Peter Schweitzer, a theoretical physicist, has spent his career exploring the energy-momentum tensor of the proton, essential for understanding its properties. In the 1960s, it seemed impossible to uncover this tensor without graviton scattering, which is practically undetectable due to gravity’s extreme weakness. However, recent research by Xiangdong Ji and Maxim Polyakov revealed a way […]
