When were quarks invented?

Answer 1

Quarks were discovered by using particle accelerators to smash subatomic particles. These particle accelerators, beginning with the machine at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC), accelerated charged particles to tremendous speeds and then forced them to collide with or smash into target material. The collisions cause protons and neutrons to break apart, and quarks were identified in the particle tracks as some of the "broken bits" that scattered following the collisions.

The quark, which was proposed independently by physicists Murray Gell-Mann and George Zweig in 1964, was confirmed when investigators at SLAC found the first quark in 1968. It took until 1995 to identify the last type of quark when the top quark was spotted in collision results at Fermilab.

Answer 2

A quark was finally observed in 1968, which is four years after it was theorized. Investigators at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) were the first to spot it. As there are six quarks, confirming the existence of each occurred over time. The top quark, the last to be found, was documented in 1995 by researchers at Fermilab.

Answer 3

They never did, they DEDUCED IT. There is no physical evidence to date that quarks actually exist. don't believe the crazy particle physicists who believe their mathematical Fairy Tales are valid.

Answer 4

Quarks wheren't invented. They where discovered. The Up, Down and Strange quark where discovered in 1964.

Answer 5

The first Quarks ever discovered where discovered by Murray Gell-Mann.

Answer 6

The Up, Down and Strange Quark where discovered in 1964 by Murray Gell-Man.

The other 3 quarks where discoverd later in the 20th century.
