    Had to go look up why Gluon's wig changed colour.
    Apparently gluons carry the colour charge of the strong interaction (between quarks, acting as the exchange particle), participating in the strong interaction at the same time as mediating it.
    The colour charge determines how quarks and gluons interact through the strong force.
    There are three; red, green and blue as well as anti colours called anti-red, anti-green, and anti-blue.
    You get a colour neutral system when red, green, and blue (or anti-red, anti-green, and anti-blue) or any color and its anti-color combine.
    They're not actual colours of course, it's just a convenient analogy to the primary colours.
    I still don't have a deep enough understanding of why the wig kept changing colour to really get it but the colour charge changing might just be what happens when tearing apart a hadron.
    I love being inspired to look stuff up when I don't get it.

    • @Ricocossa1
      @Ricocossa1 Місяць тому +15

      Gluons carry a color and an anti-color at all times, but because they self-interact, as you correctly point out, if you look inside of a hadron it is a constant mess of gluons interacting with themselves and with quarks.

      The splitting into two is due to the fact the binding energy of hadrons being considerably higher than the inertial mass of its quarks, in such a way that, if you put in the energy to sparate quarks, they just use the energy you put into the system to make more of themselves, in a way there never is a lone quark

    > But if you are a physicist, please do feel free to tell me what I got wrong, as I am not one!
    I am currently a Physics PhD student and this seemed like a fun way to avoid doing actual work for a few minutes. I am like 99% sure all of these are right but I didn't look anything up so I might still have some inaccuracies!
    The 1st one is easily having the quarks exist independently. There are no "color-charged" asymptotic states (i.e. An up quark not in a bound state). Any "free" color-charged particle would rapidly hadronize. Next having 2 quarks say "This baryon's already full" to the 3rd quark when a baryon is explicitly made of 3 valence quarks (I guess any odd number if you consider pentaquark structures, etc), but definitely not just 2, is probably the biggest gaff of this whole skit. "I ought to come over to that proton of yours and clobber you", again you are missing the 3rd valence quark, you need a 2nd up! Same mistake as before. A tau decaying only into a pion violates lepton number, it would also need to emit a neutrino. I wasn't going to mention it but then you had neutrinos so I figured its fine. The pair production of "stretching" a gluon should produce a particle and its antiparticle. So instead of having 2 Ups and 2 Downs at the end it should have been like 2 Up, 1 Down, then 1 Anti-Up (or something similar)
    Now my personal opinions but not inaccuracies. If you are going to make someone call out the electron for "being negative", it should have been a particle with positive charge (or at least neutral), not the down quark. Not an inaccuracy, just could have fit the flavor better. Personally, a lot of theorists I know like truth and beauty over top and bottom if you talk to them in private (I do too). But you are correct that everyone calls them Top and Bottom publicly (I also do this). I think it was a missed opportunity to not have the neutrinos constantly switching names to showcase neutrino oscillation. Overall there were some great jokes! I really enjoyed the gluon color part at the end!

    • @triacontahedron

      1. "could have fit the flavor better." Did you intend this? (a better flavor of quark could've been chosen)
