The Ultimate Mystery: Is There Anything Smaller Than Quarks? (Crafted via Avonetics.com)

from Curious Minds Unplugged · host Curious Minds Unplugged

Dive into the mind-bending world of particle physics as we explore whether anything exists smaller than quarks—the building blocks of matter. While the Standard Model claims quarks and leptons are fundamental, theories like string theory suggest particles could be made of vibrating strings. But is "smaller" even a meaningful concept at the quantum level, where particles act like waves or field excitations? Join the debate and uncover the secrets of the universe’s tiniest mysteries.
