Why the Weak Force’s Left-Handed Bias Still Shapes the Universe
A new explainer revisits one of physics’ strangest asymmetries: the weak nuclear force only interacts with left-handed particles, a quirk that helps make radioactive decay, fusion, and stars possible.
Key Takeaways
- The weak nuclear force is described as interacting only with left-handed particles.
- The source ties beta decay to the conversion of a neutron into a proton via quark change.
