“Zeptoverse’: Scientists find evidence of particle decay sought for over 40 years Further research into the Zeptoverse could help find signs of new physics, which the Standard Model cannot explain.”(Interesting Engineering, ‘Zeptoverse’: Scientists find evidence of particle decay sought for over 40 years)
“After a search lasting more than four decades, a Cambridge-led team of physicists has found evidence for the rarest decay of a subatomic ‘beauty’ particle ever seen. The results could open the door to a strange new world known as the zeptoverse, where particles that could help explain mysteries like dark matter and how matter came into existence during the Big Bang may be hiding.” (University of Cambridge, Physicists knock at the door of the zeptoverse)
“The team, working at the upgraded LHCb experiment at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) near Geneva, were studying beauty quarks, exotic cousins of the up and down quarks that make up all atomic matter in the universe.”(University of Cambridge, Physicists knock at the door of the zeptoverse)
“When these beauty particles are created, they live for just one and a half trillionths of a second before they decay. The way they decay can tell us about physics that happens at very short distance scales: trillionths of billionths of a metre.”(University of Cambridge, Physicists knock at the door of the zeptoverse)

Zeptoverse is the smallest structure in the universe. A rare particle decay gave the first signal from that strange world. Zeptoverse is very difficult to detect. Because. All waves. That come from that world are zeptometer-class. That means all other waves cover them. And that is one of the things that we must realize. Maybe. Gravitons hide in the zeptoverse. In some visions, the answer to dark matter and dark energy could be found in that extremely small world. There is a possibility. That there is a ring-shaped structure in quarks or between them.
We could call that structure a zeptometer-class skyrmion. When. Quarks' spin changes direction. They release gluons. Those. Maybe little bit photon-shaped bosons transport. The strong nuclear interaction. Quarks send those bosons outside. But. Sometimes the quark sends gluons also into the middle of them. That can cause. An effect where the gluon or ring-shaped structure starts to focus energy. Into. The middle of it.
If. That structure exists between quarks or inside quarks. It could. Send or collect radiation and transform it into a wavelength. That is hard to detect. The wavelength of that radiation would be very short. That makes it impossible to detect. But. There is a possibility. To see the shadow of that strange world. That world includes things like superstrings.
That ring focuses energy that comes from quarks. And maybe that energy jumps up and down from the center of that zeptometer-class ring. That ring forms so-called quantum low pressure. That can keep the quarks in protons and neutrons. So maybe that kind of structure. That looks like the photon is the thing. That puts electromagnetic, or quantum, fields to travel into that ring. That ring forms a flow. That we see as gravity. That is possible. In some other models, the space between quarks pulls wave movement into them. And that wave movement can be the thing.
That. We call dark energy. But all those models are hypothetical. In some very wild ideas, that ring-shaped, purely hypothetical structure is the thing. That turns matter dark. In that model, that ring is an elementary particle. Energy hits that ring. It collects waves. Into. The middle of it. When the energy level around the particle turns low. That. Increases the energy flow. That energy forms an energy spike. That energy spike stretches the quantum field around the particle. The phenomenon could look like cases. A massive solar flare stretches the Earth's magnetic field. In that case, the stretched quantum field drives electromagnetic radiation past the particle. If. That really happens. That explains dark matter and dark energy.
