      One more reason to vote for Kerry. Offensive, offtopic, trolling assholes like Bush, and by virtue, hate real science.

    I kinda liked the Wiki article which mentioned the quarks' colours...
    with the antiquarks anti-colours, I just wonder whether anti red would be cyan, anti-green, would be magenta and anti blue would be yellow, as suggested by this ?

    Of course, I understood this colour case is only a paradigm and doesn't reflect any visible characteristics (also because there's no such thing as a colour, at this subatomic scale)...

    But I would not be surprised if some colour-coordination actually reflected what happens at the quark level.

    The object of the previous sentence was the initial "It ..." of "It also filled...". By recursion, that "It" referred to the object of the previous sentence, which was "quantum chromodynamics".

    But hey, thanks for playing.

    Today's lesson -- when writing complex sentences containing subclauses, avoid dangling participles.

    Yeah. Let's attack the physics someone is talking about because they had a dangling participle that made it, in the literal, confusing. That's real syncretism right there.
