  Eightfold way (physics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In physics, the Eightfold Way is a term coined by American physicist Murray Gell-Mann for a theory organizing subatomic baryons and mesons into octets (alluding to the Noble Eightfold Path of Buddhism).
In addition to organizing the mesons and spin-1/2 baryons into octets, the principles of the Eightfold Way also applied to the spin-3/2 baryons, forming a decuplet.
The Eightfold Way may be understood in modern terms as a consequence of flavor symmetries between various kinds of quarks.

 The Buddhist Five Precepts as Ethical Touchstone
I discovered that the Eightfold way is the schema for a lifelong process of discovery, while a shorter list, the Five Precepts, encapsulate the Buddhist's rules for ethical behavior.
In a way almost inconceivable to someone reared in a more dogmatic religious tradition, Buddhists of each type are happy to agree on a core of beliefs, and happy to permit each other to differ on details that would create bitter schisms in other religions.
The Eightfold Way is a list of eight areas to which you must pay attention, if you are to live a life without desire ñ which is also a harmless life, and a joyful life.

 Eightfold Way
Proposed independently in 1961 by both Murray Gell-Mann and Yuval Ne'eman, the Eightfold Way groups the baryons and mesons into geometrical patterns of the same baryon number, spin and parity.
However, the discovery of the -minus particle was the main factor in proving the validity of the Eightfold Way.
In this model it remains to be seen whether the Eightfold Way is an accurate representation of the mesons since this quark model requires there to be nine mesons--three of which have Q=S=0.

 Read This: The Eightfold Way   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
The Eightfold Way: The Beauty of Klein's Quartic Curve is the 35th volume of the MSRI Research Publications series from Cambridge University Press.
The book was written to commemorate the November 14, 1993 unveiling of "The Eightfold way," a marble sculpture by Helaman Ferguson inspired by the remarkable mathematical properties of the Klein Quartic curve.
The name the "Eightfold Way" makes reference to one prominent feature of the sculpture: if one traces along any of the prominent ridges or grooves on the marble part of the sculpture, making alternating left and right turns at intersections for a total of 8 turns, one arrives back at one's starting point.

The "Eightfold Agrarian Way" is an outline of an agrarian philosophy for the twenty-first century.
It is both a catalog and a prescription: a catalog, because it began as an attempt to find the common ground in three thousand years of agrarian thought; a prescription, because I believe that the philosophy I found is as valid for the future as its first authors thought it for the past.

 QuarkDense Productions :: The Eightfold Way
The Eightfold Way is classification of subatomic particles known as hadrons into groups on the basis of their symmetrical properties, the number of members of each group being 1, 8 (most frequently), 10, or 27.
It is based on the mathematical symmetry group SU(3); however, the name of the system was suggested by analogy with the Eightfold Path of Buddhism because of the centrality of the number eight.
One of the early triumphs of the Eightfold Way was the prediction of the existence of a heavy subatomic particle required to complete one of the groups.
