...Eightfold Way. From strangeness, Gell-Mann and Israeli Physicist Yuval Ne'eman progressed to a new theory that Gell-Mann named the "eightfold way" (after the eight ways that Buddhists use to stop pain). It organized the particles into groups of eight or ten members. To fill gaps in his table, he postulated yet unencountered particles. In 1964, his theory was strong]y confirmed by the discovery of a bit of matter that Gell-Mann had previously described: the omega-minus particle...
Probing deeper into the secrets of the atom, Gell-Mann and Physicist George Zweig then independently conceived a trio of basic building blocks out of which all the other particles -and, indeed, all matter-could be constructed. With his usual literary flair, Gell-Mann named these imaginary particles "quarks" (from James Joyce's cryptic line in Finnegans Wake: "Three quarks for Muster Mark!"). Gell-Mann cautioned that quarks might not exist outside his equations, but an Australian researcher recently reported finding them among the debris of atmospheric atoms broken up by cosmic rays (TIME, Sept. 12). Even if quarks...
