After reading your comment, I went to arxiv and picked the first paper in High Energy Physics - Lattice, of which I know nothing about. http://arxiv.org/abs/1210.1053 Hey, it's only 4 pages. Reading the title: "Lattice measurement of α_s with a realistic charm quark." I know what a lattice is, I don't know what sort of measurement they intend to make on it, I have no clue what alpha_s is, I know vaguely what quarks are but don't remember the differences between say a charm quark and a strange quark. I don't know what makes a quark "realistic" or not. Abstract: "We report on an estimate of α_s…
