Pointy Tail of Satan: I was so pissed when they changed the names of Truth and Beauty quarks to Top and Bottom. Why they using Beauty here is a bit of a mystery.
For maximal beauty flavor, brah...

beauty is truth, truth beauty, that is all ye know on earth and all ye need to know.
I remember the line, but not where it's from. paradise lost?
I could look on the internets of course

is that what's going on here? I have a masters degree in physics from 20 years ago and I had no idea what a beauty quark was.

I had a very good grade 12 English teacher who knew a lot about poetry. Some of it stuck with me.

Ya. Oddly though, I can't seem to find who named the four heavier quarks. But originally, they were Up, Down, Strange, Charm, Truth and Beauty. Plus the anti forms of course.

Well, duh.
Interestingly, the strong force, which is the key to the existence of nuclei and provides most of their masses, allows formations of numerous other dibaryons with various combinations of quarks.
I mean, obviously.
it is essential to investigate dibaryons and baryon-baryon interactions at the fundamental level of strong interactions
Boring!
I'm kidding, of course.

FTA: To resolve this apparent dichotomy, it is essential to investigate dibaryons and baryon-baryon interactions at the fundamental level of strong interactions.
Physicists noticed that one baryon and one baryon affect each other when they get close, because of the "strong force," But when a particle made out of 2 baryons interacted with single baryons and other dibaryon particles, the "strong force" caused different results.
This is entirely theoretical.
So, some of the physicists in India fed the math into a supercomputer, at a computational facility that studies how forces change when particle are combined in greater numbers (I get thet from the name Lattice Gauge Theory Initiative).
The takeaway is taht they got some kind of confiration that the math makes sense in large data sets.
Howdver, that is not observational evidence of any of this happening in real life. It is purely a computer model that did complicated stuff to a bunch of smaller cmputer models that some people invented and then said they don't understand.
So, it's not really a big honking deal. Some people invnted some math that gives them weird results. This is not based on observations that contain weird data so people are trying to make up math to explain it. it shouldn't be surprising that invented math would give weird results. What is a mildly pleasant surprise is that the super computer says the invented math is consistent and it might not be wrong, despite being weird and made-up.

yeah... um... what are baryons?
don't tell me, it's fine lol. yours could be a competent summary, or complete bollocks... I wouldn't know! wasted on me.
I don't know why I'm here, messing up a smart people thread!

Don't worry about it. Those QCD calculations go over my head too, and I once worked at a particle accelerator.

Protons and Neutrons are baryons, for example. We never actually got that deep into to nuclear stuff in my physics class but PBS Spacetime has cool videos about this stuff.
