It’s strange enough for atoms, but positively bizarre when we get to the atomic nucleus. And today we’re going nuclear, as we dive into the weird world of quantum chromodynamics and the strong force.

I love how the color naming system makes chromodynamics so much more intuitive for those of us who aren’t physicists.

Thank you for explaining the color wheel in a way those of us who aren't artists can understand. It's really complicated, but the analogy "it's just like the SU(3) symmetry of the strong nuclear force" is so helpful.

The last three episodes have been exactly what I’ve wanted to learn. So much great information. Happy to have my atoms assembled in this form right now.

This episode had one of the best explanations of quarks I've ever experienced. Thank you for this great content!

this episode is an absolute masterpiece. please do more content like this, i feel like this is real physics talk but a layman can understand it

I think the strong nuclear force just became my favorite force! What a mind-blowing intro to quantum chromodynamics. I'm from an arts background so I'm just an enthusiastic spectator here, but I never expected that color theory would help me understand deep physical forces intuitively. All these videos are great but thanks in particular for this one.

I feel like this is one of the best episodes you guys have ever produced. Thank you for continuing to make content about what interests you and your regular viewers instead of falling prey to trying to play the Youtube algorithm game. Two thumbs up, PBS Space Time.

I love how the videos are informative and relatively easy to understand while not being too basic on the other hand. Enjoy watching them every time

If it wasn't strong it wouldn't be called "The Strong Force." Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.
