[edit] "class" of Hadrons?
The article, Hadron, contains this assertion:
The class of hadrons is further subdivided into three subclasses
Does Physics have a formal classification system like Biology does? Bevo 14:54, 15 Feb 2004 (UTC)
In a sense, the representations of Lie groups provide the formal classification system. --Matt McIrvin 00:34, 1 Oct 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Link change
Link to "Color Force" Might better go to Color charge instead of Quantum Chromodynamics. Thanks, (Jon) Aug 26, 2563
[edit] Not Clear what a Hadron is
I guess that this is due to the intrinsic nature of Hadrons. But a reader can be confuesed. The first paragraph asserts that adrons are not fundamental particle, I would change fundamental with elementary. But the last asserts that hadrons due to confinement are single particle exitation. Maybe a page which explains the difference between single particle excitation and elementary particle would be interesting. I guess that hadrons phylosophically just introduce a new concept. They are neither elemtary nor composed (they cannot be splitted). The fact that they can disappear in other phases of the theory it isn't relvant. It is like saying that ice disappears and melts in water. If you read something like this do you understand anything more about what really is ice? Maybe after you undertsand what ice is it is intersting to notice that it is built up from the same molecules then water. Guess it is very difficult to explain something that we still don't understand deeply. I hope that this observation could help
[edit] Semantics
Not to be confused with hard-ons
[edit] There used to be a computer game called Hadron...
Back in 1980 or 1981, a friend had an amazing video game called Hadron running on his Apple computer. I'm astonished that there seems to be no record of it. The game was obviously named for the atomic particle, even though the atomic particle had nothing to do with the space adventure in 3D. If anyone has ever heard of the game, remembers playing it, or knows how to locate a version that would run on today's PCs, I'd love to see it posted here!
