Not GCP as written above. My bad, I need to learn so much more.

Photons & Other Bosons
Gauge bosons are indivisible. These mediate the strong, weak, and electromagnetic interactions.
“The name 'photon' was introduced for these quanta in 1928 by American chemist Gilbert Lewis.”

I’m posting references here for a thing I am writing. There will be a separate thread on wormhole physics.

I'll bone-up with your links as soon as I finish with my eye surgery today == Ball macular in my right eye (also called hole macular). The doc. will be scraping the inside of my eyeball to remove the bulge -- fun, fun, huh?

Your link one.
What in the F is a muon other than an elementary particle?
From the Department of Energy (DOE) --- see www.gov, the largest website in the world and maybe the universe for further information about the cosmos, etc.

How’d the eye scraping go?

Zero
It got re-schooled for early next month (see January 2025).

Gluons
In addition to spin, gluons come in three colors, red green or blue. These are not genuine colors, as photons emitted by quarks are likely energetic beyond the visible range. Instead they are analogous to electron/positron charge, except there are three “charges,” not polar charges. So we identify gluon flavors as one of the three primary colors.
We could have gone with salt, sweet, sour, etc., but the way colors combine is more meaningful. Remember, gluons do not emit photons. Like photons, gluons are vector bosons, so their spin is 1.
Just as photons carry or mediate the electromagnetic force (though photons carry no charge themselves), gluons mediate the strong nuclear interaction. Quarks form hadrons, which are any particles comprised of quark/antiquark pairs (mesons) or three quarks (baryons), or higher quark arrangements. Five quarks can form a particle. Baryons are any odd numbered arrangement of quarks. The two stable baryons are the proton (up up down) and neutron (down down up). All the rest rapidly decompose.
Gluons hold quarks together. Gluons are the glue that bind quarks into configurations.

Wow Shiva
I read your exact first link in the December Scientific American yesterday --- art work and all.
