Koide formula

Koide formula is a special formula that helps us understand how tiny particles called elementary particles move around in the universe. These particles are really, really small and you can't see them with your eyes or even with a microscope! They are the building blocks of everything in the universe, including you and me.

Now, let's say we have three special particles called muons. These muons are like little magnets that spin around and around, and they make up everything we see in our world. The Koide formula helps us understand how these muons spin around and interact with each other.

The formula shows us that if we add up the masses of two muons and then take the square root, and then add that to the mass of a third muon and take the square root, we get a special number. That number is really important because it tells us how these tiny muons move around in space and time.

Scientists have been studying this formula for a long time to try and figure out how to fully understand the elementary particles in our universe. It's a really important tool for helping us learn more about how the universe works, and it's fascinating to learn about!
