Quarks - Sixty Symbols

[nachoijp]

Up, down, strange, charm, top, bottom... physicist versions of porn

[CommitToFocus]

so quarks taste like cheese?

[danx033]

"Oh that tastes good" ha, these guys are funny

[MrEdLoop]

Up, down, strange, charm, top, bottom.

If you don't know what a quark is it don't matter you still got 'em.

[svgrobski]

I love the amount of puddings used in these videos.

[Poponfu1]

this one did not do a very good job explaining them as your other videos

[sholmesbrown]

I hate QM.... Bloody interesting but it makes my head hurt. Kinda like schrodinger's cat. We know that the cat has to be either dead or alive and can't be both but in math/QM it can be both and is even shown in experiment results.... Hell QM can give me a number to what the chance is I'll teleport to pluto. Really no shit there is a chance anyone can. Gotta love QM.

[Noovil25]

hahahaha..Prof, Bowley always makes me laugh !

[XAttaHabibX]

if you close your eyes between 5:32 and 5:42 ...

[hilliuno]

@XAttaHabibX i see what you did there

[commetsmasher]

That model looks delicious! :D

[miesrah12]

And this is why I watch your chemistry colleges more often. Chemistry is so much more understandable!

[beingsensible]

"Both had a door into her office." 5:38

It's not like I'm not listening to the amazing facets and wonders which led up to quarks we know today (they should've at least talked about Shoichi Sakata and his model). But that office thin made me giggle. I mean his hand gestures are just ridiculous.

[ligerx45]

"They had the two "offices" and the secretary "in between"...

[aei05h1]

Ducks have been telling us about quarks for thousands of years!

[Thetarget1]

This cheese gives a whole new meaning to the term "quark flavour"

[limpy601]

That cheese looks revolting!!!

[darcprinston]

this video is very informative... but i can't help but chuckle a bit whenever the random duck sounds are made. childish, maybe. still lulz? yes indeed.

[tomaskvapil]

You discovered new particle - delicious quark..

[pabloenis]

2 people feel really stupid after watching this :)

[MrZombieRyan]

@pabloenis 3

[MR61random]

ooh that taste's good

[aureusyarara]

I can't concentrate on the quarks because that PIECE OF DELICIOUSNESS was calling my name.

(Gonna eat a sammich and re-watch later)

[fritspas]

mmm Kwark.

[MrPyroguy1]

8:22 lol epic!

[AdolfHendrix]

QUACK QUACK QUACK!!

[ilovefrankandbeans]

Apparently these dudes are really into COCKS

[MichaelHowrie]

Just six? ...what about their anti-particles? ;)

[Quintinohthree]

@MichaelHowrie

Is a positron an electron?

[MichaelHowrie]

@Quintinohthree it's an anti electron. they're both leptons. what's that got to do with quarks?

[Quintinohthree]

@MichaelHowrie

A positron is not an electron but an anti-electron, the very opposite of an electron. The same goes for quarks and anti-quarks. By the way, positrons are not leptons, they are antileptons.

[MrPyroguy1]

@Quintinohthree The positron is the anti-particle of the electron.

[deenibeeni]

physicist humor...is so adorable.

[davidandkaze]

Oh up down strange charm top bottom if you don't know what a quark is it don't matter you still got 'em and with leptons and bosons unless somethings amiss they make up everything that we can see and that we know exists! This is how I found SixtySymbols, heard Hank's song about quarks and started looking everywhere for more information, eventually found this video and subscribed half way through watching it.

[skiingfreestyle]

This videos are just great.

[pantheratigris86]

"they shared the same secretary..."

that sounds so wrong...

[TheRealCristianLuca]

@pantheratigris86 neah, that's just lovely

[SillyEddyPhotography]

@pantheratigris86 Nothing wrong about both of them having a door 'into the same office' ;)

[Dayumhesgood]

@pantheratigris86 Watching too much porn will do that to you.

[valloir]

Up, Down,

Strange, Charm,

Top, Bottom,

If you don't know what a quark is it don't matter you still got 'em.

DFTBA.

[inkcannon]

I can't describe how much I love these videos! I'm so totally ecstatic when I see them. it's just how science shows on TV should be... all friendly and honest.

and the best thing is that whenever I have a question about the topic discussed they already answer it without even hearing me!! whereas on those NOVA science specials I always have big questions like "well, how do you know that?"; or "but what's the point in guessing about the cat?" and here everything is answered!

:DDDDDD

[PaladinswordSaurfang]

is it pronounced kwark or kwork? i've always pronounced it kwork, like "captain qwark" from ratchet and clank...

[MrNoemise]

@PaladinswordSaurfang If I remember correctly, it was originally imagined to be pronounced "Qwark", But the "Three quarks for muster (Mr.?) Marks" sort of voided his pronunciation of the word.

My Source is just an old Science book I have on my shelf (Which, I feel inclined to say, Said "Mr. Marks")

[puncheex]

@MrNoemise: Finnegan's Wake is, like most of Joyce's works, pretty much stream of consciousness writing, and is extremely difficult to work your way through. It is the kind of work where almost ever word in it has three or four allusive meanings at different levels; the use of the word "Muster" rather than Mister no doubt had a reason. More like a deep literary puzzle than a novel. Quark as well no doubt had subtle meanings.

[ijunkie]

These videos are worthwhile just for the little stories that were meant to be forgotten but somehow survive to enrich the experience of science.

[damianpaz]

So, in the end, all that matter is cheese!

[mpdp85]

do they really need to represent proportions by cutting cakes all the time

[ligerx45]

This only makes me hungry, I <3 cheese...

[sun6021023]

I thought a proton had 2 up quarks and a down quark, and a neutron had 2 down quarks and an up quark?

[sidewaysfcs0718]

@sun6021023 they do

this clip explain just that there are 6 in total

protons and neutrons only contain 2 types of quarks.

other hadrons contain other types , but ofcourse they are unstable.

[VegsoulWhiteWolf]

demonstration by cheese cutting reminds me of a famous apple pie... :)

[YourBrainOnReligion]

You guys have some fascinating videos. Thank you so much for sharing this type of knowledge.

[orangegold1]

I love how he gives up at the end so he can go eat... "but who knows if there are higher energy qu... nom nom nom "ohh too good to stop eating" nom nom nom" *fades to black*

[mrshmeggagy14]

why does this guy that appears second, have red ears? Sometimes they are not red, sometimes they are =D

[nigleman]

aren't those plums on the cheese? not apricots? cos whats the purple stuff?

[atourdeforce]

@nigleman no there apricots, they oxidise the cheese to form that purple colour, nothing strange about it, just a peculiar interaction.

[clodester]

beautiful and elegantly explained as always. Thank you.

Would you consider doing a miniseries/playlist on each of the particles from the "Particle zoo"? The quarks are covered, but what about the others?

[Films4You]

He's just eatting a Quack, ath the very end LOL

[MichaelFrostChicago]

Your videos never ceases to amaze me. Well done.

[ElMirc]

Looks like the Up wants to stay Down lol!

[esdjiraan]

"Look how easy they are to separate, in this model!" i lol'd

[Edgewalker89]

@esdjiraan so hard

[PanzarMetal]

We're all made of Quaks !!!!

[jasonguyperson]

Ahhhrrghh! The uncertainty of quantum mechanics drives me insane.

[wesmatron]

Quark, Strangeness, and Charm.

[vinsong]

too much to handle. I'll just slap a deity in and call it a night.

[onthecuttingedge2005]

i heard that a top quark weighs in near at 1 gold atom? is it true?

[RectumPilum]

Can you do videos about Leptons and Bosons too? I'm having a really hard time finding out more about it (after watching DFTBA's "Strange Charm" video I suddenly got very interested). I thought this was excellent, but is there anywhere I can find more information about how it all works?

[soapy05]

This video make me crave some delicious quark cake . I remember having german cheesecake back when I lived there, except it was made with quark. Much lighter and not as sweet as american cheesecake, but oh so delicious.

[derman077]

SAT Question. Up is to Down as Charmed is to...

[RectumPilum]

@derman077 Strange.

[derman077]

@RectumPilum Yeah. Well thanks anyway.

[sc0rpi0n0]

"Oh that tastes good." LOL

[Mojosbigstick]

...and sideways and peppermint....

[thexsoar]

up, down, strange, charge, top, bottom, it you don't know what a quark is it don't matter you still got 'em

[MarkArandjus]

That cheese looks like a cake.

[koffypr]

I didn't understand that last part . Higher energies?

[MrDavetheman]

type into youtube - "hankgreen Strange Charm: A Song about Quarks"

its very good -DFTBA

[GRAHAMAUS]

@kristijanadrian I look forward to the peer-reviewed scientific research of your alternative theories being published in the near future.

[FlashFizz]

What is that sheet of paper that says "ENRICO FERMI" on the bottom?

[MrOldprof]

@FlashFizz The sheet says" The work of a theorist, if it should have any sense, should be of extremely high quality. In this respect, we do not need more theorists than, say, egyptologists. Physicists with less than exceeding capabilities should do experimental work. For instance, measuring the density of all materials on earth is useful work which does not require much insight."

It was put in Philippe Nozieres' office when I worked with him in Grenoble. I copied it as a reminder to improve.

[blenderpanzi]

@thelleht It's not pure cheese. And cheese does not describe it right. It is sweet.

[MrOldprof]

@blenderpanzi I called it curd cheese. Your'e correct: it is not pure cheese and it is sweet---I called it delicious.

[blenderpanzi]

One person apparently thinks he/she has a better model of particles (or can explain it better)?

[workforcetrust]

a very funny explanation, indeed :-))

[GrandeMestre]

What are the names of those scientists?

[okuma0kuma]

looking at cake just kept distracting me so it basically a tiny 6 sided cube with short elastic on each face  being pulled apart by balloons on each end that cause tension on elastic aka gap dependent on the air volume in each balloon ! i think i just quacked that

[counterclockwise123]

thumbs up for tweed jackets!

[miles9538]

oh that tastes good

[martsen79]

That was a great video. However, I've also heard about quarks having "red, green and blue" charge (not really red/green/blue of course) and I've never quite got what it means or how it works. Could you ask about that, too?

Don't have to; I'm loving these videos anyways.

[MrOldprof]

@martsen79

Quarks have a "colour" which is labelled red, blue and green. For baryons made of three quarks, the quantum state must be colourless, which means that there is a red quark, a blue quark, and a green quark which is said to be colourless---they are three parts of the spectrum which are meant tpo give white light. `Colour is just a label in the strange world of quantum physics; nobody paints quarks.

[ananiasacts]

I wish they'd have explained why the quarks have fractional charges if it isn't just a mathematical device. And how can you talk about quarks without the gluon cloud?  Or why the sum of the masses of a particle's quarks is greater than the mass of the particle itself. These guys need to give us a better idea of exactly what quarks are really like.

[CelticReject]

There's an important lesson in life to be found here. Give something a sensible name (such as an ace) and you'll be forgotten. Name something after the sound a duck makes and you're remembered! lol

[abtthjh]

love nottingham uni !! did a foundation year there and i enjoyed it. now i feel i should have stayed there!

[faithie70]

Scientist say there is over a octovigintillion quarks in the known universe

[jacksawild]

Shouldn't Atoms be renamed? It is meant to mean indivisible and we only call "atoms" atoms because we thought that was the end of the line. Quarks are the new atoms, for now at least.

I'd have pursued physics if someone told me there would be cake.

[DontYouHateEmos]

excuse me, im going the remove this slice of apricot of the quark cheese and divide into three. and look! how easy it is to separate in this model! :D hilarious

[rickimam]

Thanks for feeding my unused brain cells.

I cherish your channel so much!

[Neutrinoghost]

Quarks should be pronounced to rhyme with "chalk" - Qwoork..Gell-Mann has said so himself.

[jrf1088]

Our world is amazing

[Einstreit]

60 symbols booiii

[r4zv4nes]

physics is more fun with cheesecake!

[gamehero77]

quarks look tasty :)

[smbhax]

Great story about Gell-Mann and Feynman. :)

[sixtysymbols]

@smbhax Make sure you watch the "extra footage" which I've posted as the video response....

For those who don't know, I post "extras" from sixtysymbols and periodicvideos on my channel called nottinghamscience

[smbhax]

@sixtysymbols Ah thanks, hard to spot them since they've moved them down below the uploader comments now! D:

[cabrita309]

Awesome!

[HK412]

how does the varying mass of quarks effect a effect proton and neutron mass and thus atomic mass

[HK412]

How do does the varying mass of quarks effect atomic mass, this concept comes off very strange to me

[Plasmana2000]

Haha I love it! Describing science with food... :D

[KaiserTota]

Well, at least I'd eat a quark a night.

[NiceyNiceGuyMike]

mmmm...tasty quarks

[Digadogup]

cheese cake?

[Crapulency]

I want that cheese

[jordanmjk0]

wow im in chemistry right now and holy cow that was so interesting well the more you know eh...

[Randomizer3000]

science+food=happyness :D

[trancecyberian]

I LOVE DUCKS! :D

[aBangProduction]

"...but who knows if they go to higher energy....'oh that tastes good'.... there could be others"

LOL great vid

[deadzen]

Better than reading an article about the symbols, thanks again.

[craniumpie]

that explains the hawkwind lp "quark, strangeness and charm"...always wondered about that...

[weaternpi]

im head over heals

[Kargoneth]

Your annotation at the end of the video leads back to this video.

[sixtysymbols]

@Kargoneth cheers... fixed now I hope!

[edtronic]

Feynman 

[keeny24]

man i love these vids, i think i learn more from these than from school XD

[SirMildredPierce]

@keeny24 Welcome to the 21st Century.

[Ralphgtx280]

thats plumb not apricot

[Intervene]

Thanks. Great vid

[Vennificus]

AHA so a single theory CAN be made in different places at the same time....

While I'm at it

"so a quantum physicist walks into a bar....maybe"

[IMakeOrWatchVideos]

i feel bad for the quark named strange.

[garenzy]

is that cheesecake?

[modl]

@garenzy

sort of

at least the german "quark" is a bit closer to yoghurt than cheese

[Talon3000]

@garenzy Yep. We germans call it Käsekuchen which translates to cheese cake, but actually its made from lean quark.

[Lavabug]

Feynman = my hero.

[elimik31]

@Lavabug I totally agree. From now I'll call the quarks "partons".

[mvszao]

Yes, that was the first time a saw a quark!

[afhdfh]

There's always gonna be smaller particles. Science will always be able to break things into even smaller bits. :)

[jjkul1]

@afhdfh

I think of the universe as infinite in both directions, there always something smaller than what you thought was small. And there is something larger and more distant away than what you knew yesterday. Sub7an Allah.

[MarijnBouma]

Love how he used cheese cake in the example - in Dutch cheese cake is called 'kwarktaart' ('kwark' cake), with 'kwark' pronounced exactly like 'quark'!

[amnesiai]

you say quarks funny

[skinnyjohnsen]

LOL. Very informational and hunger building. Love the editing ;-)

[Ekki1701]

Brilliant, and Quark is really really tasty.

[Dirtboy101]

I thought that cheese was some sort of tapioca!

[QQBistro]

is it cheese or cheesecake?

[sixtysymbols]

@thelleht It was delicious!!!!

[LordNapalm]

Cheesy finger is slightly distracting.

[MrNDSteinbach]

The word 'quarks' in a British accent sound like something else...

XD

[oOoxelAoOo]

I heard somewhere that the flavours of quark were originally going to be named after different flavours of ice cream, not sure how true that is though.

[DomhnallX50]

great videos guys personally i think aces wud have sounded cooler but james joyce is irish like me so im happy lolz

[ALAPINO]

You guys make me hungry-- :)

[525047]

I have always had a problem with quarks being called a fundamental particle because the definition of a quark is so closely related to the way in which it is produced. There's a reason one of them is called strange. I would like to know more about the experiments that produce them because I keep getting information indicating a lot of doubt in what's being observed from these collisions.

[r4nj33tt]

Good work. Great share. I simply love your channel. :)

[Zeldakitteh]

Joy. What a nice way to start the weekend. =D
