...attempt to bring some order to the unruly world of hadrons, Murray Gell-Mann, a physicist at the California Institute of Technology, proposed the quark theory. All hadrons, said Gell-Mann in 1963, can be composed of two or three quarks or their anti-particles. Quarks come in three "flavors"--up, down and sideways. Down quarks ('d') have an electric charge of -1/3, up quarks ('u') have charge + 2/3. And then there are sideways quarks ('s'). Sideways quarks are used to make "strange" particles, the ones with the long lifetimes, and are said to have "strangeness" 1. All other...
...Gell-Mann's theory, modified so that each quark also comes in three different "colors" (no kidding), proved tremendouly successful. One could then describe every hadron by some quark combination, and every quark combination by an observed hadron. (A proton, for instance, is the combination 'uud.' The neutral K-meson, which has strangeness *1, is the combination...
