Could yet unobserved baryons constitute useful building materials?
The setting is a science fiction story set roughly 500 years in the future.
Looking at Wikipedia, I see a number of baryons that have so far never been observed. I'm interested in exploring this subject, and wonder if those baryons could have useful properties for futuristic technologies.
First, could those particles stable enough to allow to build things with them, and would it be possible to manufacture them in the future ? If so, could they potentially be used to build materials with very high resistance, very low or very high mass, etc. ?
For example, a high resistance, low mass material made of manufactured baryons could be useful to build military vehicles or as protection. A high resistance but transparent material could be used as windows on warships. Or any other properties related to bendability, electric conductivity, etc.
What I'm really asking for is, how much flexibility (based on our current knowledge) do those unobserved baryons offer me to imagine futuristic technologies?
