what are some trending theories/experiments in physics these days?

how does quark confinement make sense?
>If you pull one quark away from the other in a bond, the gluon bond grows stronger and eventually produces two sets of quarks.

Where is the energy to do this coming from? Isn't this leading to the 'creation' of matter?

E=MC^2 says differently kiddo.

Also trying to divide a quark pair results in more quarks getting generated straight by adding energy and this can be measured. Making it a direct transformation of energy into matter.

This is not even a point of debate.

>could also result from the splitting of quark pairs by dark energy
By you not knowing about this I assume you don't know how quarks work in general. Basically we can never split quarks. If you try to split quarks the energy put into it will be high enough to instead create more quark pairs so you end up with 2 quark pairs if you try to split one up (as seen in my picture). In the big rip scenario dark energy becomes so powerful that is slowly rips everything apart. First galaxies, then the solar system, then the planet, then your body, then your atoms, Then eventually quark pairs. However when a quark pair splits it immediately produces more quark pairs which would result in a big bang like phenomenon
>even time and space itself is just a function of entropy maximizing itself.
Quote from Feynman [Sic]: "The only difference between t=1 and t=2 on a universal scale is that the total entropy has increased, therefor you can define time in terms of entropy, time is merely a function of entropy".
>even time and space itself is just a function of entropy maximizing itself.
Every force in the universe only acts in a way that maximizes entropy. Entropy is the "motive" for the universe to do anything at all. Therefor you could express every force in the universe in thermodynamics. This points towards the big bang happening purely for thermodynamical reasons and not because of some outside force. However we can't really say for sure of course since all data from that time has been scrambled meaning we have 0 data from before the big bang. However by the behavior of thermodynamics and especially entropy it gives a very big hint towards the big bang not being fueled by some outside force/universe or any of that.

>"Dude quarks are totally real even though it's by theory impossible to EVER detect them individually they are real, just trust me bro we have math and stuff. Shhhh don't even try to find them through physical experiments it's impossible, they are real though just trust me"

This is the "science" of quantum physics in 2019.

What If I said that the proton is made up of 3 entire universes condensed into balls. You can't see them because you can never separate them and individually observe them. But they totally exist!!! Here is some crackpot math to accompany with it!

FYI, string theory is BS.

We may never know what quarks are made up of because splitting them is very difficult.
The energy that goes into splitting them is converted into a new quark.
