I need to work on my analogies. I've been using that phrase for months, trust HN to point out the error! To be fair, I base the analogy on the following:
Due to a phenomenon known as color confinement, quarks are never directly observed or found in isolation; they can only be found within hadrons
- mctavjb9 15y ago"Rarer than a free quark" would save your analogy.
- Confusion 15y agoRarer than a magnetic monopole would also work, but doesn't quite have the same ring.
- nagrom 15y agoYes, but hadrons basically make up a lot of matter :-) You want free quark, or if you want obscure-physics cred, you could say 'rarer than an odderon'. The (non?)existence of odderons has been an argument in particle physics for about 30 years... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odderon http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odderon
