Eightfold way (physics)

thumb|The [[pseudoscalar meson octet. Particles along the same horizontal line share the same strangeness, , while those on the same left-leaning diagonals share the same charge, (given as multiples of the elementary charge).]]

In physics, the eightfold way is an organizational scheme for a class of subatomic particles known as hadrons that led to the development of the quark model. The American physicist Murray Gell-Mann and the Israeli physicist Yuval Ne'eman independently and simultaneously proposed the idea in 1961.
