At first, particles seem exotic and mysterious, but many handy people here on TRF should be able to see some of them with a few basic instructions:

When people saw see these tiny trails 100 years ago or so, they wanted to know more and ended up building things like:

Dang, you pre-empted my pun.
Yes, Quarks are very tiny.
Also hard to keep track of.
You have to follow their trail, as mentioned above.
I have one somewhere around the house, but can't find it.

I'm still waiting for Estes to come out with a Higgs Boson rocket.
Oh Oh, let me take this...
Single stage named: Hadron, 2 stages: Mesons, 3 stages...?

"The strong force that binds quarks inside hadrons is carried by another kind of tiny elementary particle called gluons, which are exchanged between the quarks. To separate individual quarks requires an enormous amount of energy (it's not called the strong force for no reason). This amount of raw energy only existed in nature about 10 billionths of a second to about a millionth of a second after the Big Bang, when the temperature was approximately 3.6 trillion degrees Fahrenheit (2 trillion degrees Celsius)"
How do they know that?

I hope this doesn't become another gluon thread.
I think they reproduced it in the Hadron collider.
If you have a Quark, make sure it's the up one, not the down or strange one.

Musings: If there are such things as subatomic particles, couldn't there also be a super universal field where multiple universes are expanding and contracting, not just our own?
Hmmm.....

Perhaps the easiest analogy is that it’s like investigating a car crash.
They crash particles together and look at the parts. They can measure masses, charges, momentum, energy etc. for each particle and use equations to figure out how tightly the parts were held together before the crash.
It’s always a matter of designing experiments to improve equations and designing equations to match experiments. Back and forth over decades and centuries until it’s all consistent.

A while back I made a processor board, and the project name was Gluon. If you look you might even find a Feynman diagram on it!

Yup, I see it. On the processor board.
