Thanks. I'm a old dude interested in improving my understanding of science, particularly a better grasp of QCD.
What is QCD? A Beginner's Guide to Understanding Quantum Chromodynamics

In summary, Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) is a fundamental theory in physics that explains the strong nuclear force, one of the four fundamental forces of nature. It describes the interactions between quarks, which are the fundamental building blocks of protons and neutrons, and gluons, which are the particles that mediate the strong force. QCD is an important component of the Standard Model of particle physics and has been extensively studied and verified through experiments. It is a complex theory that is still being researched and understood, but it plays a crucial role in our understanding of the universe at the smallest scales.
