Yeah, I bought that book with the theories. I was supposed to occassionally give you the definition followed by a smart-ass translation. Today, I have nothing good to say, but I'll enlighten you to a random theory that may or may not relate to my day somehow.
Charm Theory - Charm is a quantum number used in the theory of quarks and hadrons. The charm quark has charm +1 and the charm antiquark has charm -1. All other quark flavors have charm 0. The charm of a particle is the number of charmed quarks minus the number of anticharmed quarks.
Translation: Well, I don't really know what a quark is. What the hell are hadrons? Let us just say that you know some cool people (charmed quarks) and you know some people that flat out suck (charm antiquark). You don't really have an opinion about the rest (other quark flavors). Therefore, I'm talking out of my ass by saying that your charm is the number of cool people you know minus the number of assholes you know...and if you have more charm, well, I'm sure those hadrons are affected somehow. Any way you say it, I think my 'charmed quark' count went up today.
