hey guys,
I am a first year physics student but my physics lecturer invited me to sit in during her third year physics lecture.
Of course i didnt fully understand some of it, but i think i at least grasped the concept of confinement (the lecture was on quantum chromodynamics by the way). My question is: if quarks are unable to separate once they are within a certain distance feom each other, would it not be the case that groups of quarks passing by each other within this distance would form one larger group? And would this not continue until there was just a huge clump of quarks all unable to escape each other??
Sorry if my question is unclear, as i said i am only a first year and i may have the wrong idea about confinement in general. If so please try and put me on the right track.
Thanks,
