Murray Gell-Mann and Geroge Zweig, working independently, first propossed the quark theory in 1964. George Zwieg later won the Nobel Prize for advancement in physics with his discovery of the quark.

Whoever first read it after it was formulated.


Will the universe ever stop?

the original big bang theory ended in a big crunch. the modern dark energy theory says it will keep expanding ever faster until it is ripped apart and no quark will be able to detect any other quark, and it will still keep expanding faster and faster.


What is an antibottom quark?

An antibottom quark (or b-bar quark) is the antiparticle of a bottom quark. It has the same mass as a bottom quark but opposite electric charge and other quantum numbers. When a bottom quark meets an antibottom quark, they can annihilate each other and produce energy.


What is the scientific name for quark?

Quark.


What are the 2 fundamental particle based on quark theory?

The two fundamental particles based on quark theory are quarks, which are the building blocks of matter, and leptons, which include electrons and neutrinos. Quarks are bound together by the strong nuclear force to form protons and neutrons, while leptons do not participate in the strong force.


What are neutral pions made of?

Neutral pions are composed of a quark-antiquark pair, specifically an up quark and an anti-up quark or a down quark and an anti-down quark. They are the lightest mesons and are unstable, decaying rapidly into two photons.


Where does the term quark come from?

The term "quark" comes from the book "Finnegans Wake" by James Joyce. Physicist Murray Gell-Mann chose this whimsical term to name the elementary particles he proposed as building blocks of protons and neutrons.


What is an anti-down quark?

An anti-down quark is the antimatter counterpart of a down quark, one of the elementary particles that make up protons and neutrons in the atomic nucleus. It has opposite electric charge to a down quark and can combine with other quarks to form antimatter particles.

What is an anti-beauty quark?

An anti-beauty quark, also known as a bottom antiquark, is the antiparticle counterpart of the beauty quark. It is a fundamental particle that has the opposite electric charge and other quantum numbers compared to the beauty quark. When a beauty quark and an anti-beauty quark pair up, they annihilate each other, releasing energy in the form of other particles.
