In which Hank plays a song for you...the video was made in Illustrator and After Effects and it took a ridiculously long time to do. I hope you like it.

[Altair Ibn-La'Ahad]

Electrons HAVE mass-> 9.1×10^−31 kg

[carolineissleepy]

Listening to this before my physics exam totally counts as studying. Totally .

[SomeGamerKid]

WAIT. Strange and charm are quarks. But quirks are little strangenesses that some people can find charming.

HOLY SH-

[mahmood amar]

Wait im not the only one????? cool

[JoyLyte]

I just finished reading all about quarks and this song is like the topping on the cake! I love this song!

[totallyunimportant]

It's... complicated. At the fundamental particle level size loses its meaning. Particles act more as waves than as particles as we know them, so size in a classical sense isn't really preserved. Electrons still have a radius of ~10^-15m but since we've never observed a quark on its own, we have no idea how large it is. Bit convoluted, but hope that helps.

[Inumina Sagashi]

If electrons had no mass then they wouldn't be matter...

I got a question right while watching jeopardy because I remembered this song

[Nohjjohnthegreat]

Sorry for being 13, then.
