347 views

Can someone explain this in laymens terms? I don’t know what Pentaquarks or tetraquarks or whatever else this stuff mean. And what does this change about what we know about physics or sub atomic particles etc?

Its like lego. Lots of little bits of various shapes and colours (quarks) that can be put together to make bigger things (protons, neutrons, electrons) which can then make even bigger things (atoms) which ultimately makes up what we know as ‘stuff’.
