Happiness and quantum physics!

The Quantum Rules: How the Laws of Physics Explain Love, Success, and Everyday Life by Kunal K. Das

Yes I thought, file with all those books on how to improve your memory!
Oddly it seems to make sense.
Quantum physics deals with all kinds of states. The most important are the stationary states. The name says it all, once a system is in stationary state it will remain there unless disturbed.
Likewise in life we all seek a level of stability, once achieved we can increase our contentment by altering the boundary conditions.
It takes effort and energy to do this and become happier, if we instead slump we slip to a lower state.

I'll call and raise with another article.

Surprising result shocks scientists studying spin: Findings on how differently sized nuclei respond to spin offer new insight into mechanisms affecting particle production in proton-ion collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC)

Scientists analyzing results of spinning protons striking different sized atomic nuclei at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) found an odd directional preference in the production of neutrons that switches sides as the size of the nuclei increases. The results offer new insight into the mechanisms affecting particle production in these collisions.
