Is the decision on Hadron a definite? Need to update scores if not...

[Graham C]

What is a hadron then Andrew?

Hadron is a name of a group of particles, such as neutrons and protons.

Does that not mean the same scrutiny for 'Quark'?

Could do.

Depends if anyone were to object.

Yep, objection

no because he also cooked the meals on deep space nine

Good point.  He was a small fella with big ears, so probably sub-atomic in size.

hadron
/hadron/

  • noun Physics a subatomic particle that can take part in the strong interaction, such as a baryon or meson.

  — ORIGIN from Greek hadros ‘bulky’.

are you suggesting the Oxford English Dictionary isn't a reliable source for an objection

[mondatoo]

Juuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuunnnnnnneeeeeeeeeee I expected 15 points there still pretty sure i wont win ONE TIME run bad or good  

[thetank]

OBJECTION!!!!!!!!!!

A subatomic particle is an elementary or composite particle smaller than an atom. Particle physics and nuclear physics are concerned with the study of these particles, their interactions, and non-atomic matter.

Hadrons are defined as strongly interacting composite particles.

seconded

tho not through any sense of understanding what is going on, just through self interest.

Just went for Hadron coz I went for Bonar Law for the PM and wanted a phallic theme to my answer set.

Posting something in a large font makes it more factually correct.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hadron

In particle physics, a hadron (pronounced /ˈhæːdɹɒn/, from the Greek: ἁδρός, hadrós, "stout, thick") En-us-hadron.ogg listen (help·info) is a bound state of quarks.

therefore hadron a bundle, quark not.

There are different quarks, which come together to form specific named particles.

Hadrons is just a name for any number of particles, none of which actually go together to 'form' a hadron.

Therefore ruling is, Up Quark to be assumed to be the same as Quark, Quark now scores 4, Junglecat loses the Ace.

Hadron still a fail.

i could have gotten one of them too - if only i could stay awake

Can we move this on a little bit quicker, I should have been in bed 30 minutes ago.
