Fermions, on the other hand, have odd integer multiples of fundamental spin units of 1/2.Jameshttp://www.asiarooms.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9124539381685751273.post-89198755016632834512009-03-14T19:36:00.000-07:002009-03-14T19:36:00.000-07:00Strange... several dictionaries seem to think that...Strange... several dictionaries seem to think that a squark is simply a strange quark.
