From StartsWithABang https://twitter.com/StartsWithABang on Twitter: Why Are There Only 8 Gluons? https://t.co/XOeQw3p1mH There are three colors. And three anticolors. And every gluon carries a color-anticolor combination. So why are there only 8, instead of 9? The physics (and math) is pretty spectacular. -
