Does anyone have the most up-to-date zero-point oscillation frequency for a hydrogen molecule? This is not a homework question, I'm thinking about incorporating it into a tattoo someday. I don't wish to have a tattoo with inaccurate info, so any help would be appreciated.
If we consider a sphere oscillates in viscous fluid with frequency w,
then sphere has velocity u=u_0*e^{-iwt}
In Laudau's book, he defined the velocity of fluid is:
v=e^{iwt}*F
where F is a vector with only spatial variable involved.
The boundary condition then becomes u=v at |x|=R,
where R is...

Since the actual mass-eigenstate gluons are not the simple red-antired, red-antigreen, etc. but rather linear combinations thereof, is color charge still absolutely conserved? It seems that if we (perhaps naïvely) treat a gluon as simply fluctuating from one of the color-anticolor combinations...
