You can't point to an observation of a pion. Pions are a quantity of
binding energy. Binding energy, like all energy, has angular momentum.
Instead of seeing the quantity of energy for what it is, physicists have
opted to call it a particle. It should be plainly obvious to any reasonable
researcher that a "particle" with a life span of 2.6 x 10^-8 sec is not a
particle at all but merely a transient binding energy.
