Made this meme while studying CP violation in weak interactions... weak force why cant you be normal?? :cry:

Are you kidding? The strong force depends on colours and increases with the distance, how is it not the derpy one?
The weak interaction is just electromagnetism if the photons had mass (and broke CP and flavour simmetry, yeah).
I mean, increasing with distance isn't that bad, since it only increases upto a point and goes out of range.
I like that its analogous with springs and all, which also increases force with distance from mean position
Color is just a word for a quantum property, not actual color.
Look man, the more I hear this argument the more I want to get into a Ph D program to figure out a better way to describe how fucking weird the Strong force is.
Sure, it "increases with distance" but the amount of energy you put in separating two particles bound by the strong force increases the probability of creating a new particle from the vacuum and then that distance snaps instantly. It has a practical limit if it is within the bounds of spacetime.
Edit: sorry I hit save before I finished
So not only is it special strong, if we define it with the only known things we can define anything with, it breaks all sorts of other things. And since the entire universe isn't bound together into one tight strongly held particle possibly means that the only reason the universe exists at all is because defining the strong force forced particles out of nothing.
Please do! Us physics enthusiasts laymen need ANSWERS ! :D
fair point, but at least it doesnt break so many symmetries
strong is like the cool hippie brother
What do you mean by color?
"Colour charge", which has nothing to do with colors though. Its like electric charge but instead of two opposite(called posotive and negative), it hace three "colours" which obeys R+G+B=colourless(white) just lije positive+negative equal zero
There are still opposite charges - each colour has an 'anti'-colour. So R+~~R~~=colourless G+~~G~~=colourless etc. This is how mesons work (pairs of quarks). Baryons are triplets of quarks but there are also combined tetra- and pentaquark states also.
You can think of anti-red as being cyan etc. but the colour theory can be more confusing than it's worth.
Yeah but aren't they the antimatter version of thoose colour charges? Didn't mention it for that reason but yeah mesons
