What are quarks made of?
- labster 5y agoSnips, snails, and gold-pressed latinum. Or possibly strings. If that’s not true, the best answer is the tautology: quarks are made of quarks.
- 323 5y agoQuarks are excitations in the quark fields. Thinking about them as particles is a useful simplification/model. Analogy: there are no "red pixels", there are just red excitations in the display RGB field.
- davrosthedalek 5y agoAs far as we know, quarks are not composite particles. They are fundamental (and point-like). Same as electrons, photons, etc.
