I had WG's qcd, relativistic wave equations, & quantum mechanics books until a recent move and the post office lost some of my boxes. I guess I'll need to get some of them again, or maybe copy some pages at stanford library. (I don't have it memorized) Thanks for directing me back to chapter 7.

I just asked for some citations to some qcd mass calculations, so I could make some of my own in a similar situation - more inexpensive than the texts on amazon or stanford bookstore. Comparing to experimental evidence is the only proof everyone will accept. More to the point, that I will for my...

I have a master's degree in mathematics. Not quite a layman. In the law there is a concept of "a reasonable man" standard. They don't go to the level of a "child's understanding" for proof by preponderence or beyond reasonable doubt. I guess I'll leave the "subjectiveness" question there...

Thanks. This looks useful.

I thought it was against the rules to attack or insult other posters. Anyway. To the casual observer the qcd lagrangian is not simple compare to classical gravity or electromagnetism - taught in hig hool and te ist years of colege - not subjective. Even the wave equations of general relativity...

Didn't I start out with request for citations of calculations examples so I could calculate some others for myself?

The wavefunction is in isospin space.

Take alook at ay book ny Walter Grenier and you'll see good math in a physics book. In hig schol and college, math and physics texts have good derivations of subject matter. Articles are more word than derivation - probably because journalists and CEOs are running them.

That's not my experience.

nice article, but wher's the mathematics?

The PDG pdf file won't load on my computer. And i am suggesting that the SU(3)xSU2)xU(1) group structure and weinberg-salam lagrangian get more credit than they deserve. The fundamentals must be simple. Complexity comes from the intricacies of manifestation of instantiation. Newton's laws...

Newtonian theory gives us calculation accuracy to send satellites to Saturn - millions of miles away. QED gives calculation accuracy for atomic spectra for thouands of atomic electron energy levels. And anyone can calculate them for themselves to verify claims. Physics textbooks is where the...

Anyone have citations to examples of the calculations?

Most of the mass of nucleons (by far) is in the binding energy between the quarks. how does the standard model state how to find this bindng energy (fundamentally, not by subtracting the total from the constituents)?
