Strangeness is a number tacked on to hadrons which allows certain decay predictions. To calculate the strangeness of a particle you take the negative of the quantity of the number of strange quarks minus the number of anti strange quarks. If we take a sigma 0 baryon (up+down+strange) we can run the particle through the equation -((1 strange)-(0 anti-strange))=-1. So, a Sigma 0 baryon has -1 strangeness.
The only real significance of this is the fact that we can predict the decay products. High strangeness implies a high likelihood of decaying into a bottomed or charmed hadron.
However, when considering the other quantum numbers there are various other things it implies in quantum flavourdynamics.

Which is radioactivity physics or chemistry?
Physics; more specifically, nuclear physics.
What is the difference between quantum physics and physics?
Nothing. Quantum is a branch of physics
What does physics stand for or full form of physics abbreviation physics?
The full form of the word physics is physics. It does kind of sound like it derives from the word physical science or physiology or something but it doesn't.
What is the contribution of chemistry in physics?
contribution of chemistry to physics
Nuclear physics is the field of physics?
Nuclear Physics is a field of physics, yes. It involves interactions between atomic nuclei. Nuclear fission, nuclear fusion, nuclear decay (though in some ways that is more particle physics).
Should you like to be alone?
It depends on the person. Prefering to be left alone is nice but often if you are alone for a long period of time, this can be bad as it gives a strangness to you. As for me, I prefer to be left alone but occasionally I speak to people.
What are the different subbranches of physics?
cabal helix physics meyo internet physics bebang physics. quantom physics resthys physics
What is the difference between physics and rad physics?
Rad Physics is physics applied to radiation
What physics are in radiology?
Radiation physics and solid state physics.
Examples of modern physics?
Quantum Physics, Astronomical Physics
What are the branches of pure physics?
There are two main branches of pure physics. These are quantum physics and applied physics and they both focus on different aspects of physics.

What fields of science was Albert Einstein in?
Physics. Indeed, he won the Nobel Prize in physics -- but not for relativity.Math and Physics
What is the meaning of pure physics?
the gathering of physics related information that adds to the knowledge of human body. Not directly concerned with the practical use and application of the information branches of pure physics bio-physics, cryogenics, electricity, electronics, magnetism, geo-physics, mathematical, mechanics, sound, nuclear physics, quantum physics, plasma physics, particle physics, statistical and thermodynamics.
