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. The particle, called omega-minus, was discovered in 1964. The name was suggested by the analogy with the Eightfold Path (or Way) central to Buddhism and applied by Gell-Mann to this particle classification because of the centrality of the number eight. 1, record 2, English, - Eightfold%20Way
