what exactly are quarks and how do we know they exist?
In: Chemistry
Quarks are what make up atomic particles. ie quarks are what make electrons, neutrons, and protons.
How do we know they exist? Because we smashed some electrons into some neutrons and protons in a particle accelerator, and when we smashed them together new, smaller stuff, came out. We’ve identified 6 different kinds of quarks.
