Editing Talk:Particle (section)

== Massive/massless arc welding particles? Not. ==

[[Mea culpa]]. I came upon "massive particle" which is a term used in particle physics in opposition to "massless particle". I jumped to the conclusion that [[Particle]] would describe the unmodified noun, and thus be the natural home for massive/massless content. I proposed a merge which was accepted.

Now I see that [[Particle]] is a [[WP:Broad concept]]. Only the particle physics "particle" has a massless form and thus "massive particle" only makes sense in the context of particle physics.

I guess I will try to fix this up by adding content to this article on the important special subtopic, "particles in particle physics". [[User:Johnjbarton|Johnjbarton]] ([[User talk:Johnjbarton|talk]]) 00:23, 9 March 2026 (UTC)
