Heeeey, I actually got that joke!! Big Grin

What about the color force?
Well look at that, since when do you quantum physics? Smile

There is a bit of a nomenclature problem..  I usually mean the color force when I say strong force, but strong force could also refer to the one mediated by the exchange of pions, i.e. of compositr particles. The former holds the quarks together to form protons neutrons, pions etc, the latter binds the protons and neutrons to atomic nuclei.

Have you heard of the elusive and rare pistachio subatomic particle.

My old particle physics teacher actually called the electroweak interactions with quarks leptons and neutrinos "quantum flavour dynamics".
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
