World Domination (Part II)

Hey, Dernhelm, I thought I'd be really nice, so I bought you a pony...and some jedi... and I brought you some money too... NOthing suspicious of couse....( MUHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH) Oh did I say that out loud...:
 
I think that the money is really disguised charges of XBoom, a powerful explosive, and the jedi are planning to assassinate her if the XBoom doesn't do the trick.

I thought there was something to do with color and quarks, too...

So do they have a name for this mysterious force which increases with distance?

I know it's carried by gluons (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gluon) – I'm not sure of the name of the force itself. And yes, quarks don't have real colours, obviously, but the property they have called colour...Asmov explains it as analogous to (real) colour, in that quarks can only combine in ways that produce 'white'. From Wikipedia:
Color confinement, often called just confinement, is the physics phenomenon that color charged particles (such as quarks) cannot be isolated. The quarks are confined with other quarks by the strong interaction [force] to form pairs or triplets so that the net color is neutral. The force between quarks increases as the distance between them increases, so no quarks can be found individually.

This page is quite interesting. :D

LoL, I believe it was called the 'charm' quark because it lasted longer than expected before decaying...so it was – uh, 'charmed'? I'm not quite sure of that, though.




DaughterofGondor, I thank you heartily, but I must refuse your kind offer. ;)
 
I'm assuming that the force between quarks must be established before it can come into play. After all, if it existed automatically between all quarks, then there would be no separation of matter in the universe, because all the quarks would have come smashing together long ago. And as the universe is supposedly expanding rather than compressing, the quarks must not be pulling on each other.

Perhaps, as LoL doesn't know what leptons are – would you consider trading E. Russia for all existing leptons? *evil grin*

NARF! Me want Eastern Russia...o_O

*Clones Jedi DoG sent him* MUWAHAHAHAA! Yesss, an army of clone Jedi at my disposal...*Sends clones into Eastern Russia and shortly after several large explosions are heard...*:D

*looks at the very INNOCENT looking DoG* Right. I'll believe that...when pigs fly...

(Hey, her initials spell dog! I wonder if that's better or worse than mine...laugh out loud...):p
 
Well, GKoN, I will trade you E. Russia for all the leptons. :D

Well, it doesn't occur between all quarks – which is why that doesn't happen, I think.

Wikipedia said:
Since quarks are fermions, the Pauli exclusion principle implies that the three valence quarks must be in an antisymmetric combination in a baryon. However, the charge Q = 2 baryon, Δ++ (which is one of four isospin Iz = 3/2 baryons) can only be made of three u quarks with parallel spins. Since this configuration is symmetric under interchange of the quarks, it implies that there exists another internal quantum number, which would then make the combination antisymmetric. This is given the name "color", although it has nothing to do with the perception of the frequency (or wavelength) of light, which is the usual meaning of color. This quantum number is the charge involved in the gauge theory called quantum chromodynamics (QCD).

So only a certain combination of quarks will attract; it's not like the gravitational force, which attracts all matter, indiscriminately.

I'll trade you 5 million quarks that don't affect me for Eastern Russia...:D
