This time we’ll focus on a family of particles that all have one thing in come: they are strange.</p><p>You see, in particle physics, strangeness is a technical term. It arose in the 1950’s to explain a class of newly discovered particles that took far too long to decay to be normal. Perhaps for the lack of a better name, physicists called them strange.</p><p>In this season we’ll explore the strange mesons and baryons - heavy versions of the pions and protons you’ve come to know - and learn how strange particle physics is both counts a new kind of quark and introduces all kinds of other trouble.</p><p>Stay tuned in the coming days and weeks to learn about this collection of strange particles and the strange, physical ideas they present us.</p><p>Ideas like:</p><ul> <li> Neutral particle oscillations and regeneration</li> <li> Hyper nuclei</li> <li> Parity violation</li> <li> And the matter inside neutron stars</li> </ul><p><br>We’re so excited to share these stories you.</p>
