According to the current mathematical formulation of quantum chromodynamics, a violation of [[CP-symmetry]] in [[strong interaction]]s could occur. However, no violation of the CP-symmetry has ever been seen in any experiment involving only the strong interaction. As there is no known reason in QCD for it to necessarily be conserved, this is a "[[fine tuning]]" problem known as the '''strong CP problem'''.
 
The strong CP problem is sometimes regarded as an [[List of unsolved problems in physics|unsolved problem in physics]], and has been referred to as "the most underrated puzzle in all of physics."<ref>{{cite conference |first=Thomas |last=Mannel |title=Theory and Phenomenology of CP Violation |booktitlebook-title=Nuclear Physics B
