tweedle
v.
fiddle, fuss with; twist, coil; chirp, produce high-pitched sounds; play lightly on a musical instrument; attract with music, lure with music
Preon
In
particle physics, preons are postulated "point-like" particles, conceived to be subcomponents of
quarks and
leptons. The word was coined by
Jogesh Pati and
Abdus Salam in
1974. Interest in preon models peaked in the
1980s but has slowed as some proposed models were ruled out by
collider experiments and no model was able to predict a new experimental result. Additionally, after the
first superstring revolution, many particle physicists became convinced that
string theory offers the most logical research program to pursue, in understanding the nature of elementary particles. It was thought string theory was more promising than preon theory, and many particle physicists committed their research efforts in this direction. More recently confidence in string theory has waned in some quarters, leading to renewed interest in alternative approaches, including preon models.
