The invention of bubble chambers and spark chambers led to the discovery of growing numbers of hadrons, which could be classified according to charge and isospin by Wigner and Heisenberg, and later to strangeness by Gell-Mann and Nishijima, all of which seemed to indicate the existence of non- fundamental particles that would need to be accounted for by a new theory; discussion of this by Bogolyubov, Struminsky, and Tavchelidze set off a flurry of debate and experimentation that would eventually lead to this new theory.

Although in some applications it eventually developed into string theory, the S-matrix theory was abandoned in favour of this non-Abelian gauge theory because of its ability to solve problems of strong interactions within field theory. Describing properties of confinement and asymptotic freedom, the study of which won Politzer, Wilczek and Gross the 2004 Nobel Prize in Physics, this is, FTP, what theory about a fundamental force which describes the interactions of the quarks and gluons which make up hadrons such as the proton, neutron, and pion?
