They may not be able to r enormalized the quark-antiquark Hamiltonian but they've heard the word before, James Joyce on the other hand was virtually unknown in his own day and after a century things have not improved for the man, few have even heard of him much less one of his characters. The following is a graph of the number of times the word "quark" is used in a book published between 1920 and 2008 versus the number of times "Molly Bloom" is mentioned; and it overstates "Molly Bloom" because being 2 words the graph would include things like a book on flowing plants by somebody named "Molly": https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=Quark%2CMolly+Bloom&year_start=1920&year_end=2017&corpus=15&smoothing=3&share=&direct_url=t1%3B%2CQuark%3B%2Cc0%3B.t1%3B%2CMolly%20Bloom%3B%2Cc0 John K Clark -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
