1960 New Scientist 5 May 1126/2 Like electric charge, the total magnitude of strangeness remains constant in a nuclear process. Not so, however, for the decay phenomena... Decay forces violate strangeness-conservation.
1963 S. Tolansky Introd. Atomic Physics (ed. 5) xxiii. 397 Whilst the strangeness number seems to play a basic part in the baryon reactions it does not operate in the base of the leptons... The concept of isospin is hardly appropriate to the leptons and with this falls away the significance of strangeness too.
1965 H. Muirhead Physics Elem. Particles ix. 396 The classification of particles using the hypercharge quantum number is more economical in numbers than one involving strangeness.
1972 G. L. Wick Elem. Particles v. 92 In the final analysis, either strangeness or hypercharge will suffice as a quantum number. In practice experimenters prefer to use strangeness—largely for historical reasons... On the other hand, some theoreticians have adopted the new terminology as it is easier to manipulate in the equations.
1981 Sci. Amer. June 57/1 Strangeness conservation is now understood to be not a fundamental principle like energy conservation..but a consequence of the detailed theory of the strong interactions.
