Golden doublet
Golden doublet is a term used in various fields, including mathematics, physics, and gemology, to describe a pair of related entities. The term originates from the Latin duplex, meaning "double". In each field, the specifics of what constitutes a golden doublet can vary, but the common thread is the idea of two things that are closely linked or paired.
Mathematics[edit | edit source]
In mathematics, a golden doublet refers to a pair of real numbers that are solutions to a particular type of quadratic equation. Specifically, the equation must be of the form ax² + bx + c = 0, where a, b, and c are real numbers, and the solutions are given by the quadratic formula.
Physics[edit | edit source]
In physics, a golden doublet is a pair of elementary particles that are related by certain symmetry properties. These properties can include charge conjugation, parity, and time reversal symmetry. The concept of a golden doublet is particularly important in the study of particle physics and quantum mechanics.
Gemology[edit | edit source]
In gemology, a golden doublet is a type of gemstone that is composed of two pieces. The bottom piece is typically a colored gemstone, while the top piece is a layer of clear material, often quartz or glass. The clear layer protects the colored gemstone and enhances its appearance.
