Gluons couple to all particles that carry the charge of quantum chromodynamics, which is known as color charge. In other words, only particles with color charge (quarks and gluons) take part in strong interactions. This is again analogous to electromagnetic interactions since only particles that carry electric charge take part in electromagnetic interactions, i.e. couple to photons. | Gluons couple to all particles that carry the charge of quantum chromodynamics, which is known as color charge.

- | Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) is the best theory of strong interactions that we have. Strong interactions is another name for one of the four fundamental forces that know. (The others are: the weak force, the [[models:standard_model:qed|electric force]] and [[theories:general_relativity|gravity]]). | + | Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) is the best theory of strong interactions that we have.
