Smaller than an atom, but majorly important: introducing the quark! Quarks helped make sense of particle physics, and we'll tell you all about it in this new episode of SciShow!

Fourth quark's the charm!
-
Gell-mann seriously had a hidden talent for naming schemes
-
"Particle with strangeness were particles with strange quarks in them" mkay
-
"...but apparently [calling the new quarks truth and beauty] was just too much... " That was a genuine LOL on my part.
-
"indivisible" haha I've heard that joke before, not getting me this time
-
Physics before quarks: "There's four fundamental forces: gravity, electromagnetic, strong nuclear, and uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..."
-
Up, down, strange, charm, bottom and top. Sounds like sexy time roles.
-
It would be cool to have a channel that produces a video series that explains how particle accelerators work, how the results are collected and then how they are analyzed to come up with these proofs of particles like quarks.
-
People kept telling me I'm weird, so I had to put a positive spin on it. That's how I discovered my quarks. Now I tell people I'm not weird, just quarky.
-
"Up, Down, Strange, Charm, Top, Bottom, if you don't know what a quark is it don't matter you've still got 'em."
-
Quark: it smells like upquark What is upquark? Quark: Nothin much you?
-
I'd like to know more about how these particles were predicted and tested for their existence. All too often, I heard about scientists apparently proving something but not even a layman overview of how it was done.
-
my powerful flexing broke some quantum mechanics causing scientists to investigate
-
"if you use energy to separate quarks, they will use this energy to make new quarks" -Kurzgesagt
-
You should have explained where Gell-Mann got the idea for the name! He read it in James Joyce's book Finnegans Wake, and Joyce in turn heard it when he was travelling through Germany from some ladies on a market; "Quark" is German for curd cheese. So basically, the whole universe is made up of a dairy product
-
On Canadian radio there was a show called “quirks and quarks” and I loved listening on road trips. Now I love scishow and science podcasts, and I think that show is the reason why!
-
mind blown!
-
QUARKS AND STUFF
-
3:30 So a quark is kind of like my phone, it never seems to have a full charge.
