In particle physics, strangeness S is a property of particles, expressed as a quantum number for describing decay of particles in strong and electro-magnetic reactions, which occur in a short period of time
Law of conservation of strangeness:
For particle interactions governed by the strong or electromagnetic forces, the total strangeness must remain the same. For interactions governed by the weak force, the strangeness either remains the same or changes by one unit.

Strangeness (the number of strange quarks minus the number of strange anti-quarks) is conserved except in weak interactions which allow quark flavors to change.

The more you answer questions like these the stanger you get.

The more you learn about Physics, the stranger it gets.
