Thanks ZapperZ for the reply. I am essentially trying to translate the below into English so that a non-science person with no physics background can understand it. I don't really understand any of this, actually. Is a meson a subparticle that is, in turn, bound together by other subparticles...

Hello, first post. I am trying to understand what a meson is. I have googled this and looked at both the wiki page and several intro physics presentations, but the concept is eluding me. Could someone please explain what a meson is? Thanks, sciencenoob
