Hadrons Memes

Ever tried explaining particle physics at a party? This is why you can't. Physicists created this bizarre hexagon of Greek letters, random numbers in parentheses, and mysterious quantum properties like "s" and "Q" values—then had the audacity to call astrology unscientific. The baryon octet diagram shown here is basically physicists saying "trust me bro" with extra mathematical notation. We spent billions on the Large Hadron Collider just to name particles like they're rejected Star Trek aliens (Σ⁰, Λ, Ξ⁻). And that J^P = 1/2⁺ at the bottom? That's just to make sure absolutely nobody at the family reunion asks you follow-up questions.
