@blitzphd: The discovery of quarks (well, technically, partons) came just a year before we landed on the moon. Coincidence? I think not! 🤣 #physics #stem #quark #dis #explained
I'm starting to realize that a lot of the breakthroughs of human history was prompted by a question of "what happens if i hit [thing] very hard with [different thing]

Have we already tried shooting quarks with something?

Can you please explain that as an electron is a excitation in a, I think, a 3 dimensional field & is "pointlike" meaning is occupies no space then what is being fired at the proton to bounce off of its internal structure? To visualise these experiments the diagrams show electrons as little balls, protons a bigger little balls with 3 smaller balls inside them being the quarks. The quakes, which I think an electron also is, again are pointlike quantum objects I think. Is the little balls just some useful concept that in reality just don't exist? I'm very interested to know how physicists like you think about this.

How can you tell the electron lost energy?

serious question: when was the last time a person on their own, like higgs, had something breakthrough proven in particle physics?

I got to tour end station A, where the quark was discovered, when I interned at SLAC! It was so, so, so cool

wait so protons are made of quarks just like the atom to a nucleus?
I mean is a proton mostly empty and have 3 very small dots compared to it?

I watched a video about how quarks were discovered on YouTube by a channel named rational thinker. This TikTok summarised it very nicely although I would recommend watching his video on YouTube

All of human invention just to go from smashing rocks together hard to smashing very very tiny rocks together even harder :D

Jerry Rapp :
The thing that constantly amaze me is how scientists are able filter out all the irrelevant things to find the actual things they're looking for. These high energy events are so quick, so rare and depends on so many variables that it's baffling that you can sort out the chaff to get to the actual important things. All you really have is thousands (or billions) of sensor readings.
