceive.”

24

Yes (Thai).
