What are quarks made of?

>> No.15198544

They are events in a quantum field

>> No.15198552

maybe strings in like heaps of dimensions haha idk

>> No.15198555

>>15198537
They're figments in the imaginations of particle physicists. So presumably they're made out of whatever mental delusions are made from.

If our hallucinations are able to consistently provide information about the world in which they exist, then we are able to gain knowledge and reason about the world in which we exist in. Will we ever see the noumenal world? Maybe, but not while we are alive.

some people believe quarks aren't fundamental particles and they are looking for excited states for them, which would prove they are made of other particles. This is made in CERN, for example. But for now, there's no evidence this is the case

same thing as dark matter: judaism, peer review and replication crisis

Haha my professor just handed us all this picture today. Are you at Caltech?

>> No.15200568

>Quarks are considered to be elementary particles, meaning they are not made of anything smaller. They are considered the building blocks of protons and neutrons, which make up the nucleus of an atom.

So nothing I guess.

Let's say something set the rules to this universe in the beginning
can we change said rules? Can we recreate that moment and create an universe with our own rules within our universe?
Can we change a single rule? Is there one rule all supposed rules emerge from?

No

I mean if you could create a mini universe within our universe yes I guess it makes sense you being able to customize the rules
>Is there one rule all supposed rules emerge from?
There is no evidence for the existence of a single "root" rule from which all others emerge, this is an unexplored field so I guess this might be your chance to get your name in the textbooks of future generations

So I could create a universe that just produces matter in an infinite process or energy or anything my heart desires

Other smaller quarks. Stop asking question

>> No.15200635

They are abstractions. They don't have to be made of anything. (They by definition are not.)

Quarks are tiny people prove me wrong

Yeah but that energy couldnt leave that mini universe you made
