- You have quantum chromodynamics which is quantum mechanics applied to the strong interaction.
- And so therefore neither electrons or electron type particles or the neutrinos interact via the strong interaction.
- And we don't know why we there's other small numbers, like there's a parameter in the strong interactions that governs violations of a symmetry called CP.
Examples
-
Quantum chromodynamics (QCD), the current theory of the strong interactions, is a field theory of quarks and gluons.

-
But you can see here that there are still strong interactions going on as long as these guys are close enough to each other.
-
But it seemed to make no sense in the search for a real theory of the strong interactions.

strong + interaction
A B1 learner who knows 'strong' and 'interaction' can infer that this refers to a powerful or intense interaction, so the basic idea of a "strong" force is transparent. However, the specific technical meaning— the nuclear force binding protons and neutrons mediated by gluons—requires domain knowledge and is not derivable from the constituents alone, so the term is only partially predictable.
Etymology
Strong interaction uses the words strong and interaction to give the image of a very strong force that makes tiny particles stick together like a 'glue' inside the center of an atom. That's why it means the force that keeps protons and neutrons together in the atom's center.
