What's the baryon with three Up quarks? It would have +2 charge, thus, if replaced a proton in an exotic atom, it would require two electrons to achieve balance. This possible?

[cassiopeiaproject]

@Mostwantedo The Delta++ baryon has three up quarks. It quickly decays into a proton and a positive pion. It decays too fast to exist in a stable nucleus.

What mediates forces?

@buzzin1975 Check out our "Standard Model" video.

Acids taste sour, and protons (or hydrogen-ions) are what makes acids acid (like vinegar).

How do you know what a proton tastes like?

Amazing reading up later that the empty space in a proton takes up 90% of the total area of the proton, yet the proton weighs far more then it should for all that empty space. The discovery of virtual particles bursting into and out of existence accounted for the mass of the proton in full if I understood it correctly. Nothing does in fact weight something :D In-fricking-credible :D

Will somebody please, please point me to a program that filters out the music and percussion from these, for me, otherwise excellent videos. Alternatively could cassiopeia give - optionally- any useful commentary as subtitles, so I can simply mute all sound.

@Abengoshis lemon juice, vinegar, citrus acid, etc.

I once read that protons decay after some billion years. What does this mean? Do gluons lose frequency? Do quarks slow down? Do they stop spinning? What happens if quarks collide? What do strings have to do with all this?

...Where do these quarks and gluons come from anyway? And what's up with their magnetism (i.e. light interaction)? Why are these quarks and gluons said to have "color" charges?

So the gluon force makes particles stick together, and the photon force makes particles separate...

@Abengoshis yeaa i know i feel like an idiot :P

[Abengoshis]

@thinkstrait lemons contain citric acid. I'm pretty sure thats an acid... xD

[thinkstrait]

@thinkstrait shit lemin is an acid :P

[thinkstrait]

@Abengoshis H+ ions are acid OH- ions are base, lemon is a base :)

@cassiopeiaproject Thanks for answering :)
