Japan’s second goal against Spain was one of many disputes that the arbitration left with VAR (video assistant referee). The physicist and engineer, who gained fame on social media for his explanatory videos, used “FAR” to explain the reasons why a Japanese target is a perfectly valid action.
This is Dr. Particle Physics, Javier Santaolalla. Through his TikTok account, where he has 39 million followers and over 140 million likes, this 40-year-old has resorted to FAR, which is nothing more than physics-based arbitrage.
Santaolalla analyzed one of the most controversial moments of the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, namely the second goal against Japan. Spain, where several images show an aircraft showing the ball completely behind the baseline.
The reason why the ball does not come out completely, although it seems that it does, is due to the principle of quantum physics, according to which the electron gains energy and increases the size of the atom.
“This happens when a photon (a particle of light) reaches an atom and is absorbed by one of the electrons at a low energy level, causing it to absorb that energy and quantum leap to a higher level,” he said.
As explained, in Japan’s goal, the atoms don’t seem to touch the bottom line. However, the moment this happens, the photon has triggered an electron, and it reaches a higher level where the size of the atom increases and the ball touches the line.
“Japan’s goal is scientific, quantum and physically sound. This is what FAR declares, physics-based arbitration,” he concluded.
The action of Japan’s second goal caused much doubt and heavy criticism of the refereeing. With this score, the Japanese defeated the Spaniards and took first place in the group, leaving Germany behind.
Javier Santaolalla is known in the scientific community for his work at the National Center for Space Research in France, Ciemat and the European Organization for Nuclear Research, where he was part of the group that discovered the Higgs boson.
On social media like YouTube and TikTok, this young physicist and engineer tries to explain these complex theories with simple everyday examples.
