Abstract
The internal space-time symmetries of relativistic particles are dictated by Wigner's little groups. The -like little group for a massive particle at rest and the -like little group of a massless particle are two different manifestations of the same covariant little group. Likewise, the quark model and parton pictures are two different manifestations of the one covariant entity.
