We have no good theory of mass scale for fermions. The masses of the fermions would make a little more sense if we were missing the partner to the strange quark. The charm quark would happily be a third generation quark along with the bottom quark. The top quark might then be the first member of
the fourth generation of quarks or perhaps it would switch places with charm.

Yes - good idea.... I've had many sleepless nights over those pesky fermions. I always thought that the scale of weights used by boxers would have been quite appropriate. (see link) |

Are you related in some way to Beanangel? Just curious... [+] Bun for "strange bottom". |
