Debate/discuss.

We must trust that our experiences are in fact red objects at the most abstract.

Without any theoretical knowledge of the functioning of quarks, that is the way that makes thematic sense in my head.

Typically you keep the generations in order and list the positively charged quark first. I don't really care though. I just didn't have anything else to add to this remarkable thread.

this thread abides.

I found a vid of you guys as kids. Just pretend Ethan Hawke is Canadian, you can guess who L_D is...MIkolbe shows up at the end

So what order makes the most theoretical sense?

[MIKolbe]

absolutely!

Just some meaningful structure based on their measured properties. (Only talking about "normal" matter here, not including anti-matter or the exclusively theoretical squarks.) If you wanted to refer to the three generations (the category of generation is based on mass) of positive charge quarks it would be u, c & t (up, charm and top), and the three negative charge quarks would then be d, s & b. If listing all the quarks (normal matter) it makes sense to list them as +/- pairs in three generations, thus: u, d, c, s, t, b.

Think of it this way. Up = generation 1, + charge; Down generation 1, - charge, etc.. So the u, d, c, s, t, b ordering means:

1+, 1-, 2+, 2-, 3+, 3-

It has a coherent pattern. The listing in your poll was this:

Up; Down; Top; Bottom; Strange; Charm

Which would be:

1+, 1-, 3+, 3-, 2-, 2+

That's why I complained. But again, it isn't a big deal, 'twas just being a turd.

I don't really know anything about quarks beyond those names and that they exist (mostly).

As odd as this may sound I think about quarks almost every day for some reason.
