The crisis of ”naked ” colour in Quantum

Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), as a part of the Standard Model of particle physics, is the most successful theory of the strong interaction at present. However, as shown by the author, it predicts a colour dependence of the electric charge of the quarks. This colour dependence is consistent with all that we know of QCD for three colours and for arbitrary number of colours; except that it brings about a direct conflict with the experimen-tally well-known coulomb interaction of the electric charges of quarks and leptons. This leads directly to QCD predicting ”naked ” colour interaction in electrodynamics at large distances. This is completely unacceptable and is thus a major crisis for QCD. Note that this crisis cannot be swept aside, as the issue of the ”naked ” colour is as fundamenatal a prediction of QCD as that of the asypmtotic freedom was
