Quarks: Inside the Atom

Matter is all the stuff that we see, feel, and smell around us. By definition, matter has mass and takes up space. Matter includes substances such as water, wood, rock, metal, plastic, and air, as well as countless other materials. All types of matter are made up of tiny particles called atoms.

Atoms and the sub-atomic particles they're made of are far too small to be seen, even with the most powerful microscope. Despite this, physicists have developed an understanding of the structure of these particles through experimentation and indirect observation.

I have no problem with god. Its just his fan club that bothers me.

Perhaps as structures seem to be infinitely larger (stars, star clusters, galaxies, galaxy clusters) structures may be infinitely small. (I honestly don't believe the "observable universe" to be the *entire* universe.)

Electrons doesn't "rotate". They pop in and out of existence.

@dinoflagz the proton is supposedly comprised of one "up" and two "down" quarks, while the anti-proton is composed of one down and two ups.

@dradulemihawk How can you not have a problem with him?

[dinoflagz]

Where do they get the anti - protons from.

theres mini atoms on planes inside a atom. also it is 50% fine matter which is the energy u transfer to when u die not visable.

@jasonguyperson i totally agree with you its such a precarious thing to think about yet fascinating 

[wolf1010]

Does not explain anything. I feel like even the narrator was unsure of the subject. Explore further if you're interested in these kinds of things. I promise, it only get's more interesting, if you can keep up =]

Infinity isn't a number, It's the procedure of adding.

@USTASEZADOM That's one of the problem with these 'educational videos', the graphics can be misleading. It happens a lot and people get these wild ideas like what an atom's supposed to look like.

But it's not just videos, scientists are also guilty of bad public communication.

'Cloud based' is also very misleading.
