The meaning of "quark matter" is twofold: 1) It refers to compound
states known as "subquarks" (the most fundamental constituents of
matter), with quarks consisting of nuclear matter or "nucleons"
(the constituents of the nucleus), and 2) compound states of quarks
that consist of roughly equal numbers of up, down, and strange
quarks, and which may be absolutely stable. Recently, both types of
quark matter have become very intriguing subjects in physics and
astronomy since the recently discovered Higgs boson, which may be
taken as a composite object (possibly, a bound state of
subquark-antisubquark pairs). Additionally, many recently observed
compact stars have been considered "strange stars" (stars
consisting of quark matter). In this book, these subjects in
physics and astronomy are discussed without requiring readers to
comprehend mathematical details. This book consists of three
chapters: Chapter One: "Quark Matter and Strange Stars", Chapter
Two: "Composites of Subquarks as Quark Matter", and Chapter Three:
"Dark Energy, Dark Matter, and Strange Stars". Their contents
include the following: In Chapter One, quark matter and strange
stars are discussed in detail. In Chapter Two, the unified subquark
model of all fundamental particles (quarks, leptons, and gauge and
Higgs bosons) and forces (strong, electromagnetic, weak, and
gravitational forces) is discussed in detail. In Chapter Three,
pregeometry, in which the general theory of relativity for gravity
can be derived as an approximate theory at long distances, is
briefly reviewed. Furthermore, special and general theories of
"inconstancy" in pregeometry in which fundamental physical
constants may vary are introduced. Finally, possible solutions to
the most puzzling problem in current cosmology of dark energy and
dark matter in the universe are presented. Between Chapters One and
Two, pictures of Dr. Abdus Salam added, as Dr. Salam was one of the
founders of subquark models. Also, between Chapters Two and Three,
pictures of Dr. Andrei Sakharov are added, as Dr. Sakharov was the
founder of pregeometry.
