The Quark

in #physics8 years ago

It is possible to break the fragments of an object, or it can be broken into pieces or pieces of stone broken into pieces. And based on this simple fact, about 2,500 years ago, the Greeks concluded that there would be a time to break into pieces when it could not be broken and broken into the substance. They named the smallest part atom. But later it was known that this atom is not the smallest part or primary particle (fundamental particles); There are also some particles inside the atom. The nucleus of protons and neutrons and the surrounding electrons surrounding it are made of atoms.

For a long time, protons, neutrons and electrons were considered fundamental particles; But in 1964, the theoretical physicist Murray Gell-Mann of the California Institute of Technology and in 1968, the scientists of the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center proved that protons and neutrons were made up of smaller particles. Murray Gell-Mann named this particle Quark. The quark name has a little bit of history. This name comes from a quote from James Joyce's 'Finnegan's Wake' book- 'Three quarks for Muster Mark'.

Of course, the primary particle is not only the quark and the electron, but there are many other particles in this list. In this list there are two molecules called muon and taon, which are thought to have been very large in the later universe of Big Bang. There is also a particle called neutrino, which has the ability to penetrate the trillions of trillion-millile thick lead layer. However, the main point of discussion of this article is the quark; But the quark will be the lecture of the cast!
