Quarks and leptons for beginners: from fizzics.org

Quarks and leptons are fundamental particles making up all the normal matter we know. The properties and differences are briefly explained with an introduction to the way quarks exist together to make up other particles such as hadrons.
A prequel video on the family Fermions is here:

that was really helpful my teacher said I had to watch something educational and I'm glad I found this

[izaacwilson]

Found this more informative than other videos. Thank you!

I tried to watch this video with the closed captioning on, and I couldn't stop laughing at the wording used.

If something isn't stable does it exist or does it dissappears. Or do we not have the technology to keep them stable 🤔

THANK YOU SO SO MUCH THIS WAS WAY MORE HELPFUL THAN MY TEXTBOOK

[supercoolio]

you explained what particles are lepton and quarks, but didn't explain what they actually are and how they differ from each other?

Hello i was wondering if you could answer one more question which has really been bothering me. It may just be that i have incorrect information because I'm reading Wikipedia but I'm looking for clarification on an issue.

Thrilling video for young science stars

Hello sir I have a couple of questions that are really bugging me :((
-How do protons turn into neutrons in positron emission when neutrons are heavier?
-In my textbook, it says that the 'proton is the only stable baryon', meaning that it doesnt decay, but, in positron emission, they turn into neutrons?!
-How do protons emit a W+ boson when the mass of a W+ boson is 80 times heavier than the mass of the proton itself?

Thanks so much

i jst found this out yesterday in class

Sir wikipedia gives about the spin of electrons but I want to know how quarks spin inside protons and neutrons and how it is half

[MAGI-OS]

Returnal linked me here. What does it mean??

[rockstarfoxy]

what does it mean that a photon has zero REST mass?

[michealdumasii]

If protons equal +1 and neutron equals, how can we produce a value of -1 ?

What's the music at the beginning and at the end? need to know

[innertubez]

2:01 wait- a Pion is a single particle made up of matter and antimatter? How is that possible? I realize it’s highly unstable and so has a short lifespan, but if the quark and antiquark can get so close without annihilating then why would, say, a proton and an antiproton not be able to touch without instant annihilation?

[PrasannaKumar-kdmd]

pls tell how the quarks spin and how it becomes half

[pureenergy]

When quarks spin billions of times a second are they faster than the speed of light?

Antiup - down
antidown - up
anticharm - disgust
antistrange - regular
antitop - bottom
antibottom - top
Note to self - don't mix physics with comedy...
