Abstract
Nature shows us four faces.
The world of “strong” nuclear interactions is to be seen within the nucleus and in high energy collisions, where this strongest force of nature is a real autocrat. The coupling constant is big, g2/\(\bar{h}\) c ≥ 1, it produces large masses and as a consequence of the Wick relation r = \(\bar{h}\)/mc the massiv hadrons transmit momentum over short distances: r ≤ 2.10−13 cm. The strong interaction vanishes beyond the nuclear surface because it is strong.
Lecture given at XIII. Internationale Universitätswochen für Kernphysik, Schladming, Austria, February 4–15,1974.
