  Look man, the more I hear this argument the more I want to get into a Ph D program to figure out a better way to describe how fucking weird the Strong force is.

  Sure, it “increases with distance” but the amount of energy you put in separating two particles bound by the strong force increases the probability of creating a new particle from the vacuum and then that distance snaps instantly. It has a practical limit if it is within the bounds of spacetime.

    Please do! Us physics enthusiasts laymen need ANSWERS ! :D

  Color is just a word for a quantum property, not actual color.

  I mean, increasing with distance isn’t that bad, since it only increases upto a point and goes out of range.

  I like that its analogous with springs and all, which also increases force with distance from mean position

  fair point, but at least it doesnt break so many symmetries

  strong is like the cool hippie brother

  What do you mean by color?

    “Colour charge”, ehich has nothing to do with colors though. Its like electric charge but instead of two opposite(called posotive and negative), it hace three “colours” which obeys R+G+B=colourless(white) just lije positive+negative equal zero

      There are still opposite charges - each colour has an ‘anti’-colour. So R+R=colourless G+G=colourless etc. This is how mesons work (pairs of quarks). Baryons are triplets of quarks but there are also combined tetra- and pentaquark states also.

      You can think of anti-red as being cyan etc. but the colour theory can be more confusing than it’s worth.

        Yeah but aren’t they the antimatter version of thoose colour charges? Didn’t mention it for that reason but yeah mesons
