21202	The strong force has a considerably greater range than the weak force [Martin,BR]
	Full Idea: The strong nuclear force has a range of 10^-15 m, considerably larger than the range of the weak force.
	From: Brian R. Martin (Particle Physics [2011], 01)
	A reaction: This is because the bosons transmitting the weak force (W+, W-, W°) are much heavier than the gluons of the strong force.

27. Natural Reality / A. Classical Physics / 2. Thermodynamics / c. Conservation of energy

21211	If an expected reaction does not occur, that implies a conservation law [Martin,BR]
	Full Idea: If some reaction is not observed when there is apparently nothing to prevent it occurring, it is an indication that a conservation law is in operation.
	From: Brian R. Martin (Particle Physics [2011], 07)
