Q hypothesis

The Q hypothesis is a scientific idea suggesting that there's a special, mysterious particle or entity called "Q" that interacts weakly with matter and might be responsible for certain unresolved phenomena in physics, such as dark matter or quantum effects. It proposes that "Q" could be fundamental to understanding how the universe behaves at very small scales or under extreme conditions. While still hypothetical, exploring the Q hypothesis helps physicists develop models to explain parts of the universe that current theories can't fully describe, advancing our overall understanding of fundamental physics.
