You can't split a quark, partial quarks doesn't exist. In fact, singular quarks can't exist, if you try to pull quark out of nucleus, it produces another quark

You can't split a quark, partial quarks doesn't exist. In fact, singular quarks can't exist, if you try to pull quark out of nucleus, it produces another quark to pair with. Quarks can be destroyed in particle accelerators collisions but those aren't components.
Also, all of the components of an atom, electrons and nucleus, have mass.

- drdeca 5mo agoHuh? I thought color confinement prevented this?
