One way of stating the bootstrap theory is to say that hadrons are ‘dense’. In order for this to have a truly physical meaning, and in order for the abstract idea of infinite cardinality to be rigorously self-consistent, it is necessary to redefine the concept of denseness to mean that size is increasing as velocity.
