Why are protons so boring?
Neurons and electrons are mentioned a lot and are useful but last night I couldn't even remember the name of the proton.

yo where the fuck do protons and electrons get their charge from? what does charge even mean anyway?

The Noether current from the QED Lagrangian. Anything else you'd like to ask, faggot?

charge is a fundamental property of the elementary particles. so electrons are elementary particles and they have charge intrinsically; protons are not fundamental and get their charge from their constituent quarks.

the fact that elementary particles can have electric charge is related to the fact that nature has a local SU(2)xU(1) gauge symmetry, and electric charge emerges as the noether charge of this local symmetry via noether‘s theorem
