Hank Green - Strange charm

A qu^Cark is a fundamental c^Constituent of m^Fatter ^GObserved in 1968 through ^Fdeep electric sc^Catter

We ^Cfound that protons were more co^Fmplex than we thought We ^Gthought they were solid particles but ^Fthey are no^Ct

^CProtons in fact are made up of three separate^F pieces It just g^Gets more confusing as our k^Fnowledge i^Cncreases

And t^Chat is what a quark is; it’s a piece of ^Fa proton And they al^Gso make up other things in^Fcluding the neu^Ctron

^CUp down strange charm t^Fop bottom If you d^Gon’t know what a quark is it doesn’t mat^Fter, you still got ^Cem

And with le^Cptons and bosons unless something^F’s amiss They make up e^Gverything that we can see and th^Fat we know ex^Cists

^CThings made up of quarks including pr^Cotons and neutr^Fons ^GAre composite particles that physicist call ha^Fdrons ^C

^CMany times those hadrons are theoretically desc^Fribed ^GBut most exist for only very br^Fief amounts o^Cf time

^CQuarks have electric charge, colour c^Charge, mass and s^Fpin And ha^Gving colour charge means they exist so^Flely in^C side

^COther kinds of particles that cannot exist a^Flone Which is w^Ghy quarks have never been st^Fudied on their o^Cwn

^CUp down strange charm t^Fop bottom If you ^Gdon’t know what a quark is it doesn’t mat^Fter, you still got ^Cem

And with l^Ceptons and bosons unless something^F’s amiss They make up e^Gverything that we can see and th^Fat we know ex^Cists

These t^Ciny bits of matter are part of al^Cmost everyth^Fing There i^Gs no unified theory to ma^Fke it less confu^Csing

But the fa^Cct that we’ve identified that th^Cey exist at all^F Is so^G remarkable that I am cons^Ftantly in a^Cwe

^CUp down strange charm t^Fop bottom If you do^Gn’t know what a quark is it doesn’t mat^Fter, you still got ^Cem

And with lep^Ctons and bosons unless something^F’s amiss They make up ev^Gerything that we can see and ^Fthat we know ex^Cists
