Why is it called baryon?
Could you please explain the reasoning behind the name "baryon"? It seems like an interesting choice, and I'm curious to know the history or significance behind it. Is there a specific property or characteristic of these particles that the name "baryon" is meant to convey? Or is it simply a term that was coined and adopted over time by the scientific community? I'd appreciate any insight you can provide on the origins and meaning of this term.

What is the lifetime of a boson?
I'm curious, can you elaborate on the lifespan of a boson? How long does it typically persist in its quantum state before decaying or interacting with other particles? Does this duration vary significantly between different types of bosons, and if so, what factors contribute to these variations? Additionally, how does the understanding of boson lifetimes factor into our broader comprehension of quantum mechanics and particle physics?
