The Quirky Side of QUARKS...

Ever wondered what the tiniest building blocks of matter are? Buckle up, because this video dives into the fascinating world of QUARKS! We'll break down the Standard Model of particle physics (think family tree of fundamental particles!), then zoom in on the six types of quarks, each with its own unique quirk (pun intended!).
We'll explore how these fractional-charge particles combine with the strong nuclear force (the ultimate glue!) to form protons and neutrons, the heavyweights of the atom. But quarks hold some mind-bending secrets too! We'll explore why we can never see a single quark alone, and reveal the surprising truth about their contribution to mass.
So, are you ready to journey into the subatomic world? Join us as we unlock the mysteries of quarks!
