  • Strong interaction is really designed as a baryonic thing, leptons have no color charge (which is another way to say that they transform as SU(3) singlets). Leptons do not interact with gluons.
    Not at tree-level anyway. See for example this list of vertices.

    At loop levels, it’s possible to imagine an electron decaying into neutrino+W, then W into two quarks who can then interact with gluons, but as it’s down a couple of orders in perturbation theory so probably much too weak to hold a nucleus together. Not an expert in particle physics so I do not know with certainty whether a couple-of-loops interaction can have a measurable effect.





  • The scifi “dimension” is as meaningless as “plane of existence”

    Does not sound too meaningless to me, but I’m used to calling that a universe 😁

    think about the sentence “the universe is a part of our dimension”

    I’m trying ahah. But if you call the universe a dimension, which subpart of it do you call a universe? The observable universe maybe? I mean it makes sense to say that the observable universe is part of our universe. Still sounds strange the way it is presented by OP.
