The Invisible Force that Binds Us (and Makes Us Heavy!)
Type: Presentation
Description:
The color force, aka the "strong nuclear force", aka "quantum chromodynamics", is one of the four fundamental forces in physics. This force dominates the world of the very small, even smaller than atoms! It is so important that without it we wouldn't exist! However, it has never become well known by most people due to the complicated math of its "field theory". But the color force actually has some simple laws and rules that you will learn about in this presentation.
