Word of the Day - Squark

Post by Doreen Peri » December 7th, 2009, 11:02 pm

A squark is a quark with an electric charge of -1/3 and a mass 988 times that of an electron and a strangeness of -1.

No kidding. "A strangeness of -1"

I love the sound of that! It's poetry. ;) What does it mean? I hear layers of meaning in it. It could mean a million things. Just like poetry.

Then reality even at a subatomic level is stranger than fiction.....

Yes. I'd say so! ;)

I am officially rating myself with a strangeness level of -4.

That's three less than a squark.

I'm a subsquark working on squarkdom, trying to boost my energy level with a cuppa joe. Vanilla cappuccino. :P
