"The Universe's Building Blocks: Atoms, Quarks, Forces"
- Humans are the most intelligent creatures in the universe.
- The human body is composed of organs, bones, blood, nerves, and more.
- Zooming into the heart reveals billions of cells, each containing millions of unique complex molecules.
- Atoms are the smallest known building blocks of the universe.
- Elementary particles, like quarks, are the smallest known building blocks and cannot be broken down further.
- Quarks collectively form protons and neutrons, which are subatomic particles.
- Protons are composed of two up quarks and one down quark, while neutrons consist of one up quark and two down quarks.
- Quarks have color charges, but these colors are not visible and are exchanged through gluons.
- Gluons exchange color charges between quarks, holding them together.
- The strong nuclear force overcomes electromagnetic repulsion, binding protons in the nucleus.
- Removing a quark from a baryon requires a lot of energy and results in the creation of a meson.
- Electrons, part of the lepton family, orbit the nucleus and emit photons when jumping energy levels.
- The electromagnetic force is created by the exchange of virtual photons between charged particles.
- The weak force is responsible for beta decay, converting neutrons into protons and vice versa, and has a very short range.
