%0 Journal Article %T On Some New Ideas in Hadron Physics %A Smarandache F. %A Christianto V. %J Progress in Physics %D 2010 %I HEXIS (Arizona) %X We shortly review a series of novel ideas on the physics of hadrons and nuclear matter. Despite being vastly different in scope and content, these models share a common attribute, in that they offer unconventional viewpoints on infrared QCD and nuclear phenomena. In a sense, they are reminiscent of the plethora of formulations that have been developed over the years on classical gravitation: many seemingly disparate approaches can be effectively used to describe and explore the same physics. %K hadron physics %K quantum mechanics %U http://ptep-online.com/index_files/2010/PP-20-13.PDF
