Problem – Why study of weak interactions called flavordynamics?
Solution
Weak Interactions allows quark to swap their flavors to another. These swapping properties are mediated by force carrier bosons.
Example –
During $\beta^{-}$ decay: the down quark within a neutron is changed into an up quark, thus converting the neutron to a proton & resulting in the emission of an electron antineutrino.
