Getting its from bits: The inventor of the term 'black hole', John Wheeler, has a gift for memorable phrases. 'Getting its from bits' is another of his creations
Article Abstract:
Classical physics distinguishes between the basic laws governing the evolution of systems in time and initial conditions given from the outside. Classical physics equations can apply to different types of solar system of different sizes and shapes. Planck's introduction of his quantum of action, advertized the possibility of a new Pythagorism, from which arose the modern Pythagoras-Planck programme, for a theoretical framework. quantum chromodynamics (QCD) is the modern theory of the strong interaction binding atomic nuclei together, advancing towards 'its and bits'.

And you're glue
Article Abstract:
Quantum chromodynamics (QCD) is the modern theory of the strong force binding quarks inside protons and neutrons, which in turn make atomic nuclei. Color gluons are the other ingredients of QCD, which were once viewed as a paste linking more substantial matter together. However gluons are weighty and dynamic constituents of matter. The gluonization of the proton was theoretically predicted, and according to QCD the complex forces confining quarks are due to an accumulated effect of short-lived virtual gluons.

The Standard Model transcended
Article Abstract:
Results from the SuprKamiokande detector show a physical phenomenon that lies beyond the framework of the Standard Model of physics, that neutrinos have mass. The neutrino mass confirms theoretical concepts about symmetry and unification of forces arising from the deep structure of the Standard Model. It is shown that different strands combine to produce neutrino mass, and N's mass is closely linked to the unification scale. However the theory of neutrino masses and mixings is not yet complete.
