Unlocking the Universe: Protons, Neutrons, Quarks, and Quanta Explained

Dive into the fascinating world of particle physics as we unravel the mysteries of protons, neutrons, quarks, and quanta! Discover how protons, with their three valence quarks, define elements and stability in the atomic world. Learn about neutrons, the neutral players that stabilize atomic nuclei, and explore the fundamental quarks that make up these baryons. We’ll also touch on the concept of quanta—the packets of energy that reveal the dual nature of particles and waves. Join us on this enlightening journey to understand the building blocks of our universe through the lens of the Standard Model!
