Introductory remarks: quark flavors
Description
The question of where the next quark flavor n should occur is discussed. It is guessed that it will have a mass of 14 to 15 GeV by extrapolating from lower heavy quark mass ratios. The corresponding anti nn vector meson would have a mass of 30 GeV. The excitation spectrum of quarks is contrasted with that of the hydrogen atom. The possibility of regarding flavor as an excitation of some new degree of freedom in the system is discussed
