Gluons in Schoolbooks
Around 1994, I read in a Swedish textbook for 14 year olds:
"There are four kinds of gluons. There is the gravitational gluon which mediates
gravity. There is the electromagnetic gluon involved in electromagnetism
and the weak gluon mediating the weak interaction which is responsible for the weak interaction.
And then there is the supersticky gluon which mediates nuclear forces."
True or False
Take a look at the
"Quark
Machine"
or "Gluon Machine"
from SciTech
or the Atom
Builder
from the The Science Odyssey
.
