Is Quark Matter Truly Non-Strange?

This paper:

Bob Holdom, Jing Ren, and Chen Zhang. "Quark Matter May Not Be Strange." Physical Review Letters. DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.120.222001

Proposes properties of elements further along the Periodic Table of elements - than the elements we have created so far.

I cannot evaluate the merit of the work. I arbitrarily assigned an 'I'.

Would someone else please comment? Thank you.

Thank you for sharing this paper with the community. I have read the paper by Holdom et al. with great interest. The authors propose that quark matter may not necessarily have to contain strange quarks, which challenges the current understanding of the properties of elements further along the Periodic Table.

I believe that this paper presents an important contribution to the field of particle physics and has potential for further research and exploration. The authors provide a solid theoretical framework and use sophisticated calculations to support their claims. However, as with any scientific research, further experiments and validation are needed to confirm their findings.

In my opinion, Holdom et al.'s work is a valuable addition to the current knowledge on quark matter and opens up new possibilities for understanding the properties of elements beyond what we have already created. I would encourage other scientists in the community to read the paper and share their thoughts and comments.

Thank you again for bringing this paper to our attention. I look forward to seeing how this research progresses in the future.
