I found this after a Google: https://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/physics/ParticleAndNuclear/gluons.html

There are 8 types of gluon particles.

If you are wondering what the hell I am doing subtracting particles from each other, well, that's quantum mechanics.

Sounds about right

Physicists:

This is just Occam's razor again: a hypothetical particle that can't interact with anything, and therefore can't be detected, doesn't exist.

Also Physicists: 85% of the universe’ mass is missing!!!

Those missing do interact on things, we just don't know what they are. That's why we know they're missing.
