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.

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.
