Yeah but you still wouldn't listen anyhow.
I listen to fact, evidence and what is known. Not to fables of alternate creation based on nothing.
What do you mean by "some reason physical matter should behave this way?"
All you have quoted there is about how quarks are an elementary particle and make up matter.
They group in a certain way, and are affected by the strong nuclear force, which you do not know anything about, as far as what it actually is. They have a certain function, and work a certain way. All in accordance with the basic fundamental forces that you don't know about, in any meaningful way.
Are you asking why matter is made up of smaller elements? If so, the only answer I can give is, that is the way nature works.
Bingo.
A free quark is not observed because by the time the separation is on an observable scale, the energy is far above the pair production energy for quark-antiquark pairs. For the U and D quarks the masses are 10s of MeV so pair production would occur for distances much less than a fermi. You would expect a lot of mesons (quark-antiquark pairs) in very high energy collision experiments and that is what is observed.
Here or
here.
So?? Point?
Hadrons are an particle that is made up of quarks.
Right, so quarks always are found that way..no? So?
What does? That there is 6 flavours of quarks? Would you prefer physicists to make them disappear for you?
No, but there are many flavors of ice cream too...so what?
Particles decay because they are unstable due to their high mass and particles like to be as light as possible.
In other words particles in our state decay. Right. They won't in the future, and it seems to be debatable whether they do in far away space. The laws of physics of the present are required for that.
Well Hydrogen is the most common element in the universe and guess what they are made of?
Tell us how you know that..

This seems to assume that the spectral signature coming in tells us what is in the interior of stars? Elaborate.
That's right, up and down quarks.
Talk to us about up and down quarks you have seen way up in the far away universe? What, that is the only kind you see?
What are you going on about? Spiritual world?
Get out more. It is all through history, and is well known, and observed, and tested, and recorded.
The other quarks are heavy so they are formed in high energy situations which are on earth either cosmic rays or particle accelerators.
That says nothing! In other words, silly man can only make them by smashing God's good stuff together. That doesn't mean they can only be made that way in the universe. That should be obvious.
That is the way it is. Why? I don't know, maybe someone else does.
So you don't know. OK
So what? That line was just stating a fact about quarks.
So a pointless line was inserted?
The quark model is just a way to classify all the quarks and how they combine into particles. It predicted some new particles which were found experimentally.
As I said, man can detect some of the patterns of God. Small, or otherwise.
The strong force is(I believe, won't know till my lecturer moves on to the strong force in the coming weeks.) well understood and comes under the name of
Quantum chromodynamics.That is outside my field of knowledge.
It is not know at all. Just how it works. Don't hold your breath. Try asking Prof some hard questions. He might think you are smart.
We need to observe things and gather evidence before we make statements about the nature of matter. Unlike some people.
Very good, get on it, then. Report back when you find something.
Nope, you are asking the wrong questions so you can then go either:
- Goddidit
- Spirit World didit
Therefore science sucks
If science doesn't know, we can go anywhere. No news there.
Believe isn't the key word since I use it differently than you do. There is no evidence to suggest that time has changed over the history of the universe and without evidence we can not account for things that you make up.
Believe is the key word. Since that is all you have to declare all things the same since the creation of the world. How would you have any reason to know anything about what the laws were and forces, and fabric of the universe? You say it like all that matters is what Johnny come lately science can grab hold of now.
