Cool Particles

I have no idea what these particles are, but I like them a lot.

Protons contain two "up" quarks and one "down," while neutrons have two "down" quarks and an "up." The newly discovered particle contains a "strange" quark, an "up" quark and a "bottom" quark. The bottom quark is called a "heavy bottom" quark, making the neutral Xi-sub-b about six times heavier than a proton or neutron.

I think my cat ate a "strange quark" yesterday, and threw it up on the rug.
