I’ve seen a documentary about neutron stars, saying they have an electroweak core “where quarks burn”. It’s also to my understanding that these forces were merged in the instants after the Big Bang. So assuming pockets of electroweak exist, how do they work?
In: Physics
Electroweak force exists everywhere. It only matters in certain nuclear reactions though, where it can transform protons to neutron or vice versa (by converting quark types).
The most common occurence on earth are Beta-decaying radioactive materials.
