Why are there three generations of fundamental particles?
• In the case of quarks and gluons, each generation represents a stable force balance between angular momentum of the quark/gluon orbitspheres and one of three energies: the Planck energy, the potential energy and the magnetic energy of the quark/gluon orbitspheres. The Planck energy configuration is the lowest and most stable state. These energies are also behind the three generations of leptons and neutrinos.
